All real estate specified in paragraphs (c), (e), (f) and (g) of this section shall be sold by the company and disposed of within five (5) years after it shall have acquired the title to the same, unless the company obtain the certificate of the commissioner that its interests will suffer materially from a forced sale thereof, in which event the time for the sale may be extended to such time as the commissioner shall direct in such certificate.
