Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California
Want to move on
I'm on a house deed w/2 other people that are not interested in selling, but I want to move on. I don't really want to hurt the other people, but I really want to move on with my life & need my investment money in order to do that.

Re: Want to move on
Two big factors here that you didn't mention are (1) how is the property financed (if at all); i.e., who is "on the loan"; and (2) is the property worth more than was paid, and/or worth more than is owed?
There is a legal procedure for and unhappy co-owner to force sale of the property and division of the net proceeds of sale, but the process (called "partition") makes little sense if the property has no equity.
