Renting & Real Estate - March 2007

Does anyone know anything about this particular apartment complex? Can anyone tell me if many people there have children? Average age of the tenants? Are they students? Working adults? I've spoken to a property manager and have seen info on their website. My husband and I will not be able to move for a while and will not be able to make the trip to visit for a while, although we plan to. We have a 2 yo and are moving to Lake County Illinois for his work. When I spoke with the manager (or whoever it was), it sounded like this place may have somewhat of a party atmosphere. She said they have a lot of bands, beer tastings, etc. Sounds like a lot of fun if it were just the two of us, but if it is primarily a place for college-age kids, I won't want to live there with our daughter. The manager of course, painted a glowing picture of the place, but I would like to hear an unbiased view. Don't get me wrong, I had a blast in college, but I don't really want to relive it. Any info

Besides local advertisement and newspaper, is there a top rated internet site that you would recommend?

I am looking into buying either a townhouse or a condo, and I know they come with association fees. In my area they usually run from $150 to $250 per month. I've asked a few questions on here already about buying a home, and I was told that when I get a mortgage I should make sure that it includes property taxes and homeowners insurance. Can that mortgage also include association fees? Or is that completely separate? I'm just thinking that having to budget for the association fees would reduce the amount I can afford to pay for a condo or townhouse. Another question, how can I figure out how much heat will cost me each winter? I've heard most condo associations in my area cost more, but include heat, whereas with a townhouse it costs less, but doesn't include heat. I'd rather have a townhouse, but will the cost of heat and association fees put that out of my reach??

i'm trying to buy a condo. the owner is asking $165,000.00. i did some research and the nearest condo that was sold at $168,000.00 had over 100 sqaure feet more than the one i'm trying to buy, nonetheless, these people want that amount. is ti fair? do 100 ft more make a big difference in the sale price?

The townhouse seems to make more sense for my family. The price is low enough on it that we could get a 30 year fixed at 5.625 versus the 35 year interest only at 6.25 that we have to take on the house to qualify for one of our loans. Also we are taking a loan out for the closing costs, which is deferred for 5 years. But the townhouse owner will pay all closing costs. So on the house, in 5 years our payment will go up about $450/month.
The townhouse has 2 1/2 baths, versus the house with only 1. It also has a 2 car attached garage, the house has NO garage. The townhouse has more square footage and a loft for an office. There is also a swimming pool at the townhouse. The HOA's are low, and we wouldn't have to worry about the outside at all. They are both in the same great school district.
Can I back out of the deal on the house at this point? Is there reasons why I shouldn't? I will lose my good faith deposit, but I am ok with that since I will save so much on the townhouse

I am looking to remortgage (UK) my home and am looking for a formula I can put in a spreadsheet to calculate the monthly repayments. The loan amount is £158,000, the term is 21 years and the interest rate is 6%. I would like a formula that I can vary the term to reduce the interest paid. It is an interest and capital repayment mortgage. Thanks

We tried to remortgage our house in jan, however the surveyor says its only worth £107000, however the house next door just sold for £14000, fair enougth it has double glazing and a conservatory. Our home is in need of repair but isnt that bad, just needs double glazing and new kitchen, were due to have it valued again in next few weeks. Our house got to be worth least £125000 for remortgage, surely it should be worth this with next doors selling for such alot??
Anyone any experience with these things?
Thanks

Whilst looking through paperwork from the last time that I remortgaged 2 years ago, I have found a plastic wallet containing actual title deeds to my property sent to me by the previous conveyancer, with a letter stating such. Surely these should have gone to my current lender not me? Im worried that this will cause delays or even extra expense for myself - what should I do? I live in UK.

I'm 29. we share a house because she was in a desperate situation, and it was financially convenient for me at the time. Now the lease is ending in July, and I don't want to live with her anymore. How can I tell her without upsetting her? I know she is not financially able to live by herself, but I am tired of having to help her out by living with her. I want my own life. I have dropped hints that my friend wants to move in, but she sulks alot and changes the subject or refuses to talk about it. I want to stay in the house I am in, and I want her to move out. We are on the lease together, but I paid all the bond money, and I want things to stay civil and nice.

We purchase an older mobile on land 10 yrs ago. Then 5 yrs ago, we bought a new manufactured home, and put on the land.
The contract was never changed to show the new home, which is paid for.
We want to re-fi, to pay off the land, and also to get out from underneath owing the relative from which we purchased the land from.
Are we going to have trouble doing this?

I am in my late 30's and live in Vancouver. I purchased a two bedroom condo in 2005 and have a $180,000 mortgage (the condo is worth $300,000). I have an extra $20K that I was thinking of putting into the pricipal but I came across properties in St. John's, Newfoundland for approx. $125K that were yealding $1000 in rent. (I have family in St. John's that could look after things for me.). Do you think my money would go further purchasing a rental property or putting into the our principal mortgage?

i have a rather bitchy building management company; they're also brokerage company.

my question is how likely it is that they would be cool with me subletting the place for the last months i was originally supposed to stay here? i hear sometimes the management companies will let you so long as they provide the subleasing agreement..

they aren't too nice to us in general because we're the youngest tenants in the building (college students) but they let us move in anyway, basically threatening us to not miss a single payment.

My husband and I recently signed a contract to purchase our first home. We now have seven days to get the home inspected. The current owners have not yet moved out of the house, so all their furniture, etc. is still in it. Will this keep the inspector from seeing things he has to see to accurately assess the home's condition?

Also, they will be leasing the house from us for two days after closing, so when we do the final walk through, their furniture will likely still be in the house. What happens if, for example, there is a huge stain under their bed that we didn't see until after they vacate the home? Or a hole in the wall behind the couch?

Has this ever happened to anyone? And if so, what did you do?

Thanks!
