I was watching a "sell this house" type show 2 weeks ago where the guy couldnt give his house away (in a bad neighborhood) and he couldnt afford to keep it because the a.r.m. was going up.
A few years back, there was a house in a neighboring town that would not sell. The owners decided to raffle it off. They sold 2000 tickets for $100 each and got alot more for the house than it was worth. And somebody got a house for 100 clams. Not sure how they got around lottery laws though.
