I have an apartment collections on my credit. I know the easiest way is to either pay it or may pymnt arrangements with the collection co, but it is for a considerable amt and is pretty recent.
The amount due is around $2000 from a broken lease (I moved out due to a family situation).
I am relocating to the Denver area from out of state due to job and do not have enough time to get it paid. I dont want to make arrangements with the collections agncy until I am settled and can honor the arrangement.
What apts in the Broomfield, CO will lease if this is unpaid ?
What communities do not do a credit check ?
I would also be interested in renting/leasing a duplex or townhome in this area if anyone knows of a good place to locate them ( besides the newspaper).

Thanks everyone !!

My neighbor's kids used to mow my lawn for a fee. Last year I told him I would be taking care of it myself from then on and I bought a lawnmower. But each week, if I don't get out and mow my front yard before about noon on Saturday, he'll have his kids do it and then he will trim and edge and occasionally, even water. He has not asked for any money and I have not offered. I prefer to do my mowing in the evenings when it's cooler, but frequently I will come out to the front yard with my mower on a Saturday afternoon and find him already mowing it. I have made subtle hints about the situation but haven't made a huge deal out of it. I think he does it out of generosity but am not certain. For a while I thought, if he wants to do work for free, let him, but now I am wondering what the legal implications are. Can he file some kind of claim against me or something?
P.S. I am not a slacker, it's just that I prefer to choose for myself what day and time I do my yardwork and he doesn't wait.

Is not the builder suppose to have already done that, or do I have to do that as one does with a home that has been lived in before? It could save me loads of money as it is on a 5 acre parcel in Georgia. Also, dont i get a year warranty on the home in case something goes wrong with the house? What about a home inspector? I wouldnt need that would I, cause it is brand new, right? I just dont know. Help everyone, I really need to know and I need to know very soon!!!! AAAAAAACCCCCCCKKKKKKKK!!!!!!! LOL!! thanx, Lauren

Where state do you live in and what do you pay for late fees when your rent is late, and what do you pay for rent and how many bedrooms do you have?

This is being asked to research housing issues and to see what is the norm now days.

I am in a 2 bedroom mobile home about 14 x 40 ? small anyway. I live in a small town in northern to north central mn and pay $395.00 month and if rent is paid after the 3rd we are charged a late fee equal to 10% of rent and in addition to that another $5 dollars a day after the third of the month. Which comes to almost half the rent if a month late.

My parents can't help, but my Grandma can (financially) without it affecting her standard of living. I don't think I'll need much help, but if I don't get help I won't be able to afford any type of housing. Sometimes my Grandma is in a mood to help, other times she's not. Should I even ask? A friend suggested I should bring up the topic and try to get her to suggest that she help. I don't know if I want to manipulate like that.

My county in Ohio (Lake) was recently declared a national disaster zone. I own a condo up there and it's my primary residence. The damage was pretty bad. Water filled the entire basement and leveled off at about 2-3 feet high on the first floor. Well... due to this I just want to get out of this property. I was even trying to sell it before the flood happened. If I were to walk away from this condo and move into an apartment, not making any payments, what can I expect?? I have no flood insurance and am waiting to see how much FEMA is going to give for repairs. I have no assests and I pretty much live on a check to check basis. The way I look at it I'm F'd as it is, even if I repair the condo the area surrounding it is complete crap anyways and will most likely not be fixed up anytime soon. Also who knows how many other condo's aren't going to fix there own, and based on that I have to worry about mold. This seems like my only option any help would be appreciated!!!! Thanks!

As a full time, 25 yr old student, I am tired of throwing money away on rent. Currently, I pay my rent with my financial aid, as do most students. My credit is excellent. In the town where I go to school, you can buy a home for $40,000. I have the down-payment. Is there any loan that I could qualify for. Oh, by the way...I don't work, so that I can keep my 4.0. (yes I know that this will hurt me.) Any advice you could give would really help.

We are paying our landlord cash (because he will not accept anything else. That includes utilities.) we found out that we are paying for his utilities along with our own. What can we legally do to him? We want justice!!

basically the highest mortage i can afford w/o a down payment, but same as what she paid for home or a little more
and what tax penalty will she pay(gains or gift??),(does she pay taxes on difference between what she sell us for and market value??)
in turn i own the house with a high-interest mortgage because of no downpayment,(to buy from mom), i sell it for market value, i accept the gains tax,(or maybe not caused i lived in house for 5+yrs before buying from mom) pay it, pay mom a sizeable amount, and then i am left with a down payment for my new mortgage and house,(which i didnt have before) i hope this makes sense

I have an 80/20 mortgage. The second mortgage is at 12.5 % (tell me about it) I wanted to know what the best way to apply extra funds to this acct would be, to principal only, escrow, what? Is an extra payment to the principal better than paying it biweekly (on my own accord). I plan to refinance in about a year. Please advise!

I'm thinking of using a discount realtor to sell my home. They charge 4% and say they pay the buyer's agent 2.7%. Is that the same percent the realtor gets from a traditional agency? I assumed it would be 3% (1/2 of 6%). If there is a .3% difference does that keep some agents from showing your home?

Does anyone out there have an opinion about Eagle Realty in the St. Paul, MN area? Good,bad,ugly?

Am I being penny wise pound foolish trying to use a discount realtor?

What's the easiest way to get my own comps? I don't trust a stranger-in-a-suit enough to believe the slick comp. reports they fabricate.

Thanks

My wife and me are considering moving over to the Boston area from Germany. Can anybody recommend which areas would be the preferred one's to go for? Our preference is not to live directly in Boston but maybe within a radius of about 25 miles around Logan airport, in a neighborhood with mostly single family homes.

Thanks a lot in advance!

I'm in wv. The landlord is here twice a year and i pay a go between the rent money every month. I have nothing in writing. I have been given about thirty days to move however notice came while on vacation. which reduced time by about a week. I want to know if there is anyway i can get the time extended in order to have time to look for a place. I have been here for 7 years and have done nothing different now than i ever have. I think he just wants me out because he knows i was looking for a place to buy and he has other people wanting to rent the house. The wiring and plumbing in the house are in a terrible state. There are 8 rooms all hooked up on one breaker. And all the fixtures in the bathroom are starting to leak. Can i make it so he has to fix all this properly before he can rent it out again?
