Renting & Real Estate - December 2006

We had a buyer for our house and the estate agent said she was a cash buyer but..... two weeks later it worked out she did not have enough money (we had already dropped once and could not afford to go any lower) thus we lost our buyer and the house we wanted to buy (it actually worked out the house we wanted had been under offer by the same estate agent all along to someone else!) We still had 1 weeks contract with this estate who had lied to us and within that week they found us another buyer, they said she was cash and not in chain, we accepted her offer and finally found another property with another estate agent (our offer on this property was only excepted because we had no chain) But a month down the line we have found out our second buyer is actually in a chain and the chain has broken down so we may lose this property too. All because the estate agent lied to us again, we have been left with the extra costs of valuations etc what are our ritghts, do we have any...

My roommate and I share an apartment, I'm not on the lease, she is. I gave her 30 days notice that I will be moving out within those 30 days. Does the rent and utilities have to be paid up in full, upon my departure, even though the rent isn't due til the 5th of next month. The utilities bills I don't have a problem paying there here already. But, by the time I leave, the rent wont be due til another 3 weeks. Like I told her that's her problem not mine. I'm only here for 2 weeks. Or should half of my rent be given to her( for those 2 weeks , that I'm here) . I'm trying to be fair about this. I wouldn't want no one to leave me hanging like this. She's beening such a but hole about everything now. Which i know she can't afford to live here once I move out. But things happen....

I am looking to buy property in Florida and spoke to a buyer broker who in fact is the agent for the same property I am interested in.
He sent me a Bure Broker agreement to sign which he asks for a non refundable and does not go to the closing of 295.00 and then proceeds to say that he wants a 3% commission at closing is this typical.

My ex GF of two years helped pay to have my house repainted and replace the water heater. We broke up 3 years ago and now she tells me I am responsible for the money. She was never charged rent or utilities when living there. I sold the house about a year ago. There was never any signed agreement or contract of any kind. These items were paid for with credit cards in her name only!

I have just put in an offer to purchase a house in downtown Winnipeg Manitoba, walking distance from a university and a large hospital. It is a 4 bedroom fixer upper, 1400sq ft, full unfinished basement and built in 1882. I purchased it for 32000$ and it needs about 10000$ work. Taxes are low, about 290$ a year. The tax assessment for the house is assessed at 35000$ for the house and 15000$ for the land. So it's assessed at 50000$ and I'm paying 32000$. I think I could rent it out for about 650 to 700$ a month plus utilities because it's so close to the school and 4 bedrooms. House is fairly solid but needs some cosmetic work. Floors, new doors, a couple windows and an addition that needs new everything. This is my first purchase and I intend to rent it out. I plan to eventually own several rental properties. Can anyone give me tips on anything to do with rentals, tenants and fix up work? Did I get a good deal? ANYTHING would be really appreciated!

As I've been doing homework on the loan process for a first-time mortage, it struck me as peculiar that it is recommended (required??) to bring six months of bank statements to your loan visit. This seems to me to be a little invasive on privacy, yet I'm not sure what the purpose is. What do they look for specifically? Is it to verify income, or do they actually look at every single item? What if I have multiple accounts/banks, should I bring six months worth of statements from each bank? Is this the same with bank loans as it is with mortageg brokers? Always, thanks for your answers!

I am thinking about investing in a rental home (I will be renting it out), but due to the fact that I am a novice, I do not know if I should go for a interest-only loan. What are the advantages/disadvantages?

Anything will help. Thanks.

There is a management fee of living in an apartment or a flat to be paid to a management company. If an apartment or a flat is rent out, who should be paid this management fee - the house owner or the tenant?

Our 120 unit condo association made a rule against having satellite dishes. In the rules it says "if you'd like cable programming you can contact Charter Communications". This company is the only cable provider in the area. Aside from that it's either DishNetwork, or DirectTV (both of which require dishes).

Charter is already taking heat in the area for maintaining a monopoly on the cable tv market.

Can our condo association legally maintain this rule?
