Is it possible to finance a parcel of land (2-5 acres) with no structures on it. Example: buy land now that I intend to build a home on within the next 10 years. Would it be a mortgage or classified as a different type of loan?

I financed with my builder and they out and out told me that they WOULD sell my mortgage, do I have to wait any amount of time to try to refinance? I've made two months worth of payments and been in the house for three, but I know they will sell a % of their loans and I'm thinking I'd rather choose who has my loan then let them sell it to someone who I don't know. Opinions? Please?

How is mortgage insurance determined? Is it a flat fee, a percent of the sales price, a percent of the mortgage? I know PMI will be applied if a down payment of less than 20% is made, but how is the cost of it determined?

It costs 160k with two units, each 900/month rent. I may live in one side. I can easily put 10% down with money for repairs. It appears to be ok structurally but could use a lot of little things. It is currently unoccupied but was half occupied until a couple days ago. Should I buy it? Will it be to much work?

I want to buy a house but everything is my price range is run down and needs lots of work or is too small. Are there people or places out there that can help me with buying a house? I dont know who or what that may be but I dont want to rent forever and I dont want to buy something that I cannot afford. Im young so I could maybe try a 40 or 50 year mortgage but only if I can have a fixed interest rate. Anyone have any advice for me?

I am supposed to move into a house in Indiana but the woman hasn't moved out yet. She gave 30 days notice to the landlord, which is already up. He told me that since he has her 30 day notice in writing, that he doesn't have to go to court to evict her, but I told her to be careful as he might get in trouble. I know a landlord can't just kick someone out even if they haven't paid rent, but this might be a different situation.


Can anyone find anything that says if the eviction proceedings are different or not if the tenant gives 30 day notice in writing but doesn't move out, for Indiana?


Thanks.

Ok I need to know if there are any quirks to getting out of an apartment lease besides causing yourself to be evicted (which is not an option for me) and paying rent till the lease is up! The place I was living at is a total dump (still on the lease there)! I lived there for a short period of time... It is overpriced, ghetto, I had bugs, we had a fire in the underground parking garage, issues with the hot water heater, drug dealers, etc! Its been a total mess! My bf and I were both living there and now we both stay at my moms and he pays rent there still because we cant get out of the lease! The apartment managers are crooks... They will keep your deposit no matter what and try to claim that they lost your resignation letter! Ive tried contacting a lawyer for a free consultation and they told me Im more or less stuck! I just dont want to accept that as my only option since that place is a scam and a sh*thole! So anyone have an words of wisdom for my situation?

Dear All, I've lived in my current leased apartment for almost 4 years. I'm going to move to another apartment within the same community/management in a few days. The apartment leasing office is saying they'll conduct a "pre-inspection" of my current apartment and then give me the approval to move into the new apartment since it's an internal transfer. While my current apartment is in a good condition (e.g., nothing is broken or damaged), the carpet has a stain (almost 4 inches in diameter) on it that wouldn't go. I believe the apartment folks won't charge me for this wear and tear, given I've stayed in it for almost 4 years. What do they usually charge for and how? Do they deduct the amount from my security deposit or ask me to pay more? Any thoughts?

Just found out my wife has been cheating on me, and I'll be getting a divorce. Here's the situation: We just refinanced our home in November and have virtually no equity in it. Since the housing market has turned, it's unlikely that we'd get what it appraised for in a sale. So what are my options? If we both stop paying the two mortgages, it will go into foreclosure, but I'm unclear what would happen after that. Could someone please explain?

Hi guys, I was wondering if any of you had experience with this. I'm intending to sublet my apartment for a year. I don't want to use a broker. I have a great couple who want to take the place. They have great jobs etc. What is the procedure though? I should ask for a security deposit, right? They move-in date would be January 20th. Should they pay the security deposit AND the first month's rent upfront before I give them keys and sign the lease? Should I accept a personal check for this or should I ask for a money order, cashier's check or cash for the initial upfront payment?

This is a "legal" sublet and I have authority to sublet my place.

I went through a lot of trouble with this particular apartment I was planning on moving into but I went tthrough it and I moved in on New year's eve. Now, I'm finding out that the shower will only have enough hot water for 5 minutes so after 5 minutes the water gets cool instead of hot. I called the landlord and he said it's because it's tankless so it only last 5 minutes and I have to take a quick shower. I asked him if he can install a water heater and he said no. He's not going to waste $1000 to install just for me. I commented that the other unit has it and he said that the other unit's tankless heater was broken so he had to replace it.

Anyhow, I don’t think I can stand taking 5 minutes hot shower since I live in MA. What are my options? Can I sue him and make him install the heater or can I sue him and get back my first and last month rent, my moving expenses, payment for the hours I spent cleaning, and for moving cost to another location? Or am I out of luck...
