After using a realtor that got me nowhere, I started using Craigslist to find buyers for my property. So far I have 2 interested parties.

After answering any questions the buyer need to know, and if they want to move forward to purchase the place. Can't I just hire a real estate lawyer to all the paperwork, and legal stuff?

I have a couple of properties on buy to let mortgages and was wondering if there is a way or reducing your tax you may have to pay when you sell it or not and do they automatically know when you sell the property and chase you for the money?

I have been doing this in order to pay off the loan faster. Then a friend told me that paying off your house is an old-fashioned idea as these days people do not buy their houses for life. Therefore if I am going to sell it anyway before the loan matures (in 28 years)- which is likely- there is no reason to try to pay off the loan. What do you think??

I have been considering investing in a buy to let flat. I have found flats at unbelievable low prices which would suit my very small budget. The neighbourhood seems to be on the up but I believe the one bed flat has been laying empty for a while, and is being sold unseen. Just how bad could it be? What cost could I be looking at to modernise if I have to rip everythng out and replace it... and whats the biggest thing to worry about?

Thanks!

Hello.
I've lived in my apartment COMPLEX for 2 years.

I would like to hear from landlords about the damage that has been done since i've been here .. and what landlords over look.

* My cat isn't declawed and she's made quite a mess of the carpet in corners .. pretty much in every room .. and when i got my puppy he chewed up a HUGE spot in the carpet.

* There is a faily small gash in the wall from me throwing a dog toy.

* Chips in the paint from where my computer chair hit the wall.

** Pretty much all the blinds are broke. But they are the cheap blinds landlords put in .. so theres just nothing i can do about that. The blinds are melted in some spots from the sun also.

...And just the usual wear and tear. (I've been here 2 years)

*_* I would just like to know what landlords will over look.
* About how much would it cost for the landlord to replace all the carpet in the aparment (2 bedroom, 2 story..very large downstairs, all carpet) .. the apartment is huge.

Their is a small brick buliding (60' x 25') that is on the National register for historic places, but it is in a serious state of disrepair. The problem is the area in town in which it is located makes it difficult to restore and I fear that eventually it will simply fall apart from lack of maintenance. Is their any way to move the building with out destroying it?

Hi, I bought a house on ebay for $510 and I'm not sure what to do with it. Should I just not pay? I really dont want negative feedback and this might be a money making opportunity, but I'm not sure. It's in Donora,PA about 40 minutes out of Pittsburgh and I'm in Ohio. If anyone with any knowledge on flipping could give me an answer that would be great.

We just got an offer on our house. A second person was hoping to make an offer on the house too. Are we allowed to contact the interested party to tell them that we're currently entertaining an offer? Or is this illegal?

I am looking at a house that I just found out was foreclosed on in January. I also found out that this house "sold" in early January for $179k but the listing price is for $200k? I thought foreclosed properties usually sold for considerably less than market value. The apparant market value of the house is about $180k. Is the bank trying to make extra money, or ?? I am not sure how long the house has been on the market. It definitely needs some TLC (paint, carpet, etc) in areas but overall is nice. I am trying to get a good value and still have $$ left to make some nice additions (deck, landscaping, etc) without putting more into the house than I could get back out of it. What would be a fair offer that you think would be acceptable to the bank?
