I'm looking to buy a house but am not sure if I'm getting a deal or if I'd be paying too much. Does anyone know how I can find out how much a house is worth or appraised for? Thanks

Several years ago my husband and I bought a new van and traded in the old car. At the financial part, we were told our credit was excellent. BUT the most we'd ever borrowed was a small amount (9,000), so we had to pay a higher interest rate. Our van was around 18,000. So now we are moving and hoping to buy a house after our move. Will the same frustration happen with a house mortgage? We've tried really hard to build and keep excellent credit. It makes me sick to know we could be penalized yet again. So what do you think? Should the morgage interest rate reflect our good credit or will we get a lower rating yet again because we've not borrowed thousands upon thousands of dollars (looking to buy a house that is 90k-130k).

2 months ago, I purchased a condo in an upscale building in the center of a fast growing suburban city. the building has 340, 3-year old units that were apartments and the builder is renovating and converting to condos. about a month ago, the builder abruptly took the remaining 280 or so units off the market and is re-renting them for for leases that are up to a year. the Homeowner's dues are very high and I was expecting a luxury, resort community run by the homeowners, not a renters paradise controlled indefinitely by the builder. do I have any recourse in this situation? the homeowners are a minority and there is now no end in sight.

I am suing a real estate agent. My attorney has filed papers with the superieor court in Los Angeles. He told me they have 30 days to respond. It's been about 40 days now. What happens if there is no response? We have not made any financial claim, just stated the damages in general. Although not in the papers we filed the loss is a few hundred thousand. We have tons of proof of this loss. My atty has been out of town or something, I have not been able to get a hold of him so I wanted to know from someone else.
Sometimes I ask stupid questions to my atty ( I feel) so here is a forum I can feel safe.
The other question I have is: Let's say the award is 200k for the damage cauesed by this agent We win. Since our agreement is 25% of the case does he increase the damages 25% to include this fee (hence a $225k award). Seems right as I can't fix the building with 175k. Is this just tacked on to the 'damages' bill?
Thanks all !

My mother (who owns her house outright) is thinking of buying a smaller house down the street. In the meantime, the lovely couple next door who are now renting their house have expressed interest in buying it from my mom on contract. I am just confused as to the duration that this contract could be? Does this mean that they can basically draw up an agreement for 30 years like they would if they went through a bank for a certain amount of interest? Is it like a rent to own situation? My mom keeps the title until the house is paid off and if 10 years down the road, they decide to move...what happens to their money? Anyway, any insight into this kind of sale would be great. My mom doesn't need to sell her house to buy the other one and she thinks that this "contract" sale would be good as she would be getting interest every month?

I'm trying to find out if a landlord is required to regularly have someone come to the properties they own (residential) to exterminate for bugs or any other type of pests. I'm curious because I've lived here 5 years and the only time they ever did what they called "exterminate" was 3 yrs. ago when they came in and set those ugly little ant/roach motel things in a few corners of some of the rooms. When I asked the property manager, they stated that this complex is clean and they have no need to spray. I don't have a problem with bugs yet, however, I have some neighbors that moved in about 5 months ago and they appear to be lacking in personal care, housekeeping skills, and hygiene. I'm concerned it may become a problem pretty soon if it isn't sprayed on a regular basis. Anyone know if there are regulations for this?

My friend (with poor credit history and with poor judgement, IMHO) is asking me to rent an apartment in my name and sublet it to him. I want to help out, but I don't want to get myself in trouble. Besides making sure that sublet is allowed by the landlord, what esle should I do to make sure I don't get myself in trouble? What kind of possible trouble is there? (He doesn't do drugs and stuff like that.)
My situation: I do not want that apartment at all (if he were to back out in the middle of a lease agreement), but I will want to rent something else for myself in the nearest year. Is there such thing as a limit of how many apartment one can rent in their name? I don't have enough income to support two apartments, but I have enough to support one.
