Renting & Real Estate - October 2006

I am desperate to stay in our school district for my kids sake. I am desperate to leave my situation away from my boyfriend, also; for my kids sake. I now have bad credit (most is 5+ yrs old) and just started a descent paying job that will become commission based. I feel that purchasing is smarter than renting. So, I wonder if one has to have good credit, job stability, and/or money down to purchase a home. Or which is most important? I am working on all of the above and obviously it takes time. So, I need to figure out the best first, second, third and so on, move.

We are 4 people living in a 2 bedroom rented apartment in Lincoln, NE. The lease includes 3 names; myself, my friend and a third guy. A fourth guy is living without being in the lease.

Recently we have had problems. The third person in the lease and the guy who is not in the lease have been fighting and abusing me and my friend. They shout, throw stuff and curse at us. They don't clean and throw around trash.

1) We have requested the third person in the lease to release us from the lease, but he refuses. He will not break the lease either. Me and my friend are ready to bear any cost of lease-break. Can me and my friend force a lease-break on the third person?

2) Can we get rid of the fourth person who is not in the lease? He refuses to move out. He is dirty and is making the apartment resemble a trash can.

3) Somebody told me to approach "City Building and Safety". If I report that 4 unrelated people are living in a 2 bedroom apartment can they get the apartment vacated?

I'd like to change my existing sliding closet doors to sliding mirrored doors. Will that do anything for my house (added value or just appeal) if and when I decide to sell? I know it'll make the room look bigger, but what else will it do for me besides increase my love life?

I have just been told that I have a muscle disease in addition to other medical problems I have, we have had our house on the market for almost 2 years altough we have had offers and a couple of contracts nothing has worked out for us. We really want to sell our house so we can move back home and buy another house closer to our children. I pray every day that someone will just buy the house so we can move on.
Is there anyway to get a loan that will cover the exsiting home loan in addition to a new loan in another state?

I helped one of my clients get a lease option. The guy who leased it to him is in the business of these things and said he would try to set something up to repay me, like referrals, etc., because he was just helping out a neighbour, who couldn't pay much. He ended up sending me a check. It isn't much just several hundred. Should I take it to my broker and just take a percentage or do I keep it. I didn't know he was going to send me money, I thought he was just going to send referrals.

Any advice from an experienced realtors.

I bought my condo 2 yrs ago in Chula Vista California. I have two mortgages for my home. The first one the big one is interest only 4.625 wich jumps 3% in Dec causing a $500 hike on my monthly paymts. The 2nd one is fixed 12%. The hike is making it impossible for me to make my paymts. I tried to refiance, but I found out that the value of my home has decreased 15 thousand dollars. So my options I feel are only to really struggle with these payments on a house the is not worth what I am paying already or Foreclose. I don't want to get another loan(Home Equity Line of Credit) to pay off my bills so that I can afford this home, which is what current lender recommends so I can keep paying. I want to Foreclose but I DO NOT want to be Liable for a DEFECIENCY if they don't get what I owe on it. I was told to avoid that I should try to get the 2nd loan to foreclose first. Is this true? What Can I do so that I will not be liabel for Defeciency if I Foreclose. Plse help if at all possible
