We both make combined 8,000 monthly, with credit scores in 700's. Hoping to get lowest rate, lowest monthly payments, and no $ out of pocket. What is the best loan for this? Thanks!

Hi, I am planning to take a home mortage out and it is so confusing when you talk to different brokers , it almost seems that they get us in one way or the other like PMI, points, mortgage rate, even .25% would make a huge difference on the mortgage payment over the years. Can anybody suggest what things to look out when talking to a banker/broker. Please suggest some good sites or good banks to go to if you had any prior experiene. Thank you.

My case won at the District Justice's office, and I'm looking into collection agencies to collect the $1700.00 I am owed. Looking online, I can't tell which are legitimate or may be a scam. I'm also looking, obviously, to get the most amount of money back.
Has anyone been in this situation? I need the name of a decent agency.

Thanks.

ok we both are in our 30s and soon to be married.i make about 50k and he makes about 80k.the problem is he has a huge debt from his divorce(28k)and a large child support payment to his exwife.between these 2 things he can hardly make his share(half of our bills) of the rent/house bills with is total $900 a mon.if we bought a house our mortgage alone would be about $1100 each than tack on food,electric,cable ect.his child support is not going away but i feel he should pay off his debt 1st before we get into a house.he feels we are just throwing money away renting and need to buy a house soon as possible as a house would give us a huge tax brake.if we buy a house now i would have to pay all the closing costs,down payment as my bf has no money put away.i don't mind that part i'm just afraid after i do that we would have a problem making the monthly payments and would lose the house.is this worth the great tax break my bf talked about or would u wait till he had more money put away?

Every home you look at on GA realtor web sites never reports the square footage of the homes they list. Why? What law covers this omission?

I recently graduate from college and thinking about purchasing my first real estate property. At first I was looking at single-family homes and town homes, but now I am thinking that a multi unit might be a better investment. I am making around $60K and looking at possible investment. My mind-set is that with a multi unit I can live on one of the apartment and rent out the rest to tents. Bases on my calculation and the kind of property I buy (condition and location) I can have zero percent vacancy within a short period and the income would cover all my expenses, and I would be pretty much be living there for free take home any additional income. Thanks a lot for your inputs in advance.

The only cons I have thought of are maintenance cost . Unplanned, emergency maintenance cost is my only worry, because if something major happens to the building, then I might not have the huge amount of money to repair. I appreciate all the inputs I can get

If you are facing a foreclosure and you owe more than your house is worth, does trying to sell it help? Knowing you won't get the amount that you owe, is it even worth putting it on the market? The lender(s) and borrower have already communicated, but financial situations are not getting any better and a foreclosure is right around the corner. No family to borrow from, none of us have any $$$ to lend. So what's a person to do? Just let foreclosure happen?

My married friends and I are considering buying a house together, to be used as our primary residence (not as an investment property). We have somewhat disparate credit (I have a 700 FICO but less income and they have a 625 FICO but better income). They are very trustworthy and longtime friends, so the credit issue isn't a concern. What would be the best option for a real estate partnership?
