Renting & Real Estate - February 2007

My credit is not that great but I've never filed for bankruptcy. I have only been at my present job for 6 months and at my residence for 6 months. Will this be problematic?

Read this lady's story:

"I live in a council house and have done so all my life because I could never understand why I should take on a debt for 25 years.
I was given a council 2 bed house when i got married on a new estate.
When we had two kids we applied for and got a 3 bed house, later on we also had a four bed house. I pay the rent and all the improvements are done by the council. I am now a pensioner, I live in a 3 bed house with central heating, double glazing and I have what is called tenant security which means that I cannot be evicted as long as I don't do anything silly like tearing down load bearing walls and pay my rent. Because I am a pensioner most of my rent is paid by the council and I live very comfortably on my pension. If I had bought a house 25 years ago what would I have gained, my kids all have their own (council) house"

I am wondering since my name is not on the deed, if he (god forbid) passed away, what would happen with the house? There is a mortgage on the house too.

Ok, I am thinking to buy a house and have it moved from one state to another. If you have ever had a house moved what are the pro's and con's. The reason I am considering it is because new houses cost over 100,000 but I can buy an older home for less than 50,000 and have it moved, what do you think?

My husband and I will be moving there this August. He is a software engineer & I will be attending NYU Law. It is so overwhelming looking for places. Is it possible to line something up this far in advance? The aparment broker route seems really pricey, but is it the only way? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

I just faxed an application to a property managment company to apply for a lease on a new home. I am relocating to a new area for the campany I work for and need to find a new place to rent. My concern is that my credit history is very poor and I will not get approved to move into this new house. Although my credit is poor, I am paying on everything on time at the moment and my credit has begun to go back up but is still not good. If my application is denied, is there anything I can do to persuade them to allow me to move in and sign the lease for the property? Money is not an issue and I can even put down a little more than they are asking for with regards to the security deposit or pay 2-3 months worth of rent up front. Would this make a difference? Is there anything I can do?

I reside in New York State. I have heard foreclosure laws are different for each state. My mortgage company just called this morning and said I am in foreclosure as of 2/1/07. I am in the middle of refinancing with this SAME company. I also got a letter yesterday saying they had made payment arrangements with me. I'm very confused and trying to contact them. In the meantime, I am trying to find out how long it takes for them to follow through with a foreclosure in NYS. I also just made a payment to them but the person on the phone this morning said they are sending it back.

When people say life in Hawaii (Honolulu) is expensive, what exactly do they mean? For example if a person were willing to go without a cell phone, a car, eating in restaurants, gym memberships, expensive clothes, internet access etc..wouldn't life in Hawaii be reasonable? It's just that so often I read on the net about: "Oh, there's lots of jobs here, but they don't pay much." Maybe that's true, but they don't pay much for what exactly?
I guess my main question is this, "If a person were willing to go without a lot of things that most people take for granted, wouldn't living in Hawaii be much more affordable?"

I'm a college student, who recently got married. I want to move into an apartment with my husband, but neither one of us have established credit. Yet I'm working nearly 40 hours a week, making enough money to afford rent, utilities, etc.

Do you think the landlord would approve, even though I haven't established any credit yet?

I was told recently that I was suppose to receive the deed to the house and didn't know if that was correct. I just assumed it was like a car and you only received it once it was paid for.
