If you purchased a house for 200K three years ago and now the house sells for 275k, do you have to pay taxes on the 75K gain?

It recent came to our attention that certain family members are in the process of selling land without our knowledge. We were told that the individual planning buying the land, could get an injunction to purchase the land, without our agreement. Is this true? They already obtained one signature from someone in the nursing home. We are not sure if that person actually signed.

When they ran my credit for the pre-approval my credit was okay. So I go sign all the papers for the house tomorrow. My question is before I close on the house will they check my credit again? Because I just recently had a check garnish from a hospital bill. It was only 200.00. But it will show on my credit now. Since I go sign all the papers tomorrow I should be okay?. The morgate loan is through Wells Fargo if that helps answer my question at all. I just wondering would that garnishment effect me at closing. Thanks.

Hi Yahoo Answers Friends,

You don't know us, but I am hoping someone out there can help. We are going to be evicted from my mom's home, My daughter (12) and I moved here to help her, she died just before Christmas, 2004. I recieved a notice from a deputy today, saying I have five days to respond.

My brother in Vermont, is the executor of the estate. He is not running things properly and when a probate court hearing could not determine wether we should pay rent and if so, how much, he proceeded with a civil eviction.

The house is un-repaired since Hurricane Charley. The estate has the insurance money. We’ve been patient, keep it from falling apart, hoping the others would "do the right thing" and give us a chance to keep it. We are 50% benefactors; the estate lawyer sent us a letter telling us they are filing an eviction BEFORE they fix the house.

The title company provided incorrect tax information on it's final commitment and closing papers. Their "insured" amount was $1100 less than what the actual taxes are. Therefore they did not collect the correct amount from the previous owners for their share of the year's taxes. Isn't the reason for paying for title insurance so to ensure all information including the tax amounts are correct? Since they had the wrong information to begin with the incorrect information shows up on the closing papers. I paid the amount that was on the closing papers but now am delinquent for the extra $1100+ they did not report. Are they not liable to pay the insured amount since it was definately their gross error?

i recently purchased a home in rialto, CA and one of the closest freeway onramp is about a 15 minute drive. in about a year and a half, the freeway will be extended and the drive will be about 5 min. the freeway won't pose any sound disturbances, but will definitely be more convenient. the city i live in is pretty far from a large city. this is my first home and i plan to live here for as long as possible, but i do hope that the value of my home will appreciate, because recently, the value has been dropping...alot. i still have equity, but am a little scared. because i want to refinance in 1-2 years.

I am seem to be swiming in debt at this time in my life...I would like to secure some money to help me pay off some bills.. I have equity in my house. Is it best to refinance this high interest loan, sell the home and use the profits to pay my bills, or take out a home equity loan? My first instinct is to stay in the house for a few more years beacuse this area is increasing in value.. How safe are home equity loans? Is refinancing wise with poor credit?

I am looking at purchasing a foreclosure. It is going to need about $50,000 worth of repairs. I was told I could get 100% financing on the home, but can I take out another loan for the repairs? What is the best way to do that? Are there pitfalls in doing this? Once fixed up, the home will double in value. I am an average consumer, with average credit with stable and a little above average income. Not an invester or realtor.

So I paid a move-in deposit on my duplex and my landlady ended up selling the duplexes... I just wanted to know who is responsible for giving me my deposit back after I move out - the new landlords or the old one?

I just signed a 13-monthes lease contract in July. Right now I want to vacate this apartment which is going to broke the contract. The termination fee will be more than $2000 dollar with 60 days prior notice!!! And I must move NOW. I am thinking what if I just get out of here without notifying my leasing office and don't pay the termination fee? What are they going to do if I ran? (of course I did pay monthly rent)

I moved out yesterday. My landlord was a real deadbeat and a jerk - refused to fix the broken toilet, wouldn't let me have guests for more than 2 days, put threatening notes on my visitors' cars, shut off my air conditioning when I aked him to fix the toilet, etc.

I'm going by today to make sure I didn't forget anything and leave the key. I am looking for good ideas of what to do as my "parting shot," preferably without being caught, arrested, or killed.

Creativity counts. My favorite idea gets 10 points and my eternal gratitude.

I'm 39 and a nurse. I don't have any children or anyone to leave this house to. Is there any point to such a big investment or should I have just stayed in a cheap apartment?
