I own a paid off 120-140k house. My credit score is 640 and quickly improving. I rent my house out and have an apartment but my lease expires in a month. My apartment costs 600 a month for a studio. Ive never been late ect. I found a condo with low fees monthly and its only 55k for a 2br 1 1/2 bath. What is the chances I can get a home equity loan for this condo with a 6-7% intrest rate? Should I go with a home equity loan or a totally new mortgage on the condo itself? The home equity loan has no closing cost while a mortgage will be around 3k in closing. I just dont want a home equity loan with more than 7% intrest. Anything more than that is ridiculous! Can I get it?

I want to buy another home, move, & then sell my old home. Are there ways to finance the new home using the equity of the old home to secure the loan?

The situation: Mr. Smith (the Buyer) hires Buyer Agent to represent and find homes for purchase. Buyer Agent finds home for Mr. Smith which is offering an additional $1,000 commission above the typical 3% to the Buyer Agent. Should the Buyer Agent disclose to Mr. Smith that he was offered the bonus?

Issue here is whether a conflict of interest exists or if Buyer Agent is free to negotiate with the builder for his/her commission without any notification to Mr. Smith.

What should Buyer Agent ideally do here?

I recognize that the typical commission nationally is 6% and paid to the seller's agent. I'm curious what this amount is in Minnesota, specifically in Minneapolis.

I bought a "fixer upper" house 2-1/2 years ago for $60,000. I put $20,000 into it using various credit cards with 0% intro rates that are or about to run out. Meaning I will be paying a lot of interest if I dont do something in the next few months. The house now appraises at $145,000 so thats a potential profit of $65,000 that I can make. Plus I wont have to pay any capital gains on my profit because it was my primary residence for 2+ years. I am also on a 5/1 ARM loan because of the fact that I did not plan on living in this area that long.

I wouldnt mind staying in the house but I want to buy another property to rent out but dont have any additional funds to do so. Do you think it is better to sell of this house and pay off the debts and start with a clean slate? Refinance and pay off the credit cards and make a down payment on a rental house? or get a line of credit to pay off credit cards and make a down payment on a rental house?

Im a real estate agent and I have other real estate agent friends in other states and we came upon an idea to offer all of our potential customers discounts/rebates for using us to buy or sell a home versus other agents. Putting an ad in the yellow pages for example. Is this illegal in any state? Does anyone know? Also there are online companies that will market my services if I pay them a closing cost once I complete the deal, does anyone know whether that would be considered a referral and If we could get in trouble for that in some states or is that ok since they are calling it a closing cost and its not a percentage of my commission. Thank s

I recently applied for a mortgage loan and the credit scores they pulled were all different than the ones I pulled less than a week before. One score was 31 points lower and another 20 points higher. Why is that?

I have 3 questions:

1. Both he and I are on the lease. We both pay our portions of the rent separately every month. I have one room and he has the other. Does this mean that i'm liable to pay the entire rent until my landlord finds another tenant or I sublet the second bedroom? The lease doesn't expire for a couple of months.

2. He hasn't given us a 30 day notice; in fact, the landlord heard of his departure from me. Can he be sued or does this depend on the terms of the lease? I currently reside in Pennsylvania.

3. He is taking his refrigerator with him. Is the landlord supposed to provide one in the first place?
