We're house hunting and on a very tight budget- under 100,000. We DO NOT want to live in a city, despite is being cheaper and we are REALLY not big on townhouses/row homes. There are two properties we have been looking at -

One is is in a BEAUTIFUL area where the land itself would SURELY go up in value over time. It is a single wide mobile home with a stick build permanent addition. This one does not currently have a permanent foundation but we would add one in time if we purchased this.

The second one I'm not sure if it considered a mobile or manufactured home. It's in a really nice country area with lots of farmland, and the home is on a permanent foundation already and is in immaculate condition and completely renovated- looks just like a really nice little ranch home, pretty much.

Now both properties are titled with the land, and there's very little else at this time to consider because of our budget. My only concern is would the property values go up in either situation?

We put an offer on a home in the begining of July. The house was listed at 249,500. We offerend 262,500 knowing that the house was very underpriced and there were 3 other contracts already on it. The couple that owns the housing is going through a divorce so legal issues came in to play and they have had court dates because the husband now wants to buy the house cause he yhinks its underpriced. Blah blah blah. they keep going to court to decide if they have to sell it or not. Anyway its been over a month, the next court date is on the 20th. We have since found another house that I actually like better. Can we cancel our contract being that it is taking so long, we don't want to lose this new house if we wait to long and the other one doesn't go through.

Her home has been in children's names (5 of us) for over 6 years.
When we sell, is there a trust we can put the money into for mom's use - without losing a lot of the sale money to taxes?

I have noticed a drop in the construction industry, across the nation it dropped by 35%. I wonder if people believe it is caused by the heat or our economy. August is usually the busiest time of year for painting and other construction trades? I know the sell of new homes is down, the building of new homes is down as well, and I herd that one mortgage company is filling for bankruptcy because so many people are late on their payments. What is going on, does anyone have any knowledge on this issue?

I need a loan of £5000 to pay of a few existing debts. My credit score is 520.

I have noticed a lot of private lenders advertising on here. Has anyone actually got a loan from them, and if so did you have to pay money upfront?

A mate of mine contacted richards_loan_agency and he wanted £180 upfront. He also tried Dharrin and he wanted £800 upfront. If we had that kind of money we wouldn't be looking for a loan.
Please get back to me about the private lenders on here, and what upfront fees you have to pay?

I need a loan urgently, but want no credit check or upfront fees.

Thanks

I just posted this question but the link I included allowed for changes to be made to my posting where I am trying to sell it so I wanted to repost this. Please read the link and look at the pics and tell me what you think this is worth. And for those who want to know, I need to sell this to make ends meet...I really do not want to sell it but I am running out of options.

After going through a divorce almost 4 years ago, I stopped paying on at least 4 or 5 credit cards. I've never paid a dime since, and they have killed my credit.

If I offer a settlement with each one individually, what are the chances they will accept? What percent of the original debt would be good offer?

Also, if they accept the settlement, will it be removed from my credit, and my rating go back up? The damage has already been done, so I really don't want to go this route if it is not going to help. In a few years it should be gone from my report anyway, I think.

Any suggestions/advice will be greatly appreciated as I realize this was one of the worst mistakes I ever made in my life.

Are there any good credit/debt internet forums out there?

For example, if I invested $100,000 and my profit is $10,000, totaling $110,000. Does IRS look at $100,000, $10,000, or $110,000 for tax deduction?

How much will they take out? 35%? I live in Texas.

Thanks!
