Renting & Real Estate - July 2006

I am thinking of moving into an apartment with no utilities paid.
Could some one tell me what is the average water bill for normal size apartment like 2 bed/1bath in Los Angeles?
I'm sure it totally depends on how much water you use etc...but I just would like to know how much people normally pay. Just to get an idea.
I really appreciate your help!!

What is the first thing you need to do!?!

Who do you contact!?!

What are certain requirements for qualifying!?!

Will bad or no credit prevent you from investing in realestate!?!

We are supposed to close Monday July 17th and our land surveyor called earlier and left a message saying that the property is eased about one foot on the neighbor's land. All the houses are older, his was built in 1902 and it seems they have had the deed since 1985. The property we want was built in 1920 and has been with the same owner since 1982. There is no easement clause that we are aware of. What should we do? Should this be taken care of before buying the home or should we play dumb and see if things continue on? Surveyor says the whole neighborhood is a mess and needs to be resurveyed. Prompt replies appreciated!

can anybody out there help me with a problem i have? This landlord is suing me for damages he says i did in a house. I rented for ten years. I moved out over a year ago and he waited atleast seven months to sue me. I thought there was a time frame to sue anybody. Somone had moved in four months after we left. He done some remodling so i think he wants money for things he should had fixed while we were there. this house is very old( built in the fiftys)me and my husband were renting from month to month. We also never gave any money for damages.(deposit) we have to go to court in a couple of weeks and we cannot afford a lawyer. this landlord says he has pictuers but i dont know what thats going to prove because we lived there so long ago anybody could have done damages to this house in the time we have been gone. so is there any hope for us?

I live in Oakwood Village, Ohio. I need to refinance my home this month. The last mortgage broker I went to did not do a good job. He did something wrong. I have an adjustable rate. After doing some research(which I should have done before on the mortgage broker), having an adjustable rate now is not good. My present payments are too high. I have other bills. Could someone recommed a reliable mortgage broker or yourself if you can help? Thanks.

My mother has $200,000 to put towards a house in California. She is hoping she may get married one day, but does not want her future husband to have a claim in her property if she dies.

She plans to give the property to me (her only child) and my children when she dies.

If her future husband lives in her home with her, how can she keep it separate?

If he does any work on the house, like repairing the roof, doesn't it become community property in California?

Isn't it the same thing if they have a joint account and pay the mortgage payment out of the checking account?

Owning a 4 unit means more renters, but I understand that a duplex will tend to appreciate faster. Also, renting 3 units instead of 1 unit means a lot more work, and lets face it, time is money.

My mother would now like to add our names to the title of all four properties. I've heard of the quit claim deed, but it seems she would have to give up ownership and "give" it to us. Am I right? Is there another form that would be better for this situation?

I have lived in his house for 3 years and have paid half of the HOA fees, property taxes and mortgage, PLUS an extra $1000 a month towards the loan principle for the entire 3 years.

I think that it should now be community property since we have been married a year and a half and together for 5 years.

Can he use a quit claim to make it community property?

Can we just go to the court house and fill out the paper and pay $10 for the processing fee?

Is it that easy?

In the paper, in the classified section, there are some ads that have REAL cheap houses, and the number below the ad says "call for a list"... that is to say, you have to pay for the list.

Has anyone ever done this? Is it a rip off? Is it worth it? If I really could find a cheap house that had been repossessed, I'd be willing to pay 125 for the list, but I just wanted to be sure it's for real.

I signed a purchase/sale agreement to buy a new construction home. I waived financing and inspection in the agreement. But I have not deposited earnest money yet. Now I want to walk away from the deal. The sell threatens to sue me if I do not deposit the earnest money.

I bought my home before my wife and I were married. The problem is, her name is not on the deed or mortgage, and I would hate to think how the state of Texas would complicate things for her if anything happened to me. How can I add her name to the deed on the house?
