What does that mean when it says something like that? That the property is notice of default? How much would you pay for the property if it says $3125? Is that all you pay for that property or what?

My fiance and I are looking for our first home to buy. We live in Edmonton, AB, Canada. Yea basically houses that are not worth crap are going for ridiculous prices! We have been told by people that when we make an offer we should write a letter to tell the owners about us and why we want the house. Do you think this would help?

I recently moved into a townhouse that I just bought, about 2 weeks ago. I have not received a single letter in the mail yet. I have filed an online change of address request with the USPS, but besides that, I should have been receiving mail sent directly to my address since the day I moved in. What can I do?

I'm currently trying to find a 1bd apartment for no more then $1,000 in Koreatown or anywhere close to Wilshire Blvd in Los Angeles, CA however I feel like I am repeadly discriminated against. I'm Latino and I have a job that pays $30,000 (which is through W-2) and make an average bonus per month of $1,250 (which is 1099....about $15,000 extra/yr)...since I'm a mortgage consultant assistant and I get paid extra per file that gets funded.

I have only one year's worth of credit and I have no collections, no late payments, nothing that would otherwise be bad on my credit report. CAN ANYONE HELP ME...I want to move into an apartment with my cat.

---I feel like I am discriminated against because I have several Korean friends who have no jobs, have no credit history and get apartments because of co-signers yet despite the fact that i have a good paying job, I have 1yr worht of credit with no derog + told them that my mother would co-sign and even yet I would 2x my security deposit they ref

There is a great deal of construction, of brand new homes, in my city. It doesn't matter what contractor is building them, or what part of town they are in, they all have one thing in common:

They all have a ridiculously small number of windows.

If you look at older homes, I'd say almost every room has at least one window. Two per room seems average for an older home.

These new homes, are often lacking a single window, in one, or more, entire exterior wall! It doesn't seem to matter if the house is big or small, they still lack windows. Not only does it look unappealing to the eye outdoors, but how are these homes supposed to get natural light or fresh air inside?

I suspect this trend is happening for two possible reasons: energy efficiency and construction cost.

In cases where energy efficiency is the *only* factor for having a lack of windows, why not simply build using energy efficient windows?

I hate new houses. They are so windowless, they might as well be tombs. Yuck.

I know she would have to be taken off the original mortgage and if I died 1st the loan would become due. She has a terminal lung disease and she feels she will go 1st and is determined to do it this way. What process should I take , is it advisable and what would happen if I would go before her. Any detailed info would be greatly appreciated.

I've seen many new home developements with vaulted ceilings, mini-vineyards, huge houses on little tiny lots...Why can't some developer built some homes for us regular people?
A normal sized home with plenty of closet space and a decent (not designer) kitchen that is set more than 3 feet from the neighbors house.
I realize that they need to make money, but more people could afford homes in this state if the builders weren't catering to people who already own 2 and 3 houses.

Your perspective/opinion is welcome.

we signed a contract to build a new home, thru a home contractor. We went thru their mortgage company to receive the discounts and warantees, etc. They gave me a price over the phone that we could afford. They sent their opinion letter to ok the building and go on from there. We went to the design center already, and THEN recieved the good faith estimate which is much more than she quoted us in the first place. I told her our debts and that we wanted a no down, no closing cost loan. but in the good faith estimate its about 11,000 for closing costs (we don't have and cannot get) and 200+ a month over what she told us on the phone. What do we do? We cannot afford this home now, and they've already sent the plans to the city... Can we get out of this? Can they sue us if we do?
