Renting & Real Estate - November 2006

I want to get the POA document notraized in US so that I can send it to India where my POA (my mom) can get it registered and can sign the purchase agreement of the apartment which I am buying from the builder. The builder has requested to sign the Purchase agreement ASAP.

My problem is, I have heard that I SHOULD NOT get it notarized from the public notary NOR from the Consulate. It did sould weird to me but thats what I came to know.

So, anyone out there can you please help me with this , as to from whom I need to get this POA document notarized??

Any help will be highly appreciated FOLKS.....

Thanks,

Seeker

Husband and I moved into our house a little less than 5 years ago. Thinking of selling but don't really have the money to fix it up. We have lots of mildew and grout in the shower area, tile in one of the bathrooms is starting to come up, security gate on front door is shorter than the actual size of the front door>STUPID HOME DEPOT! and we have a crack in the master bedroom's mirror coset door! Landscaping great in the front, backyard not so great but good enough. Carpet has major stains due to my rambunctious toddler! What do I do??

My husband got a new job on the other side of town and due to all the driving he'll be doing, we're looking to sell our home and move into my sister's house for awhile till we find our next home as well as save and get our credit scores up!! Anyway, there's quite a bit of houses on the market here in my neighborhood and selling ours looks like it may take awhile. The thing is I am in my 2nd trimester of pregnancy, up to my eyeballs in monthly bills, and the ARM on our mortgage loan has expired. Refinancing would be stupid because of our wanting to sell so to save a lil bit of money, would it be wise to move into my sister's sooner and shut off some of the utilities...i.e. gas, alarm, water, cable. Those bills alone are almost $600 at times! (Besides, I heard moving most of your stuff/clutter is better for potential buyers, that way they have a better view of the house.)

I have a small farm---120 acres. It is in an area that is appreciating in land value. I will likely need at least a portion of it's value for my retirement. I have six children. Of these six, one son is very interested in agriculture. I want to be a partner with him on this farm, but I also want to be fair with my other children when it is time for me to, well die. I'm sure other types of businesses have had similar situations. I realize that I will need to use a lawyer to draw things up but I want to have somewhat of an idea of how I might go about this. Thank-you

Verbal Contracts and Real Estate Question. State: CA . Seems like Real estate is the exception to verbal contracts being valid. But what about a witnessed and very simple "We accept" ... no contract conditions, changes, additions. It seems like there is nothing that is unclear about it ... and it was a fair offer at a fair price. Just could not be executed on paper over a holiday weekend. Do I have a case for a "Lis Pendence" on the property for the party breaking it off. We have supporting emails indicating the acceptence was real (from the relo company involved as an intermediary).. They just got a better offer while we were in the middle of paperwork to complete and bailed on our offer to chase the better one.

All the sights that I see want money for the listings or they do a free trial. Does anyone know how I can get the listings free. I thought that info was supposed to be public.

Jones' construction of an 8-foot fence around his property will block his neighbor Jacobi's scenic view, though if it were only a 6 foot fence it would not. If Jacobi values his view at $1000 and Jones values the extra 2 feet of fence at $500, then a possible resolution is that

a.Jacobi makes a side payment to Jones of $750 not to build the fence so high.

b.Jacobi makes a side payment to Jones of less than $500 not to build the fence so high.

c.Jones makes a side payment of $750 to Jacobi to live with the fence.

d.Jones makes a side payment of over $1000 to Jacobi to live with the fence.

someone close to you died and you couldn't face the move on the day of the funeral (that was what was expected for me to do) and after the trauma..then came the problem that you couldn't afford to move to that area as it was going to be expensive with funeral expenses adding to the problem.. would you condemn me for pulling out, even though you found an alternative move and the other person could still have the same house... it meant a multi house exchange but all would get what they wanted.. and I would have gotten an easier to maintain house that was affordable.. what would you do.. condemn me or help me?..

I lost over a thousand pounds because I had to pay the removers and for the new carpets that i didn't have in the end.. the other person didn't lose anything.. no cost at all.

Mold-obviously. But how old/new should the roof be? What's better gas heat or electric heat? Do appliances usually convey or is that the exception to the rule? Cheapest house on block right? Oh and what exactly is HVAC? Any tips will be appreciated and everyone is invited to my house for a party when I move in!

I am trying to buy a condo from a Real Estate company and they are offering me $50 thousand cash back. Is this legal?
The condo is going for $700,000 and they will give me $50,000 back at the close of escrow
I understand that it is my $50,000 that they are giving me, but this sounds a little fishy.
Should I be concerned, and is this deal on the level?
Thank you for your time,
Geoff

We are getting ready to lease (with option to buy ) our house. We are going to draw up a contract and have it signed in front of a notary. We have a list of things we are going to include in it, but wanted to make sure we didn't over look something important. Does anyone have any suggestions of things that should be included in it?

My question is if you have a tenant in New York, are you responsible for their washing machine defects in the apartment or should the tenant pay for the servicing and repairs.

Is it possible for her to buy a house without being a US resident/ legal immigrant?
