yes it's a d r horton house, i heard they have a great reputation, my question is: my wife and i are young and i'm going directly through d r horton, i didn't get a realtor, is that ok, or do i have to have a realtor? what are things i should really know as a first time buyer? I guess my main concern is getting screwed over by the sales person, any suggestions?

I am in the process of moving out of a rental house. Yesterday I noticed the corner of the wall paper in one room was peeling and noticed behind it was mold! It freaked me out so I pulled all the wall paper down (it was old and ugly anyways) and there was mold all over the bottom of the wall! I think someone intentionally tried to cover up the mold with the wall paper because it was the only room in the house that had wall paper. My son has asthma and has been hospitalized 2 times since we have lived in the house and my husband is constantly sick with respritory problems. Since we are moving out next week I am concerned that the rental company may try to cover it again and the next renters could get seriously sick. What do I do? is there a government agency I can contact?

We have a good chunk of money in a savings account and may need to sell our house within a year. What will get a better return on our money? Putting the money down on the principle of the mortgage or finishing the basement, paving the driveway and installing A/C?

I listed my home for sale the end of October of 2006. We got a contract on it the end of January, but now it fell through. My wife and I decided that it isn't worth the hassle to show the house again (too hard on the kids) and that we want to just add a room on to our existing home.

We signed a standard listing agreement with this realtor until May of 2007.

If we decide to request to cancel the listing, what will we owe financially to the realtor?

About two years ago my sister and I bought a house together to get us on the ladder, we have done the house up and now are ready to move our seperate ways with our profit. She is moving in with her boyfriend but I have fallen in love with the cottage and want to stay. How do I go about buying her out? If I cant afford the mortage on my own (which I wont be able to) my mums boyfriend is going to come in with me so I dont lose the house and as an investment for him (not live there) but act as a silent partner, how does that work? can someone give me advice on what I do next? how to get the ball rolling?

Currently I'm in the process of buying a home / rental house in Michigan, and would like to know in general what extra requirements Section 8 inspection will need for the process to go smootly.

The seller is very motivated and will assist in the upgrades if any, the house has passed Safety inspection and up to state codes, but my Agent informed me of Section 8 Laws / Articles, since the house is in process I'm unable to order the Section 8 Inspection until the documents are cleared Title/ deed, etc.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

P.S. I'm aware of the some ups and downs of Section 8, however there is a high demand for section 8 properties in this area and I've already started my screening process and almost everyone is asking if the house is approved by Section 8. I just want to be preapproved to ensure I've covered all the basics.

I been research multi family unit and I am thinking of buying one for investment purposes (it would be my first property). I plan to occupy one of the units and then rent the other unit out. I was taking to a friend and he recommended I put the property under an LLC (meaning I have to create one and not even sure how to go about doing) to avoid any kind of lawsuits from tenants. Any thoughts on this, should I put the property in an LLC?

Am looking at 4units or less

Thanks so much for your answers

Specifically i would like to know why it is different than the principle balance, i can only expect it will be higher than the principle balance? But generally speaking how much higher? I know i will be contacting my bank to find out the exact amount, so please dont suggest that. In the meantime i would just like to learn some general information payoff balances, what economic impact paying off my loan has on the financial institution, and how they can justify asking for a different amount to pay off the loan.
