i was never given a good faith estimate of costs whatsoever. In fact I had to go pick up my own closing statement at escrow and all these charges had already been deducted from the sales price. I thought you were to be notified of what the costs would be prior to closing.

I am a first time buyer, and will need some hand holding for my first purchase. I've heard of some terrible advantages that some agents take, and I want to find a reliable agent who won't take me to town (in a bad way). Any advice on how to best proceed is appreciated.

My fiance and I bought a house. There had been some previous work done to the living room and part of the garage was converted into a laundry room. When we bought it we were told that everything was permitted and that we would be given copies of the permits. The old owners, who were also the real estate agents selling the house, now claim that the only work they had done was to the living room and the the garage was done before they lived there. They want to have the living room work permitted by an engineer after the fact. They also claim there is no permit for the work done in the garage, even though they originally said there was one.

What can be done about this?

am lost and felt like i have been lied too by my mortage company. In 04 we bought a townhome for 184k had 2 loans, 1 for 140k that is a ARM and other for 45k. august of 05 we were approached by Countrywide that has our 1st loan telling us we have a value of 230k and you have about 35k in usable equity. We had about 25k in medical debt for my kids hospital bill. They suggested to roll that in with my 35k second. The selling point was to clear those payments to get ready to refinance my 1st which is a ARM to a fixed plan. Now i am getting these rate hikes now have a 10percent on my first and the payments are killing us. I went to countrywide to refinance, check my credit was 700, my income was fine. Then they send out a apparisal,came in at 195k, countrywide told me i cannot do anything. I hired my own appraiser came up with the samething, but he told me the property should have never been appraised at 230k when i took out the HELOC should have been 193k?

My fiance and I made an offer on a house that should have been presented this morning. However there were 2 offers on this property already. The house just went on the market last week, and I must say it was a heck of a deal. How long would they take offers?

The house is in foreclosure, and the asking price was significantly lower than the appraised value. However, we offered $9k over the asking price. What's our chances here? The agent seemed to think that the other 2 offers might be people looking for investment properties so they're just trying to make a quick dollar.

Would the people who are looking over the offers possibly favor someone looking to buy for a residence if the monetary values are close? Just wanting some ideas of what to expect. I'm not getting my hopes up.

My husband walked out on me 7 months ago and left me to pay a huge mortgage. I am behind with my payments and have now placed the house on the market with a realtor. He started the proceedings to short sell my house. Will that hurt my credit? And how can I buy another house when I won't get any money back from the sale? My lender did not report my lack of payment. Please help!!!

I live in a 2 story house, in the back theres a studio attached, the garage has also been made into an apt, then there is a one bedrm apt attached to house. We all share one PG&E meter. I was told to put it in my name because I live in house. I get the bill, and Im to pay 60% then divide the rest 3 ways. I dont think its fair that my bill goes by how much usage the other tenants use. The one bdrm apt has 5 people in it. If they decide not to pay or move out, then Im stuck with their bill too. The landlord should have separate meters for each unit. I cant get her to do anything about it. Is it illegal whats going on, who can i call. I called PCU and PG&E and they dont know. I tried to contact the county and they are backed up and sending me forms. We are in an unincorporated area. None of this house is up to code, the staircase is a safety hazard, and I injured myself, and she (owner) says she doesnt have insurance. I also have to have garbage, and water in my name.

I am interested in purchasing property tax certificates in Cook County Illinois. I did not attend the tax sale auction, since I heard that there is too much competition that drives the interest rate to 0%, so I would like to buy a certificate in the secondary market or over the counter. I know that tax certificates are a good investment and tax buyers are very secretive and uncooperative to competition. Is there anybody that resells tax certificate in Chicago or Cook County? I am looking for certificates that will probably not be redeemed, so I can file a tax deed petition on them. Thanks much for your answers.

I want to know everything there is to buying and owning a home before I even consider purchasing one, but is there anything wrong with a 19-20 year old wanting to buy instead of rent? I just don't see the point in wasting the money on rent when I can put it toward a good investment, also I heard the payments can be lower than paying rent. My credit is great and I'm very responsible. It's not something I want to rush into, like I said I want to know every detail before moving forward with the idea, but I would like some opinions from others.

For example HUD recommends that a buyer of the HUD foreclose gets a title insurance. Why? Isn’t that redundant?

Also, I know some lenders that require buyers to get a title insurance on a government foreclosure.
