It would have been really neat to live in the canal house but they were just too far away, over 1 1/2 hour drive.  They also wanted a 10-20 year commitment, something I could see doing.  So I didn't bother to go look at them.  House investment is usually one of the best things you can do although I haven't faired so well.  My first house I made about a $10,00 profit on, my second didn't make any but with the tax breaks over the years it probably was still a good choice.  My current townhouse, well it's hard to say.  If I sold now I would clear about $10-15K, Julie's father loaned us $5K so we would have to pay him back.  As part of the divorce I think I will take out a second mortgage and give $15K to Julie and get to keep the house.  That would mean that if I sold in the next few years I would make nothing (or even lose money).  About the divorce, I had wanted it to happen in January but just before Christmas Julie said she wanted to wait till March so we are now planning for March.  I just got a do-it-yourself divorce book yesterday which I plan to read this weekend.  We are pretty much in agreement but need to work out some final things and then get it all down on paper.  AOL called me back last Friday and said the interview went very well and they are interested but they had two more persons they wanted to interview first and with the snow last week the interviews were delayed until yesterday.  I plan to call this afternoon but don't expect to really get an answer until next week.
