Renting & Real Estate - March 2007

It needs the vertical structural support in the basement replaced, because they are pulling moisture from the basement floor,and rotting. Also it needs a new furnace. the house is 2400 square feet, about 1400 on the ground floor. How do i know how much it will cost to replace them?

Is it a rental? A condo? I don't get it. If you buy one do you pay a monthly fee in addition to your mortgage?

I currently live in Florida, but I'm looking to move back to Tucson, Az. I need a site in which I can browse both rental houses and apartments. If I decide that things really are in my range, I'll fly out, find work and houseing, come back to get my cat/dog and stuff and be gone.

Thanks much.

I bought a house 3 years ago through a mortgage company. It was a first-time homebuyers loan, and the only stipulation was that you couldn't sell your house for a profit for at least seven years.
Here's the problem: my wife and I would like to move and build a house. However, we only paid $50,000 for our house. We bought it from someone we knew that needed the money, quickly, so they sold it for cheap. Similar houses in the neighborhood are selling for around $65,000. I'd like to find a way to get out from under my current mortgage. I don't think I can just give my house away. We've probably put $5,000 into it since we bought it. What can I do?

If I were to apply for pre-approval for a mortgage twice in the same week would it count as two credit inquiries on my credit report or just one? For example- I expect to buy a home priced at about $70K so I apply for pre-approval and am accepted. 3 days later I find a home that is $75K, like it much better than anything at $70K, and know that I can afford it if I cut out the daily cappuccino. When I apply for approval for 75K does it count as a new inquiry on my credit report, potentially lowering my score, or is it overlooked due to the same inquiry within a week from the same bank?

my house has been under contract for the last month. we were supposed to close last week, but the buyers loan was still not processed. I am about to loose my dream home becausee of this. I keep hearing the buyers are approved but the package has not been sent to the closing attys. should my agent been more in-tune to what was going on with the buyers loan or is that only the buyers agent responsibility. I wonder am being sold wolf tickets?

This is my first month living on my own in apartment. The apartment space is 1,055 square feet. I know some of you live in Ohio so you may know who Duke Energy is.

Now for the bill. I received it today in the mail, it's for $180.00.

The charges are:

Total Delivery Charge: $91.75

Total Generation Charge: $83.44

I live with a roommate and our heat is ran through electric as well. We don't use much electric at all and we had our heat on 72 for about a week when the winter storms were hitting but now it's back down to 68.

I talked to duke energy and they said the average bill around these apartments is $61.00 but that ours may be high because no one has lived in ours for a year.

Is this pretty normal?

I moved in to a condo February 1 st and signed a one year lease. I paid the first and last months rent. I have two other roommates and there has been a lot of problems since I moved in. The biggest probelm that I have is that both of my roommates smoke weed everyday in the house and the house reeks of pot. I can't take living there anymore so I told the landlord and he says that I am responsible for finding someone to take over the lease. He also told me that if I'm unable to find somene to take over the rent that I will continue to have to pay the rent even when I move out, even though subleasing is apart of the lease. He also stated that I couldn't break the lease because the other roommates are smoking pot and that I couldn't prove it, even though I can.



My main question is this a reasonable cause to break a lease? Am I responsible for continuing to pay rent even when I move out? Should I be able to continue to live there and the other two evicted?

My tenant has not paid me for January rent or February rent. Now March rent hasn't come. I sent him a formal notice that at least January and February rent must be depostied by today. Lets say he does come through but short $100.

Keep in mind-I also loosely mentioned that if he did pay Jan& Feb he could pay me March during march sometime.

My question is if he pays for Jan. & Feb and is short $100. should I evict him based on a late March payment after he has just payed what I am owned. Considereing I had mentioned that he could pay for march over the month? would that be a verbal contract.

I have lived in Tijauna for 10 yrs. . I realize Nafta changed the rules on land ownership. But this IS Mexico and things can change. Also I am worried that with the coming of passports necessary to cross the border the local economy may tank and take real estate prices with it.

I know each case is different, but an estimated average would help!
For example, if they ask for 800,000.00 how much should I offer the first time????

it with deed restrictions are those restrictions on there for life? I'm trying to explain it better to my DH. He doesn't understand ~ if we are purchasing the home why do we have to obey somebody elses "rules"? The restrictions aren't hard or anything and we wouldn't come close to breaking any, but can you explain exactly what and how a deed is placed on a property?

The maintenance men came and fixed my bathtub while I wasn't home and when I came back home my apartment smelled of cigarette smoke.

I also have 2 birds, which is very harmful to them.

Do I call my landlord and complain? Do I write a letter to him? Or do I just ignore it?
