Renting & Real Estate - October 2006

I am considering buying property in either Saluda County South Carolina or Ridgeway South Carolina. Neither location has huge populations, but since I am going to be buying between 30 and 50 acres, how can I determine which one stands a better chance of growth in population so the return on the investment is higher?

I am in the process of renting an apartment. The landlord and I have everythingin order, All she has to do is do I credit report on me. I am farly young(just turned 20) so I dont have very much credit. I pay my rent on time every month, I pay all my bills on time and have never missed a payment (cable, internet, phone) so do you think i will still get the apartment? what do you think? she said if i have good credit then I will get it.

There was no contracts signed. Is is unethical to not give him anything? And if you do pay him, how much?

I have excellent credit, been employed 2 years plus same job, make $100k, and am getting married shortly (I expect to be making $110k by March). I would like to be able to buy a house in the $500,000 range. I have little downpayment funds. I could swing $20,000 selling an investment. I also have $10,000 in debt (credit card). Should I pay down the credit card debt or accumulate more cash for a downpayment? Also, would my salary support a mortgage of about $480,000? (If unaffordable, how much does my wife need to make also for us to be able to swing this?) The house will most likely be in Suffolk County Long Island where the taxes are high. I see taxes of $6k min to $10k prior to STAR, a gov't giveback program that reduces the rate.

i moved in to an apartement and when i signed the lease there was an additional paper that i and my roomate had to sign saying we accept that there could be black mold in our apartment. well we signed it and less than 2 months after we moved in we found black mold growing throught the pain everywhere!! under the toilet seat along the window sill. i even bought a brand new rug for the bathroom and it now has small amounts on the bottom. was it illegal for them to have made us sign something without showing us how bad it could be. i am afrad that it is going to get really bad. plus i was recently sick with a chest and head cold...what do i do

asking someone who is really knowlegeable about legal and illegal forms and acting of landlords.

We are living in a home that we have rented for 4 years and the landlord is willing to sell us the home. We have got financing on our own but now we are struggling to figure out all the different loan offers and also what to do with the whole negotiation process. The house definitly needs work and we either want them to do the work or cut us a deal. We are first time home buyers and are trying to do this with hardly any out of pocket expense.
Thanks,
Polly

My lease expires Feb. 1st 2007, and I'm leaving in middle of Nov. '06 and its possible the landlords will rent it out as of Dec. 1st. If they do then am I still liable for the last 2 months rent under Ohio Law or can I just not pay anything as they're not going to lose any money by having another tenant in place? I know I signed a lease for the 12 month period; but how can they make me pay when someone has come along and occupied for the months I was leasving open? They showed my apt. today (middle of Oct.), and I'll be paying for the month of November also in full even though I'm moving into a house around the 11th. Doesnt sound legal to me to be profiting twice on the same apt.? I know I'll lose my deposit but thats only $260 as opposed to the $1078 I will still owe for Dec & Jan. Thoughts/Suggestions please!
Thanks!

I need some advice with the following:
My husband and I are planning to buy a new house that hasn't been built in Houston, Texas.
The cost of the house is $230,000.00. They are "giving us" $10,000.00 in incentives, but they are asking for $10,000.00 as earnest money. Everybody that I've ask about it, tells us that the amount is just outrageous.
What do you think?

I have been with my abusing bffor 8 years now and we own a house together. If I can persuade my bf is willing to sign, how do I get his name taken off the joint mortgage and house ownership? Obviously I'd start I expect with a conveyancing firm but is there a standard form? How would the bank take him off the mortgage? How much would it all cost?

I started a lease renting a condo on march 15 2006. In my original lease, my move out day would have been april 15th 2007. In july the owner sold the property to a person who does not speak english. So far I have been going through his brother to get my questions answered. I would like to know if my lease is still legal, or can I move out?

If I have a $150,000 loan on a $150,000 home, I will have paid over $300,000 in payments by the time it is paid off. Instead of saving over $150,000 in interest payments by just paying cash for the house, why does everyone still recommend having a loan?

Why does having debt and a horrible amount of interest to pay build equity?

Yeah, I can deduct interest on my income taxes, but so what? If I still owe twice as much as what the house is work in interest, what's a couple thousand in tax savings?

Wouldn't saving hundreds of thousands of dollars in interest payments be worth just paying in full for the house to begin with?

Can someone tell me why, in detail, or is it just Mortgage lenders who say that all this debt is good?
