Did anyone consider purchasing depressed and damaged real estate in New Orleans after the massive storm/flood that ravaged the area in 2005. Considering the fact that most people might take the perspective of investing after the flood as being a vulture also consider that the local government could use the tax dollars.

Do you think hiring a real estate agent to sell your home is a wise decision? Or do you think you could do just as well selling your home by yourself? What do you think a fair price would be to pay for a Realtor's services?

Im thinking about beginning selling real estate. How much did you make in your first year. How well do you do in the business? Are you good at what you do? Where are you in the country?

My husband and I are both over income to get county assistance and we have bad credit so we can't get a loan.

As far as disclosures goes, would you not say anything or just disclose "buyer is related to agent" in the purchase contract?

Ok, so right now we are renting an apartment. Our monthly expenses without rent are maybe $1000. The house we want is in Stone Mountain, GA and price is $189,000. We are first time home buyers. My Transperian? credit score is 712, but my husband's is lower. (I don't know, but lets say 650?) I'm 25, my husband is 26.
My first question is...
1. Do they combine our credit scores to make 1 score?
2. What are the odds of us getting approved for a loan at a very great rate?

Thank you for any help you can give!!
:)

I purchased a house two years ago and I found the house and all the realtor had to do was signed the paperwork and he got big bucks. My husband and I is in the market to buy another house and I wanted to know did we need a realtor to buy a house or could we write a contract and neg on our own. We will be renting the house we currently own.

My house is close to settlement. The appraisal came through 2K short of the buyer mortage but 3K above the actual sale price. It was planned that I would return 5K to the buyers. Now I STRONGLY believe it to be fair to only return 3K to the buyer since the house appraised for more than the actual sale price. The buyers demanded that I split the difference and provide 4K to them. Since I lose 1K from the orginal deal I agreed only to do repairs that were required by the town I live in, leaving out some repairs that were requested from the home inspector. All repairs are minor including some minor electrical, roof(actually a shingle), gutter, and AC repair. The total would most likely be below 1K.

If the buyers do not agree to me not making all the repairs is it ok to then presure my agent who stands to me 4% off the deal to take care of some repairs.
Or simply put do realtors ever provide money or repairs to close deals?

I want to know of the different types of lease to own agreements.

It seems the typical situation is to pay rent plus extra which goes towards the purchase price - what is the advantage to the renter here?

Is there ever an agreement whereby the renter pays a large down payment (25-50 percent) and then the monthly rent gets subtracted from the agreed upon purchase price?

Do you think that property prices will dramatically fall in the british isles in the next few years???

My opinion is they have to. First time buyers are the foundation of the property market and with so many of them being priced out I believe it's inevitable. What do you think???

A mortgage is secured on the house you buy so surely it's easier to get a morgage than a loan?

i was 5 days late paying rent (but i did pay, 2 days ago)
land lord said it was fine
today i got an eviction notice telling me i had to be out in 24 hours
Constable served it
im in KY

I looked up the KY Landlord/Tenant act and it says that hey can not legally put me out. that they must file in court and give me at least 14 days to move.

It also says in my lease that if my rent isn't paid on time i must move immediatly, but it says in the Landlord/tenant act that it is unlawful to take away rights in any way persuant to the Act.
Plus, they have my check for rent.

So, what do i do now?
What would you do?

I only have a credit score in the 600 range because of a bankruptcy. I've been offered over 20,000 cash back with a interest rate or 6.5% but I've been told that this would be an impossible offer for me because of my credit. I was also advised that this may be a scam and all these terms will be changed on the paperwork they give me to sign.
My house is worth around 175,000 to 200,000 and I owe only 77,000 on my current mortgage. Is this deal too good to be true or should I take it? This is a large company making the offer.

My wife and I want to help our daughter and her husband buy a home. They currently have poor credit and even with us providing the downpayment, they could not get a mortgage themselves. We thought we'd buy the house and let them gradually buy it from us. How can we set this up? Lease w/ option to buy? What about improvements they make to the property?

We are in the market for a house, and have talked to a number of developers in our community. They seem to offer great incentives, but only through their preferred lender. Is this a good idea, or is there some hidden landmines we need to be aware of?
