Any advice about finding an intelligent and honest real estate agent? If you bought directly from an owner, how did you find the listing?

I have a friend who has a commercial property bequeath to him.I believe the tenant has a option to purchase clause in the lease but my friend 1.dosen't want to sell the property and 2. the set price is Below fair market value....very below....3.there is also a addition lot that he wants to sell also with the building if it has to sell because if he's "stuck
' with the very small lot, It really won't do any service to him and become not as valuable.My question is does he have to sell the property or can he renew the lease with a current fair market value and inclued the small lot?

I am moving to Indianapolis in a couple of months and I am starting law school in the fall. My husband and I are hoping to find a good, affordable place to live. I want two bedrooms, but I only really need one. We really want washer and dryer hookups in our apartment and some extra room (our furniture is huge). We don't need extra stuff like a pool, exercise room, etc. We want it to be quiet, maybe a duplex as opposed to a big complex (but a good complex would be fine, too). I don't want to spend more than $600/month.

My house is in forecloser and we are suppose to call them tommrow and ask about how much money we are suppose to pay them to get it out. The only thing is If we do get the house out of forecloser we might not be able to afford being able to keep the house later this year.

My husband goes on seasonal layoff each year and we always have really bad bill problems around this time. Also our light bill went from being 200$ to almost 400$ and when my husband actually works a full mth he only brings in 1.4k per mth maybe less.
We are talking about just letting the house go back to the bank and moving in with my mom who is planing to move from her house some time this year to an apartment because she doesn't like living out in the country.
The only thing is..Do you think we are doing the right thing? I have lived in this house going on 4yrs and that's alot of memories to deal with...
Do you think We are doing the right thing about trying to get out of this debt and starting fresh?

I'm interested in an end terraced house right next to a small former church. The church vestry forms part of the garden wall. Unfortunately, it is not being kept as a church as a firm of local builders have started work on it. How can I find out what the plans are? I am just concerned that something could go there which may be trouble, i.e. a probation centre etc. I think theyu may be flats, but any ideas on how I can find out please? This makes a huge impcat on my decision to purchase.

I need to move and my landlord has said that I need to pay out the lease (six months rent) to be able to move. I've heard of losing the deposit as the fee for breaking a lease, but I wasn't sure if there were laws around this. Paying six months rent seems a like a harsh penalty. Thanks.

I am in a bad financial situation and might not be able to pay rent in a few months. I can't move anywhere cheaper, as there isnl't any place cheaper. I have not had a lease in almost a year and liked the idea that I was somewhat free. My manager put a note on my door to renew my lease tomorrow. If not , my rent goes up 50 dollars a month and I will just be out on the street earlier. They are offereing me a one year lease for 10 dollars more than my current rent. The 10 dollars doesn;t make that much difference but I want a 6 month lease as I know I will probably end up breaking a 1 year lease due to financiall problems and I also want to be free to move if I have the opportunity. If I want a 6 month lease I have to pay the extra 50 dollars month (I can't afford this, nothing to cut out of my budget). I have to sign the lease tomorrow and will be trapped for a year. Is there any way that I can get out of it 6 months down the line if I can't pay the rent anymore?

He told me at the last minute that I could not move because the lease and checks I sent to him in the mail had not reached him yet. He told me he would call me back and never did. I understand about not having the signed lease yet, but I have to be out of my apartment now and he has left me homeless. Should I realize now that my new landlord is an unprofessional asshole who wouldn't even work with me and keep his agreement to let me move in this weekend? Or should I give him the benefit of the doubt and understand that he doesn't have a signed lease and therefore cannot let me move in? I am very frustrated and don't know what to do.

Hi, im selling my first home. Need a couple questions answered. This is my first home, its a town home. I called a realstate broker to work with me. He told me he charges 6% of what ever the home sells for and will not collect a dime until closing, and $195 service charge. He said he is going to evaluate the home for free. My question is, is his prices good, great or normal? Also is there anything i should be aware of, as far as information about that house that I should conceal. Like giving away TOO much information?
Any professionals out there that could give me some basic pointers and what to look out for would be much appreciated. Thanks

Is it true that there is a law in the state of New Jersey that says before you sell someone a house you must tell them if the house is haunted? Also, if someone died in the house do the buyes have to be made aware of this?

Only serious answers please!
I took out a HELOC 1 year ago and the appraisal showed up at 220k, i have a 1st mortage at 135k. At that time i had a 2nd at 45k. What they did was pd off my second, payed some cc debt and medical bills totaling out to be 70k. "the even persuaded me to do more and get cash but i did not want any cash" The goal was to prepare me to refinance my 1st mortage that is a ARM and has adjusted 4 pts.
Now i am ready to refinance my 12% 1st, passed the credit scoring part ect then had a appraiser comeout---well he came up with 185k. nice guy and explained it to me with me being concern with the value 220k last year. he looked into it for me and told me no way that should have been valued at 220k, if a apprasial would have been done then should have been 183k. I called the mortage company that holds both loans and they will do nothing I explained my situation about that appraisal, they told me they used a AVM and there must have been a glitch.

It seems like tearing down my house and rebuilding it just destroys the value in the structure. That's value that I could put into 'trading up' for a new place. But can't I afford much more house if I have it built myself? E.g., if I have a mortgage for 100,000 left in my mortgage (hypothetically) and can tear-down and rebuild for 400,000, then I owe 500,000 total. The kinds of homes I can get around here for that low are either townhomes, or very old, or both... (I don't know what my house is worth)

I appreciate any input!
