Renting & Real Estate - March 2007

I know it takes 3 years to own the property. But if I pay the back taxes do I have to pay the balance due on the mortgage? And if it is a courthouse steps tax sale is there a mortgage due on those properties?

3 months ago our rent checks stopped being cashed. Now I found out that the house I'm renting is in default as of February. The mortgage company has come by looking for the owner. What do I do and how long do I have to do it in? I have tried numerous times to reach him via phone. His address is a PO Box.

My friend in Italy would like to buy a residence here in the US while the Euro is strong, and sell when the Dollar gets stronger. Can he legally do so? If so, can a regular Realtor help him, or does he need a specialist of some kind?

I negotiate and buy a house, which is less than the fair market value of the house. Now, if I take a loan of 80% of the negotiated value, which would be 90% of the Fair Market Value, do I still pay a PMI.

So this is for New York state. I'm trying to find out how to get a deed for land that my grandparents gave to my dad like 32 years ago, but there was never a transfer of deed that anyone can remember. Now my grandparents are dead, have been for a few years, but the land is still in my grandparents name. My father has paid the taxes on the property for the entire time he's had it, so we're assuming that he would at least have squatter's rights, but I'd like to know how we can make ths official. Thanks for any help!

I am going towards the end of my rental agreement with my landlord which will expire next month, and now he has obviously contacted two estate agencies to help him with prospective new tenants.

Do I have any right about how they can access my property or when.

I have asked them to give me at least one day notice whenever they want do any viewings, but they keep calling me at 9 in the morning saying they have a prospective tenant and would like to come down to show them the property.

Do I have any rights about that?

I mean I am not staying here for free within this last month and I would like to get on with my life undisturbed, which is a bit impossibile when you have two estate agencies calling you over and over because they need to access the property.

My son is trying to buy a house. He just sold one, that he'd had problems with because an ex girlfriend had spaced making the payment one month. The bank he was dealing with claimed that it was 2 payments, and wouldn't even work with him. They said that they were just going to foreclose. So he went to an attorney and filed chapter 13 bankruptcy to stop them. I spoke to a mortgage broker who was going to check his credit and get back to me. When he never called back, I got worried and checked his credit report. Everyone listed in the bankruptcy has reported late payments after it was filed, and the mortgage company claims that they had started foreclosure on it, and 120 days late. Is there some way that he can get this straightened up in a hurry? His offer was accepted on a house.

I have an interest only mortgage. The first ten years are interest. I know that the payments will increase after the initial 10 years but if I pay a few hundred dollars a month for the first 10 years and bring my balance lower by $25000. will I still have an increase in my payments. I would love to see an amortization schedule of my situation but cannot find what I am looking for. My goal is to pay extra during the first 10 years so that I can keep my payments consistant for the 30 year term. Any help?

I have a 1927 old house in Hollywood. It doesn't fit the typical bungalow style its a cross between spainish influence and just a Hollywd house of that era.I've been told the row of houses on my block was part of the studio days of old Hollywood. I have the deed, etc. but this is no help. Where do I begin to learn this hx with architec name, the neighborhood back then and how it was used. I know the previous owner's son lived in it back in the 1950's. He's gone and so is the previous owner. Are there services that provide this information.
