I expect to purchase a home in the next 6-8 months and have been reading up on buying and mortgages, but just realized I might run into a challenge:
1) I have excellent credit (805),
2) I have approx. 100K in savings, but
3) I've been doing temp work for the last year and a half, during which time I've been living w/ my parents. Prior to that I was most recently making ~55K/yr. and had been paying rent of over 1500/month in Manhattan. I'll be receiving an offer of a permanent position at the employer I've been with for the last 6 months, and have been trying to come up with a salary range adequate to cover a mortgage in my area, but then realized - will my recent temp history be a big problem? How long of a permanent work history is recommended to get a good rate?
After 13 yrs of paying rent, I refuse to do so anymore, and wonder if I should be looking at mobile homes instead of property I thought might be in my range (200K-250K)!
Many thanks for any help.

I moved out of my apartment and did a move-out inspection. There was no damage noted to the carpet or that there was a smell in the apartment. Now my landlord wants me to pay a lot of money because they put new carpet in because they said it smelled like my dog. They even did a black light test. Also they did not inform me that there was a problem before they tore the old carpet out. Can they do this legally?

Instead of moving into a cheaper home, I thought about refinancing for interest only. We have lived in the home for 2 years, but have over 65K worth of equity already.

It is a two bedroom house, but the tenant pays a minimum rent, for over 20 years, and the landlord just wants to increase the rent with new tenants. He is an very greedy, and mentaly ill person. He trys to belittle people, so they fear him. It makes him feel supurior.

I am a Real Estate Appraiser and I am thinking of starting a company where I would e-mail subscribers sales of properties in their neighborhood for a small fee. If there was a company that did this would you subscribe? My target market would be "For sale by owner" clients and also buyers that were interested in making an offer on a property. It would include all sales of properties in the neighborhood for a specificied amount of time.

My co-worker and good friend of mine is trying to sale his home. The home is nice, has 3-4 bedrooms and 2700 square feet. The location of the home is within the city limits and in a nice neighborhhod. His neighbor (lives across the street) has a pole with a confederate flag in the yard which he feel is shunning possible buyers away. My co-worker has even gone down on the asking price because he noticed the facial expressions when possible buyers from all ethnicities (black, white, mexican etc.) when they look across the street. I told him to try to rent it out because his house is way more then what he is asking for it. But he is eager to sell it for he is having another home built. What do you recommend that he do in a case like this?

Just two days ago we had our first murder in our town. It happened at my apartment complex but not in my building. Before I knew it was a homicide I went to the office to turn in my rent and asked about the cop sitting out by a building. They said that that while the parents are away the kids caused mischief. I get to work an hour later and see on the news that its a murder. I really don't appreciate being lied to by management and want to break my lease which is up in April. Its not safe here anymore. Drug use, one drive by shooting last November then this. Can I legally break my lease since they lied and its not safe here now?

I live in a house that another person owns and I have no rental agreement. He refuses to fix anything and threatens to remove all the house doors if I move or complain. Since there is no rental agreement, what if any are my legal recources. Can I sue him for being a slum lord? I have had to fix everything myself on a house that he owns, and I havent seen a dime for any of my work. My kitchen floor is rotting away, there are strips of sheetrock hanging from the ceiling. Without a rental agreement, can anyone help me find a way to take this guy to court!!
