I think may be able to buy my first house if the housing market continues to tank. It was overinflated anyway. The bubble is popping.

But the management provides no proof, and the tennant wasn't given a rent reciept, all tennant had was proof that rent was paid, can the tennant be evicted? This is a new manager by the way, my purse was stolen with that months money order reciept because we are supposed to pay at a specific currency exchange, and our management picks them up there, they are charging me late fees from 2004 and the difference of the amount written on the money order, which was eight dollars (8.00) that's right, its not a mistake, i was not working so that was my rental amount and she states I made the money order out for 3.89 but claims management isn't supposed to keep copies, now she says she doesn't know how I am supposed to prove that I paid th right amount, she might have a printout, but if you are good, u can see by writing on a piece of paper how 8.00 can be mistaken for 3.89. these numbers have the same shape, someone could have entered the wrong amount into the computer! That's all they have!

Does anyone know what will happen when two people are renting an apartment and one moves out but doesnt take their name off the lease and once the lease is up the last months rent is not paid. I know im still responsible for half, we are suppose to go to court. my question is do i have to go to court? or will they just let me know what i need to do next? and what do they usually do besides tell you that you have to pay back the money you owe.

I am in the process of launching an www.apartments-finder.com website to enable any apartment owner to advertise free. This site is unique in the sense that it uses navigation through Maps.

When I started, I was under the impression that apartments are owned by individuals ( and companies) like in UK. Now someone tells me that apartments are mostly constructed, owned and managed by companies and rarely individuals own it.

Is it true?.

I am 20 yrs old I bought a duplex 4 months ago for 147,600 its appraised at 148,000 so I got it at top dollar. I got financing on 80/20 80%@7.5 adjustable rate (will go up in 2 years guaranteed) and 20%@10.75 fixed rate. I will be paying interest for the first 2 months. I am losing $200 on this monthly w/ tenants living there. It's suppose to be my primary residence. Refi penalty for the 80 loan is $3600 and no penalty for 20%. So my question is I got a loan on stated income, I figured I am losing $200/month*24=4800 in 2 years interest only from my own pocket. If I refi now $3600 penalty and maybe $3000 closing cost (estimation) so that's $6600 loss which I can live with 6600-4800=1800 difference I can live with that. But if I refi 30 yr fixed rate I have very low income i am a college student can I get possibly better rates to lower my down payment, I want to refi 0% down fixed 30yr rate is that possible? I want some advice plz I don't want to go bankrupt in 2 yrs when rates go up!

STUPID- I sent a landlord a deposit for a property 3,000 miles away. I had friends go look at it and they said it was a dump. I told the landlord that I had reconsidered and he said no problem he would give the money back. Two days later he calls and says no go. If I am able to stop payment on the check(may not have cleared out of state yet) does he have any recourse? If the check had cleared can I get my money back? NOTHING WAS SIGNED

Hi, I am selling my home by owner. I have an offer to list it on the MLS for $179 and still retain my right to sell by owner. I am thinking of offering agents 2.5% or 3% commission for bringing me a buyer. I see that I can buy a digital lock box on the internet for only about $40. As I am not home most antytime, I would like them to be able to gain access. I know the lock box would have a code and I would put my key in there, but how do I get the code to the agent? How do I know they are an agent and not someone robbing my home? Can anyone offer any information that could help me out? Thanks

My boyfriend just signed a new 6 month lease that begins on the 1st. We just decided to move in together but want a 2 bedroom apartment instead of a 1 bedroom. My boyfriend would like to change to month to month with his apartment until we can find another apartment. Can we get out of the new lease if he notifies the manager he wants to go month to month before the start date of the new lease? Do you know where I can find any information about this type of situation? The only information I can find is about breaking leases in the middle of the terms of the lease. Thank you for your help.

How can I simply find out how much a piece of residential property was purchased for and what its value might be? Is there a website that can do this? I live in Illinois.

I was looking through the housing listings and found a condo listed for $150k. It's roughly 1300 sq feet with 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths. Given the price I'm sure it's not updated but that's more of a plus for me. I have no problem putting a little work into the place.

The condo fees are $327 and include heat. The complex is older, roughly 30 years old, but still looks decent and they do have some ameneties (pool, tennis, etc). How much should I expect to pay in condo fees? What should I look to avoid? What kind of questions should I ask? Most of the condo fees around here seem to be high.
