<prompt> Human: I need to sell as it is only a 2 bedroom unit and not adequate for a family. I bought it when I was single just to get into the property market. Who knew the market was going to crash! Its not going to recover to its original level any time soon. My partner and I are on average incomes 65k and 55k respectively. We want to buy a home that we can live in and have a family. The said they will lend us what we need for the home we want provided we can save the deposit. I must first sell my property but this would leave me with a debt to the bank and make saving for the deposit near impossible. Does anyone have any idea what to do in this situation?Edit:Thanks for all the replies. To clarify, we are in Australia. If I sell it short Ill have to take out a personal loan to pay off the owed amount. The high interest rates of a personal loan make saving hard. I currently have the place rented out. The rent I receive only covers half of the mortgage so I have to make up the difference out of my salary pay rent for the apartment we currently live in.The problem is my partner doesnt like the property I own and doesnt want to live in it. We tried and she didnt last more than a few months. I know how pathetic that sounds - but it is still a reality I have to deal with. And yes this is totally a case of wanting to sell and get a better place as opposed to needing to sell. I feel so stupid buying this place when I was single. At the time house prices were rising rapidly and I thought that if I didnt get in the market, I never would. Had I just waited a few years, my partner and I could simply purchase the house we want no hassles.  <response>: It seems the best option is to stay in your property until you can save enough.I know it is not ideal, but a 2 bedroom place should be fine for a couple, even when you have a child or two. And that extra time staying there will allow you to save and put your family on a firm financial footing.
