Renting & Real Estate - January 2007

We just put a bid on a home and wondered if there is a way to find out what the homeowners paid when they bought it.

Do they charge you extra for extra people? Do they have to approve every person? Do they ever approve extra people for a 1-br, etc.? What else should I know?

Hi I was wondering if anyone experienced could help me out. I just graduated with my MBA in business and I am very interested in become a property manager here in New York. I have very basic experience assisting my father on the side with some of his properties but I was wondering if anyone knows what steps I need to take in order to become a property manager and/or appeal to a potential employer for an assistant property management job. I currently have experience in unrelated fields like auto insurance claims in a call center, a couple of years of sales and retail experience.

Thanks.

anyone having major problems with landlords? Seems as if there are too many laws protecting them and no agencies to complain too......I constantly call, leave notes with my rent check when I mail it in but still get no call or response....the only time they call is when my check gets lost in the mail (which has happened twice in a year)....enough already.....we keep moving because they don't fix things but still demand rent....the last house we had the ac didn't work the entire summer (could not get it cooler than 85 degrees) we had ac companies and the electric company state that the ac/heat unit had major problems and the landlord still stated that there was no problem (and she was a real estate agent) someone help if they know of an agency we can complain to....these are all real estate agents that we are renting from and being ignored by...I am paying someone else's equity, shouldn't I expect perfection?????????

I have gone to a website before that tells what local homes have sold for if you put in your address it will tell you others in the area that are comparable to yours. Does anyone know what website or websites those are?

I had an eviction in another state a couple years ago for an apartment I was a co-lessee on. If this doesn't show up on my credit report, does this mean it wasn't reported? Other than me telling them, how would a potential new landlord find out about this?

She rang the doorbell, however my girlfriend didnt hear it. So the lady enters the apartment and sees our cat. We are not allowed to have animals but she came in without any notice at all. The door was locked and she used her key. She claims she sent a letter to do a fire inspection but we never got any notice. So can they do anything about us having a cat without permission? Since she came in without permission? Help would be greatly appreciated!!

I'm just wondering what a person should expect to pay if I shared a (halfway clean) 2 bedroom in Manhattan? Can a middle-class person expect to live decently in Manhattan, or should I live in an outer borough and commute? If so, what are good areas to live in the other boroughs at a reasonable price?

Our home has been on the market for over a year and we just have no luck selling it. We have had it listed with 2 different listing agents and had 0 offers thru them. In fact they never shown it once. We have tried selling it ourselves and have had quite a few calls on it, but we don't seem to be able to get anyone to walk through it. I know if we could get someone to go through it, we would get some offers. My wife has done some extensive work on the inside and it looks amazing. I never offer a price over the phone when they call because at this point I am willing to really negotiate a price. We owe 8k on it and would be willing to take a loss because we found a house we really want to buy. Any advice would be great, thanks

Hi all,

I was wondering if some people would mind supplying their opinions on strong real estate areas for growth potential. For example, what the Boston suburbs were 10-15 years ago. What are your opinions on areas in the country that will be "absorbed" into a city's price structure 10-15 years from now, but is affordable now? I've heard North Carolina and Viriginia are the prime spots right now...does anyone know what areas there fit this bill? Or anywhere else in the country? Love to hear your thoughts and ideas.
