Renting & Real Estate - February 2007

I sold my home, part of contract was they were to buy me another home, give me so much cash, furnish fenced in yard(dogs) and garage. I moved from home(mistake) have none of other parts of agreement. Received small amount of cash, moving expenses. Don't understand how I got in this mess, my head was not working due to death of my husband. Is there a way to get out of mess? Opinions, please!

To make a long story short, five weeks ago we decided to go with a Mortgage broker for our new home purchase. One week before the closing date, the broker sent the application which was $1000 more to bring at close than the good faith estimate. We decided to go with a different mortgage company because we felt he was trying to be sneaky by sending us the application so late and did not include certain fees on the application (such as 2nd mortgage closing costs which he should have been fully aware of). We offered to pay the appraisal fee and use it with the new mortgage company, but he said it would take 1-2 days to give the report to us, therefore we would not be able to close on the house on the required date. He terminated the contract and sent an email saying he was going to take us to small claims court for the appraisal fee. New mortgage broker and appraisal guy said we are not liable for the fee, especially since the appraiser is not pressing for payment.Is this true?

My sister told me the land needs to be surveyed and there needs to be a termite inspection to make sure everything is ok in order to close. She told I signed papers the for closing and I know I did, she also told me it depends on the inspections if we close or not. Does my sister and the real estate agent have to disclose these things to me? I have 27 days until closing to find a place to live, seems like I am getting the run around.

He was trying to get the appliances because he said he was BREAKING even on the house. I do not care if someone made,lost,or broke even on a house. As far as the appliances are concerned, the agreement of sale OVERRIDES the disclosure.
I did agree to the price and I am getting whati want b/c NOW he just bought another house and has 2 mortgages.

My husband and I are buying our first home and we found a perfect one foreclosed and put our offer in a couple weeks ago. It's been taking the bank on average 1 week to respond to both our offer and counteroffer. Then when they were just about to respond to our 2nd offer the listing agent for the bank called my realtor and said that someone has just put in an offer (lower than ours) on the house. They were so slow in responding to us and all of a sudden they "know another offer even exists". Anyway the house has been on the market 90 days and no one has offered to buy it until us. (I say it was meant to be and it's "the house"). So I just think it's a little fishy and wondered if it's possible they are just trying to see how much money they can squeeze out of us? The listing agent said to put our best offer forward and the bank would chose the best one. So we went up about 3500$ from our previous counter and are waiting to see what the bank says. So can they fake a second offer??

I am new to this so please correct me if I am wrong here:

1. Foreclosure properties are sold by institutions such as banks when someone defaults (fails to pay) on the loan. They can be dirt cheap or still pretty pricey depending on how much of the loan had been paid off.

2. Foreclosures are not the same as Government Tax Properties.

3) What are Government Tax Properties? Do they cost as low as 300 bucks? And do you own the entire property after just paying 300 bucks - or whatever the cost is? That seems too cheap that I feel it is a scam.

4) Any other cheap ways of buying properties?

Hi!
Do any of you know of a REPUTABLE company that is willing to buy my timeshare or help me sell it? They are super hard to get "rid of", but I am offering a great deal. I've dealt with companies willing to help for a "hefty" fee. I'm not interested in such business ventures. Have any of you dealt with a good company or know someone who has? Please let me know. Thanks a lot!

If that is the case why is he asking us to move the closing date to April 1st? Because of The Capitol Gains Tax. Did not want to leave any appliances, not willing to budge on price and still claims that he is breaking even?
