We're purchasing a home in the Akron, OH area, but our mortgage approval at this point will be based on what the other homes in the area have sold for, even though our offer is below the appraisal. With the housing bubble deflating the way it has, that doesn't sound so good.

I have a tax office that pays the rent and gives me a small profit toward living expences but not really enough. I am thinking of opening a real estate business (I would get a boker's licence) out of the same office. I am trying to determine if this would be worth my while. The big problem I have is I do not know what to expect to pay the agents who would be working for me. I live in Southern California. I know nothing is set in stone on this issue, but what should I figure on paying?

I signed a deal with a pre-built home company three years ago, and found a small house design I liked. They sent me three blueprints to look at, and I've since then lost them.

QUESTION: Is there an "average price" for a standard set of blueprints for a standard-type model house ? This house was nothing all that "unusual", but they want the blueprints back now (since things didn't work out between us). Again, "average cost" for a set of THREE BLUEPRINTS ?
THANKS VERY MUCH !!!!!!!!!!!!

I am in the UK - I went to view a flat and gave the letting agent a holding fee last saturday. The flat needs some repair work so the agent promised it would be ready in a couple of days. But it has been a week now. I have asked him for my money back but he has refused. Its stated on the holding deposit receipt that he gave me that my deposit would be refunded if the work wasnt completed within the stated period. how can i get my money back? I need serious legal advise. I paid £200.

We're renting out a four bedroom house. Two people have applied together for the residence. Their combined income does not meet the required monthly income (3x the rental price). They may want to fill out applications for their fiances so their fiances' incomes can be included in the monthly take home, thereby qualifying them for the rental. What are the disadvantages, if any, of splitting the lease four-ways? Should I request an application fee for all four apps?

to me that is really dumb. Why would you pay all interst for your house. I woulnd't even do a thiryt year mortgage. First fifteen years is all most.ly intrest. I can't figure it out. Are these same people naive and listen to real estate agents or mortgage brokers. there like any other salesman. Out to make the sale and that's it.

I know it depends on the location and all that, I just want to know what's the cheapest price to the highest price and the usual price I should be expecting to pay if I was to ever purchase land there (I know it depends on when like the time, just quote me for the rates right now ok).

Thx!

We are in the process of renting a house out. Yesterday I accepted an application from two women who are friends and want to rent the house together.

Questions:
1) Am I legally required to accept applications from both of them? In other words, can a landlord decide to rent to only one party? I'm a bit wary of splittling the lease between the two of them because what if they have a falling out? However, I don't think I can deny them based on this because it could be considered discrimination based on familial status, correct?
2) They are using their fiances' incomes on the application to boost their monthly take-home. Should we consider this income since the fiances are not actually acting as co-applicants? I'm thinking no...
3) I haven't processed the application yet, but one of them said her credit score was 560. She said she's had a clean rental history at her apartment (which I'll verify, of course). What do you recommend as a cut-off no-go credit score?

We have been preapproved for a certain amount for our own purposes. Will the bank lend us more if we buy an entire building that has both a flat to let and commercial premises. What is the best bank/financial institute to ask? What other things must we consider in buying this type of building

We are in the UK.

A chandelier fell onto my laptop because the screws holding it in place came loose over the years. Is the landlord liable to pay for repairing the screen? It just cracked the screen. nothing else is damaged.

I am a first-time buyer, and am under contract to buy a house in NJ. The disclosure statement reported no problems with the house, but the home inspection has turned up a few major ones: the A/C is 25 yrs old & needs to be replaced, the fence around the pool is not up to code, and the house failed the radon test (plus a number of other small issues:electrical work, poor pool maintenance). We've gotten estimates totaling about $10k for repairs. We've requested the major problems be repaired by the seller but they are refusing to pay for anything other than the radon remediation. (They are offering to leave a hot tub in lieu of making repairs!)

The house was on the market for quite some time and we think the sellers were hoping to sell the house for more, but I feel that shouldn't excuse them from making repairs. I love the house and hate to call off the sale. Am I missing something here? Are my expectations unreasonable?

I am refinancing and my loan officer says that I have to pay $2000 for using escrow. Is there a way around it? I thought that escrow was unnecessary when refinancing. Isn't it needed only when purchasing or selling real estate property?
