Renting & Real Estate - July 2006

I don't have an idea as to the ecomonical topography of the City, but I can assume that you only live in Manhattan if you can afford it. So where else would a quasi-modern Bohemian with heavy pockets go to find their working-class dream pad?

My wife and I were supposed to close on a house a couple of days ago, but the title to house we were going to buy is meesed up. There is a dead uncle on the deed of the house we are buying. The house as only been in the family no outsider has owned it. The have 30 days to get it staightened out. The wife and I are going to wait the 30 days and walk if it is not settled. The Sellers realtor thinks it could take a couple of weeks to the 30 days ( Ithink he just wants his commission). I have been told it could take 6 months or longer. Any ideas. Thanks in advance.

I'm currently in a 5 year ARM loan at 5.625%. The 5 years is up next year and the loan begins to become adjustable.
I have about 21% equity in the home currently.
I'm wondering - should I refinance soon to a 15 year loan? We plan on being here another 4-5 years or so. Would it be better to do a 30 year loan and just pay extra principal instead of a 15 and not having the flexibility in case of a financial hardship?
I can get a 15 year loan for 6.7% with 1 point right now. I'm just afraid when the 5 year ARM runs out, it will keep adjusting way up.

Ok now I know Im new to this and this is my first house but I feel it says sucker on my forhead. I am sitting at my computer with a loan that says 2/28 arm but it also says that at the end of thirty years I pay a balloon payment of $165,000. Now the houst that I am buying is only $230,000. So first question should I have the house paid for after thirty year. And second question is this house really worth 1,000,000. Is this all normal and Im just sweatting the normal stuff or am I really getting raked over the coals like I think I am. Granted my credit isnt great but that is what Im trying to work on. PLease anyone out there with a clue help me on this

You are working with buyers who have made an offer on another agents listing. Offer was accepted, and you are scheduled to close in 2 weeks. Except when the buyers go by the house for another quick look at their new purchase, they notice that all of the beautiful coi (fish) have been removed from the pond in the back yard. The pond, inlcuding the fish happened to be a great selling point for the home. In this case would the fish be considered personal property or run with the land/home.

If you are not an agent/broker, please do not attempt to answer this question.

THANKS!

I recently moved into a new place, and the locks on the patio door and windows don't work. However, there are steel bars provided for all, that I can put between the window and frame of the wall to stop someone from sliding them open from the outside.

The owner, says since the condo is on the third floor of a 3 flat building, and the area is very quiet and residentail, that is sufficient. He also said, the steel bar is more secure than a lock on the window or door.

Would it be too petty for me to request the locks be fixed on all the above? Or what can I buy to lock the sliding windows and patio doors from the inside without the Landlord's assistance?

I suspect the owner would have to replace the windows ect to fix the locks. I'm not sure. Thanks
