Did folks lose out who bought in 2006? 

I dont know the reason but i assume it was so they wont lose it.Now my question is, is there anyway I can take out any more equity loans in the house so I can renovate fully and sell for a much higher price, can probably pull 3.5 for a fully functional higher end house.Is this even worth perusing or should I not touch this with a ten foot pole.Thanks all, looking forward for your expertise

You may be able to get a non-refundable option payment from the tenant-buyer and can potentially contractually lock-in a premium above the market value on the future sale, which may prevent you from losing money on the resale, if the buyer can actually complete the transaction at a future date.

I have been lucky with other ventures and have gathered roughly $ 150 000 USD and I want to put that money to work.

While cash flow isn't a lot, you want to make sure you aren't losing money. 

I guess I was not quite aware of the quarterly RMLS/Sentry lock fees and ridiculous annual REALTOR and local association dues.If I decide not to pay these, what are the consequences other than losing my license?

I think with all of them, the biggest factor is making sure expectations are set correctly and that your FIL is able and willing to lose his entire investment is things go wrong.
