Renting & Real Estate - September 2006

It seem that houses are either ranches, tri-level, quads or 2 stories. What's with the colonial? And finally, if you call it that, please knock it off!

It's been around for 50 years or more, but has recently been revived. And why was it not used for a long time? How do people usually learn about it? Through lawyers, realtors, or what?

I am interested in buying a property that is being sold by the owner (who does not have a sellers agent). The property information states that buyers agents are welcome. Do owners who sell without an agent typically cover my buyers agents commission?

just moved into ground floor apartment that we pay top dollar for (in our neck of the woods). My husband and i enjoy a smoke on the patio after dinner and i enjoy sitting out there with a book and a smoke now and again. Problem: 3rd floor neighbor is allergic to cigg smoke... has complained incessantly... accommodated him by now smoking 8 yards from our patio - but still, he complains about the smoke... i see that there will be no adequate solution but for either of us to move out... I can'r even enjoy my patio for the amount of money we pay for this place! I am soooo unhappy. Any advice anyone?

I'm thinking of buying a 2-unit building, using one unit as my primary residence. My question has a few parts.

1) I'm planning on moving out of my townhouse and renting it out full-time. I can easily get $1500/month for that. How will that income be taxed? And how will that affect my taxes at the end of the year? Will I still get the tax break for the mortgage interest that the renter pays?

2) I'll be moving into the 2-unit building, using one of the units as my primary residence. I can get $1500/month for the other unit. How will that income be taxed? And will I still get the tax break for the mortgage interest that the renter and I pay towards this second mortgage?

I'm still maxing out my 401k each year, to take advantage of that tax break and help plan for my future. So that'll help out each year.

Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated.



Thanks!

Developer is looking for investors to buy lots of land. Developer is wanting to start an IPO and get $$$ to launch it. Investors buy lots and "cash out" $20 K -- then lease the lot back to the developer and in a year's time -- the developer buys back the lot. Can you do this? Or is it a Ponzi Scheme?

I have been working as a loan officer assistant for the past two years and I've decided to become a loan officer in due time. However, my current employer I know wouldn't give me the time or day to help me even though he and three others were helped tremendously 10years back....I want to be lucky like them too.

Indeed, I'm attending an online university because I work 40-50yrs/week and I'm helping my family out...now i know that with time, the proper people, and a lot of luck...i could become a successful loan officer instead. My future goal for the next 10-15 years is to become a mortgage broker and run a small but productive office.

I'm not looking to become rich rather just live a comfortable life. I don't want to become a fraudulent loan officer either...i've seen two loan officers careers go down the drain due to commiting fraud in their loans.

Landlord/owner slammed down notice in angry fashion to tenant. stating that visitors had no right to park in parkinglot. This is reason for "30 day notice to quit". Was only told about this 24 hours before recieving notice. The warning was given at 10:30 at night by off-site landlord.
Isn't it the landlord responsibility to cite illegally parked cars that are found on the property? Or is it the duty of the tenant?

My husband and I bought a piece of property with cash a couple years ago. My husband now has tax problems and we are worried about the IRS taking the property. My parents let us borrow some of the money to buy it origionally and they don't want to lose thier money either. If we quit claim this property over to them so that we have no interest in it, can the IRS take it from us still or place a lien on it? There is no mortgage.

no will available. no grandma. grandpa was alone. house in Arkansas. We are in California. selling house in AR, have buyers, buyers got loan approved, then a lawyer or the underwriter of loan says it needs to go to probate. All debts were paid or cleared by us 2 years ago. Lawyer tells buyer not to pay us the rent anymore (going on 5 months now) and we need that rent to pay the mortgage the house in AR has. Then they say we need a rep for us in AR because we live in CA. Papers to ok sale by a judge get signed. Now we are still waiting for the rep to get bonded so he can act in our place to sell house in AR. Why couldn't we just sell the house to the people. All debts paid. and the current mortgage gets paid off when the house closes. House was in grandpa's name. But we have been paying the mortgage for 2 1/2 yrs now. Just don't understand why there is such a long delay and probate fees to pay. We will barely break even with the repairs we already paid for on the house in AR.

The Endowment Policy is three policies that add up to a surrender value just over the value of the mortgage. The Policies will mature in 4, 5, 6 years. There are warnings against each of the polies - that they may not pay enough to cover the mortgage value at maturity, but the larger and older of the three policies has been looking better over the last two years, and, if left to maturity, will be just enough to pay-off the mortgage.
Could it be "cash in the hand is better than a promise of a brighter future?".

I am very interested in renting a condo in Denver. The problem is that the owner really just wants to sell it, but has been unable to find a buyer. If I were to rent the condo, could he sell it out from under me at any time? Should I be looking for something in the lease regarding this?
