Renting & Real Estate - June 2006

I have a small group of close friends and don't go to church or any big organizations like that. Is it still possible for me to go into real estate and be successful? Where else do agents get leads besides people they know in their personal life?

i'm trying to sell my home of 22yrs. in staten island,ny, and have come across a number of problems, originally we purchased a p/o(part of) the lot. now they say this is unacceptable and i can not sell my home until this apportionment is completed. needless to say it has cost us alot of money to do this, i was told that there is no record of my home, and had to have an archetect make blueprints of my home, we had to pay for another survey of my property. and yet still they are being very difficult about this.

I am thinking about buying a condo there. It is a little run down, but my understanding is that they are trying to redevelop Essex county. I would be about a block from the mountain train station on the border of south orange.

Why does the mortgage company I work for let their customers know they have a grace period from the 1st to the 16th. Then they are going to make me start calling them on the 5th for the payment?

I finally found a handyman who has been great -- does a good job at a very reasonable price. However, he's unlicensed & uninsured...has his own little "business" with little business cards and everything, but apparently not official in any way -- I doubt he would know the Florida Dept of Revenue's contact information, for example :).

Anyway, he has roofing experience and I'm tempted to use him for some roofing repairs that our rental desparately needs. However, roofing is more dangerous than a lot of other repairs and couldn't I be held liable if he hurts himself? Is there anyway I could protect myself from liability in the event that he hurts someone or is negligent and someone else gets hurt during the job? Perhaps a waiver or something? If you strongly recommend I steer clear of him for the roof, what exactly do I need to see from a potential repairman (independent contractor) to be sure I won't be held liable?

My husband and I would really like to get into buying foreclosed, pre-foreclosed, and hud houses to flip them. The problem is- we already have a mortgage and only have about 10K in the bank. I've heard that you have to have cash to buy auctioned homes. Are there foreclosed homes you can get a loan for? I'm just learning about this so any advice about how we can finance this would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not paying because in the contract it says that within the first five months, my kitchen floor will be replaced, my broken dishwasher will be replaced, and my closet door will be fixed. It has been seven months and I am withholding my rent. I just got a letter saying that if I don't pay withing the next month, I'll be kicked out. Should I have my lawyer do something or what?

My parents want to sell their house and travel. I want to purchase the house from them. They will sell it to me for $80K and the house is valued at $250 +. I would like to get a mortgage of about $120 - 150 K so I can do some repairs / fix up to the house. What are the downfalls of doing this? and what penalties will there be for this type of sale? Your answers are appreciated.

We want 2 buy w/out a real estate agent representing us, we talked 2 the owner directly and agreed that whatever he saves by not having a r.e. agent on our side we'd split 50/50. Back in Jan. we almost bought a house twice, didn't go through w/ the deal, but I did manage to learn quite a bit about real estate. Anyway 2morrow we're going 2 meet w/ owner and his agent [the 1 that listed the house] 2 write the offer, when I talked to the agent she seemed kinda pushy and she wanted to get some of our info so she could pre-approve us even though I told her we already got our loan pre-approved w/ a lender that we trust+like. I talked 2 her again this morning and she said there was another offer on the house [scare tactic?], my lender said that we're good to go on the loan and can start escrow but he warned me 2b careful since the selling agent seems 2b wanting 2 get as much out of this as poss. and she even asked him what our FICO score is. WeDontWannaLetThisHouse go cuz it's good+cheap.
