Renting & Real Estate - October 2006

2006-10-05 06:36:34 · 4 answers · asked by Brianna 2

My girlfriend moved into an apartment with her friend, without looking at the lease (yes, i know she is stupid). Now she is worried she is paying the full rent for both occupants, not just her share (half).

The other roomate will not give her the name or phone number of the landlord, as he does not want her to contact the landlord (probably because he is scamming her).

How can i go around this roomate and find the landlord's name myself? Can i call the county office or something? Which office? Would it be possible to look up the deed to the building, and see whose name is listed as the owner? This is public information, right?

Thank you in advance.

My wife and I are currently locked into our jobs until 2012 and we want out. Is there anything that we can do now that would start us off in real estate investing when the time comes? We want to be able to do the fixer-upper work ourselves, mostly because we love doing the handy work. We both have average credit ratings, in the low 600s, and we don't have a whole lot of equity in our current house to bother with. Does anyone have advice that can help us get started? Thanks.

We want a house because of a new baby coming. Our rent is $580 a month for 500 or so square feet, is that a bad deal? How can we break the lease. The lease says if we do we must pay 200 plus the 580 until it is rented out. Would it be more worth it to get a house?

Right i am in the process of buying my second house, i have been with my fiancee for 3 years. Now this house is coming from my wages and savingsand the house we are selling has all been out of my pocket apart from 3k max over the 2 years we lived there. My girlfriend wants to be on the deeds of the new house but i am afraid of being ripped off, its happened before to me you see, i have said i will add her when we get married but she wants to be on them when we exchange contracts, is there anything i can do to put her on the deeds but make it so she isnt entitled to half as she wont be contributing financially, i wouldnt mind if it was only 100k or so but its a £350K house so i have a lot to lose.

We are looking to purchase our first home in the Denver area in about a year. We both have bad/old credit(both of our credit scores are below 600) Our income will be around 75k(I am finshing up nursing shool)

We are trying to see if this is even possible or if we should just be content renting for several more years.

We are expecting a higher interset rate. I have heard of "B loans" & "sub prime lenders" and have been trying to look into them.

We are trying to decide if we should just file bankruptcy now and see if our credit gets better or if it is possible to get a loan?

Will we need 20% down with this bad of credit, or can filing bankruptcy help that?

I'm looking to move to Colorado from California and I'm trying to find the official MLS Listing website for this state. In Southern California we have www.imrmls.com. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Looking for areas like Denver, Aurora and Colorado Springs. I know for new homes I can search in homebuilders.com, but how about resale homes?

is your landlord allowed into a rented property without the tenants permission? I live in Colorado if that makes a difference

I heard (by value at least) that it is the Salvation Army, followed by the Catholic Church. The second, I believe. The first seems less likely.

I sold some property, they paid off the existing loan and I financed the rest for $628.00 monthly at 8% for 5 years. This is all I have, I am only working part-time. I need a home for my children, I do not want to waste the money on rent. Is there any grants for me or any assistance available for me in Oklahoma

I understand that commercial properties can allocate more towards building, and apartments a little less. Just want to know a reasonable range for both. Are downtown high rises even more heavily weighted towards building value?

I have seen a few episodes of Million Dollar Listing on Bravo. The agents there live the high life and have just as much drama in each and every deal. It makes me want to get into real estate. Has your experience as an agent brought you success, fortune, or tons of headaches? I want to know your side. And please include your market area. Thanks.
