I am planning to buy a house. With so many small and large lenders available, I am kind of overwhelmed.

If I do a comparison using "Bankrate.com" as an example, I get a lot of competitive offers. But how do I know which one is real?
I hear that some lenders will pull your leg with an attractive rate, but they will then hit you with points and fees at the signing day (even after providing a GFE early on)!

How do I find a reliable lender, with competitive rates?

Thanks

I rented my home to one party and they went ahead allowed their brother to move into my garage. The person on the lease is leaving the property but the brother (who is not on the lease) is refusing to leave. Can I have him removed as a squatter by the police or do he also have legal rights like a tenant and have to file an unlawful detainer?

My hubby and I bought a condo a few months ago in Middletown, Ohio. Across the street there is an elementary school. They are getting ready to tear it down and build a new one. It is rumored that when that happens they will be tearing down the government housing located nearby also. The HOA is planning to make this a gated community before the completion on the new school. Will any of this effect my home value?

I live in Astoria Queens and want to buy a condo or a house. I can't afford the million dollar homes here. Do any of you know a nice area where I could start looking? I make 55k a year and have a terrific credit history.

I just purchased my first home in April with an interest-only ARM, with two separate loans (80% & 20% (to help avoid the PMI)). I'm not understanding how I'm building equity in my place when I'm only paying towards the interest of the two loans.

Also, I'm working on a plan to take any extra cash I have so I can pay down the higher of the two loans (the 20% loan of $37k @ 9.75%) so I can eliminate that loan altogether and lowwering my monthly payments by the $377 I'm paying towards that second loan. Am I on the right track with this idea? Has someone come across this before/have a better idea?

So I want to gain a better understanding of how paying interest-only is building equity AND I'm looking for ideas on how to make the most of the limited amount of cash I have on-hand.

At the viewing the agent could not say whether or not there was a phoneline. I now find there isn't one. I need the internet at the property in order to do my job. It will cost substantially to install a line. Is this considered an essential service, and will the landlord be liable for paying for this, or will I? I have not agreed a let on the property yet, but would like to. What is my position?

Our apartment complex was bought in December, 2005 and the company that bought the complex said they would honor all tenants' leases until they were completed. Then they immediately began a condo conversion.
We did not choose to buy there and when our lease was up June1, 2006 we left the apartment in very good order.

We have not obtained our security deposit back as of this date.
The condo managers say we have to get the security deposit back from the new owner of our apartment/condo because the unit was sold and closed on in March 2006 before our lease was
up.
The condo managers further state that if the unit had been closed on after we vacated then THEY would be responsible for returning our security deposit., not the new owner..

I never heard of such a thing--we have no idea who bought the unit and the condo management has not been forthcoming with that info.

The condo managers said we would get the deposit back but I don't believe them and think they are stalling.
