He is a drug addict. I actually have a restraing order on him. I tried to contact him about selling the house and he responded that he would burn the house down with me in it if I tried to sell. He has since got married to someone. There is already one lein on the property. He stopped paying his bills. I want to sell before something bad happens. I had to file bankruptcy 2 years ago. He started his own contruction business and I was funding it. I bought him an excavator etc. He lost everything because he bit off more than he could chew and wouldn't listen to me. I feel he should just sign the house over to me. Don't think he should have any right to the equity since my debt was $60,000 and I have been paying the mortgage, taxes, insurance by myself. I just want to move on. Don't want to be connected to him in any way anymore.

I am a leasing agent and I have to do market surveys, well I have some apartments do not want to give out information such as : how many apartments they have total what the break down is etc.... anyone have any unique ways of getting this info out of snooty properties besides calling and acting like a person looking because the questions I ask has nothing to do with someone just looking, such as occupancy.

I just bought a new home with a good down payment, and because it came from a relative, under market value. Together, it leaves me with a + difference of about $150K between the appraisal value and the balance on the mortgage. Now I'm considering getting an equity line for about 40-50K to do some renovations and pay high interest debt, but I wonder how mortage seasoning rules would apply in this sort of situations. Does seasoning affect strictly the percentage of the value you can borrow, or does it also affect the terms? In this case, I'm only interested in getting a line for partial value...does that make any difference?? Thanks!

the house from my name to protect it from creditors and in the event I ever need governmental assistance. I want my wife to be able to live in the house for the rest of her life. After her death I want the house to be split between my 3 children. I want my children to be able to pass the property to their children, after their deaths. How should I convey my property?

I'm thinking about saving and waiting to buy my first home so that I can have a very hefty down payment. But that would entail waiting until I'm around 35. I've gotten advice from relatives that that's rather late. ??

I have a year of car payments left. My apartment lease is up in May. I can pay the car off soon, or keep those savings for a downpayment on a condo/townhome. I'd essentially just delay paying off my car for 6-7 months to start owning my own place. Else I'd put the downpayment down and start paying down a condo/townhome and just make normal car payments.

Thorough advice is appreciated.

I am looking to move into a new house, selling my current one. I would like to get pre-approved for a mortgage so that I know how much house I can afford. Do I do that first and then hire a realtor so that I can tell him/her my price range? When do I get an appraisal? Is that something the realtor does? I'm really confused on the process.
