My credit is about 570 Just curious how I can go about helping this family and helping myself get in a home. I have heard stories of people signing over the deed, but I am not forsure if that is best choice, and Is that legal ( I am in California) and if that was to happen do I need to obtain a loan on my own ( which I don't think I can do for 100% financing)or do I just take over the payments? Any suggestions or info on how I can buy this home would be appreciated.

Today the land lord came to my friends house and demanded the next months rent which was for 1,400 he also wanted her to pay $500 for deposit. She has been living at the house for over a year. And the landlord has never asked for her to pay.

He finally came up with a rental agreement. in it he stated that the renter is should be responsible for any damage for the sink, toilet, holes or clogs, wear and tears, yard carpet, jacuzzi..ect..and also that the rent money will increase within one year.

Well my question isnt that what the deposit for? To pay for the wear and tear? the yard, the pipes and clogs?? Or am i wrong?? The house is literally falling apart and he doesnt fit it but wants the renters to fix everything else.

I was withholding rent because he failed to make necessary repairs. When he did make repairs, I gave him partial payment of back rent and told him that I would give him the rest next month when the rent is due. He give's me a 30 day notice. If he decides to take me to court and he's been accepting payments and I'm caught up on my rent, can he evict me under those grounds? And in this situation, what should I do?

Ok - kind of a subjective question. But San Francisco is crazy. $750k starter 2BR cottage. 1.2 Million 4BR with postage stamp back yard. Beam me up Scotty!

Although, he did not promise this in the lease, he did promise verbally. Not one counter top in the kitchen is bolted to the shelves, and a baby grand piano, is laying sideways in the den? I have lived in this mess since Jan. 1, 2006, and it is now Jun 20, 2006. I feel that I have gave him ample oppertunity to do the right thing.

She has agreed in the agreement to close no later than 8/1 and to close within a week when their bank say it is ready. But, she heard from her real estate agent that they want to close in the second week of July to lock in a rate. But, my mom will be in Europe for her vacation with nonrefundable tickets and is thinking to choose me as her Power to sign on behalf of her. My mom really doesn’t want me to be put through all that and I wouldn’t feel right, what if I make a mistake or something. Is there anyway of getting around to it???? Thank you.

How long must I be in our home before I can get a second mortgage??? I know to refinance or get an interest only loan it's a year but I believe my parents were not in their house a year yet and they already had a second and third mortgage.

The company sells all the loans they do. They can't sell our loan. They want us to refy again with them. The credit ratings on the new refy are way higher than they should be. They also won't pay our insurance and taxes, because they don't service loans. Our property taxes are overdue and we had to pay the insurance ourselves or it would have been cancelled. The loan was set up so the finance company would pay these things. I won't sing the new loan docs, because it's fraud.

I'm just wondering why someone would choose to go with a conventional loan vs. a VA loan. Aside from the VA loan having a maximum limit....

I just recently purchased my first home, a townhouse. I borrowed $12k from my 401k to help pay for the closing costs. My concern is this: what are some of the common problems with buying a rental property, once my 401k is paid back? My goal is to have a second property so I can have the tax break from TWO properties. OR, should I take any extra money I get next year and put it towards paying down my second loan (the 20% loan I took out to help avoid paying PMI)?

I am moving to and buying a home in the San Francisco bay area (corporate relocation gives major subsidies to home purchases) but am a little afraid that I may be entering the market near the peak. I was wondering what kind of financial/ other instruments are available to individual investors that can act as a hedge against declines in the housing market (understanding that nothing will give 100% protection). I had come across futures that are being traded on the Chicago Merc Exchange ( http://www.cme.com/trading/prd/env/housingover16250.html ) but was not even sure how to approach what is potentially a very complex hedging instrument. Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated!

For example, if I purchased a house today for $100,000, at 6% interest, what could I sell the house for when mortgage interest rates hit 10%?
