Renting & Real Estate - October 2006

I'm trying to sell my house. My 3-month contract with my real estate agent is almost finished. In the past 3 months, the house has been shown 4 times. No buyer interest so far. Is this acceptable or should I find a new real estate agent?

We live in a "park" in Oregon and do not own the land, we rent it and most are closing as land prices have skyrocketed. There is no equity in the home as banks will not loan on it so it is impossible to sell, costs $10k to move and set up on property that I do not have the $$ to spend on. If I had to I would let it go back to the bank but would rather just give it to him as it is not worth anything anyway. Homes sold for $125-$150 new and now maybe $40 if one gets lucky to sell. My house is about 10 years old. Most people are letting them go back to the bank. But I heard the laws have changed with regard to that. I would rather just sign a quit claim deed IF it will absolve me of the debt. Was a bad investment obviously. My almost ex is 70 years old and if he dies would I be responsible for the debt? I am 50+ and dont want to have debt following me around the rest of my life. Is this possible for me?

It's in a very small community, in a sort of unusual location, not new, not falling apart. Kind of removed from cookie-cutter houses in suburbs easily comparable to other suburbs. There just isn't that much to compare it to.

Should I hire a real estate appraiser? Presumably, after the home inspector does his job -- but then, when do I make an offer?

What sort of contingencies would be wise to make if I made an offer prior to an inspection (see my other question on that if curious) and subsequent appraisal?

Would we run into problems if the appraisal came out notably higher than the asking price?

Etc. All insight welcome and appreciated.

I live in Florida, and my landlord just tried to enter my apartment without any notice of her coming. I was sleeping, so I didn't wake up until she couldn't get in with her key (the key didn't work but she tried it).

I am interested in making an offer on a house that is currently in forclosure and already has been deeded back to the bank. When I looked up the property taxes online to see how much they would cost me every year I noticed that the taxes for 2006 had never been paid and are delinquent. If I purchased this home would I have to pay these taxes?

My parents currently owe about 240k on their home. I would say it might sell for 300k if put on the market right now.
I want to take over the mortgage and also take over the title.
What is the best legal way to do this without having to pay tons of fees, taxes etc? My parents have owned this home for over 2 years so no worries about capital gains taxes.

I am a single female looking to find an apartment within commuting distance from Manhattan. I don't do well with roomates and do not want to spend more then $900 on rent. I'm looking for an area that would be safe. When I look on websites I see different towns or areas to live, but know very little about them. All and any help would be appreciated.

Thank-you!

I'm interested in moving to California and I was curious as to which part of the state would be cheapest to live in, while still having descent living standards (I don't want to live in a ghetto or anything!). I'm not opposed to small towns, but I wouldn't want to live in an extremely small town, say less than 5,000 people. I also think it'd be cool to live near the coast. If you have any suggestions, I'd appreciate it, thanks for your help!

I understand that there is a cost of living adjustment depending on where you live......but really whats up with that? In parts of California, a 2 bedroom condo costs somewhere in the neighborhood of 4-500 grand!!! Here in North Carolina.....the same 400 grand would buy just about any combination of beds and baths you could ever want and square footage is around 4 or 5 thousand sqft or more? ........What makes a person in Cali pay more for a house than someone in NC? A dollar is still a dollar no matter where you are in the US. Its like paying 10 dollars for a Happy meal in Cali and paying 3 dollars for the same in NC...... someone please educate me...........no offense to anyone in advance.....some folks take this stuff way to personally.

Recently I purchased a triple-decker home which is occupied 2/3 by my family. The 3rd apt. is currently under a verbal rental agreement through the end of the month (the end of the last Landlord's ownership). Tenant refuses to meet with me, the new owner to discuss a written rental agreement and has also informed me of their refusal to pay December rent...after receiving a 60-day warning of the upcoming sale as well as a 60-day warning for the new monthly rental amount (still hundres below market value). Any leagal advice? She refuses to sign an agreement and will not confirm a definite vacate date, as well as refuses to pay Dec. rent due to an issue in the verbal agreement with the PREVIOUS landlord. There are no security deposits involved, nor are there fees being asked of the tenant. What is my right in MA? Shall I contact a lawyer to resolve this? Any tips on how to handle on my own? Thank you in advance!! Wish me luck!

My credit sucks. My husband has no credit. We want either a land/home package or sight built house with 5-10 acres. The house cannot go in my name because of my credit. How can we do it in his name with no credit, and how does a 1st time homeowners loan work? Lower intrest? Lower payments? We are in Alabama if it helps.

I will be buying my parents' home. We'd like to ask the local realtor to handle all of the details. Should we offer a percentage of the sales price or a flat fee for this service? She won't need to list the house or negotiate anything and the financing won't be an issue, so three percent seems to be a bit much.
