I have a legal commercial kitchen with all the commercial kitchen equipment (commercial refrigerator, ovens the works), store room, entertaining area with all the enmities separate from the living area (30' x 40' outside building) I built this kitchen to bake and sell cakes and other goods from home. Now that we are planning to sell our house for a custom built home with another commercial kitchen separate from the living area. I was want to know if you where going to buy a home would you put an offer on a home like this. If I keep the commercial kitchen and not turn it back into a garage then all the equipment will go with the sale. I am contemplating changing this back into a 3 car garage. Just needing a general public’s opinion. To complete this kitchen it cost around 30 grand, wanted to know if I would get my money back if I decided to keep it a commercial kitchen or turn it back into a garage. Thanks for all your help.

when i moved into my first apartment with my girlfriend we were just dumb kids. they told us it was going to be a 6 month lease but after 6 months we were forced to stay because the lease said a year. i paid incredibly high @ 675 dollars a months (georgia) and really couldnt afford it anymore. i was told that if i wanted to get out of my lease i could but id have to pay Octobers rent and two months rent extra as a fee for breaking a lease. But i was told that if they got soeone in there within a few weeks ( so that they lost no money) i would not be charged and would be given my 675 for October back and owe no more money. they got somebody in 2 days later and then said they werent giving me my money back and i had to pay still. they then said that under the lease i still owed them money. after reviewing the lease i found out the landlord never signed it. After bringing this up the new landlord signed it, even dating it. is it valid if the lease was signed 2 months after i moved out?

I very upset with my mortgage company. 1 year ago they gave me a courtsey call telling me i have 45k in equity in my home. They threw me an offer to cut my bills down ect. I went into talk to them at a local office and they spelled every thing ourt My 1st loan is 140k on a adjustable plan. They were telling me to roll in my car loans, credit cards and student loan to cut monthy payments total as 70k. They valued my property at 220,000 did not send our a appraser, they also told me that it would help my credit score substantually doing this so i could refinance my 1st. Now my 1st adjusted from 5.7% to 9.22% with payments increase HUGE. I called Country Wide to dicuss refinancing. They looked it up and it did show my Credit Score did go up to 680. and yes we are ready to work with you. They sent a appraser our 300 dollars extra out of my pocket and they apprased the property at 185k, leaving me backwards 35k. they then told me they could not do anything.

My husband and I are thinking of moving into a different house every six months or so. Completely redoing it in our free time while we live there, then selling it for a profit of hopefully around $30,000 or more. We hope to do this only for 5 years. In the end we hope to have enough money to buy a house for us to live in permanently with cash. And to have another $100,000-$150,000 to invest in other real estate. We have 3 young kids right now. We have done one house remodel before that we only made like $10,000 off of. And one we are in the middle of right now that we hope to make $25,000 to $35,000 off of. Will moving so much be too hard on our family, even if the kids are able to stay at the same school throughout the moves? Is this a reasonable goal and financial plan for us to have?

I dont want to get scammed into taking a mortgage I dont need. Can a mortgage expert enlighten me on mortgages. i would also like to hear the laymans views as well. How many types are out there; Pros and cons. I just heard of an inerest only but the only sense I can make from it is that there is no principal on the loan. Does that mean I would have to take another mortgage on the principal. What a balloon mortgage? Sounds like something that would blow up if I'm not careful. Once I decide on the mortgage that would best suite me do I then look for a bank. I dont want 5 different bank looking into my credit report. Can I run my own and hand each one a copy? What are the pros and con of using a bank instead of a mortgage boker and vice versa.

I'm in my second year as Computer Scientist and am bored with my course. It involves sitting through lectures that don't interest me any more, they're too nitty-gritty. Also its not really that useful to what I want to become, a property developer. Would you recommend I start a job as an Estate Agent and eventually buy and develop small properties working my way up to larger ones, continue with my course at uni and do that afterwards or something completely different?

Also does anyone have any advice about the best way to understand property? Is a Property Negotiator the best job to take on that would help me learn how to develop properties further down the line?

Your help as soon as possible would be much appreciated as I will probably decide on whether to drop my course within a weeks time.

Cheers,
Adam.

i was renting in CA in 2006. single family home. the AC unit cause a spark in the attic and burnt down my entire house. my cat and dog died in fire.
the official fire report states fire was started by AC, it also states we've made several complaints to landlord about weird electrical outages in various parts of the house (he never took any action to fix it). but in the fire report, he says he has fixed it.
and now, the whole house is non-repairable.
we didn't have renters insurance, but landlord has insurance on the house. i think he's fighing insurance for his share of the loss (the ttl loss is around $800,000). he has not even made an attempt to call us since the fire happened 3 months ago.
i want to know if we have any hope of getting our losses back by getting legal action again landlord for unsafe living for past year. i just want to get some money so i can start out new again.
thanks for your input in advance.

A family member of mine have been living in a 1 bedroom home of mines for 3 years rent free. Well, starting 2007 I'm going to start charging her rent. What's a decent price? I was thinking $100/month. The house isn't that big either. But it has 1 bedroom, a tiny kitchen, full bath, & a small living area.

In addition she's not making that much money. BUT she's the only one living there. I also make her pay the taxes.

I am interested in deleting my current escrow account. When I called my mortgage company to delete it, they told me that according to Illinois State Law, the LTV (Loan to Value) had to be less than 75%. They base this percentage on my current loan balance divided by my Original loan balance. I thought it would be my loan balance divided by the current appraised value of my home. I need help! Is this true? Am I stuck with my escrow account??

Thank you!

What kind of documents are needed for protection when you lease with option to buy or rent to own a house if you are the seller? Also I heard with the lease to own option part of what the renter pays goes toward the down payment when they purchase it? How does that work? Do you have to save that portion of the money back or do they just tell the loan company the asking price and the price thats already been paid? I'm trying to get clear in my mind just how these to options operate.....Thanks in advance for any answers you may have!

I recently had to move into a one bedroom apartment with my daughter, due to certain circumstances. I found out the other day that I am pregnant, and need to really find a bigger place before the baby is born, but the lease won't be up. How do I do this without getting in trouble? Not entirely sure on what to do!
