Renting & Real Estate - May 2007

My financee is selling her house in Noblesville, IN. It is a popular middle class sub of Indianapolis. She is selling a 3 year old... 2 story... 3 bedroom... nice curb appeal ... normal house.

The problem is that she has had her house listed for over 3 weeks with a major relator and has had only one showing in that time.

I know the housing market is slow... but one showing in almost a month seems strangly too slow... I have sold a house several times myself... and never have I seen anything like this.

I have several questions for the experts. Is this typical of what other house sellers are seeing? Could there be something wrong with the MLS listings keeping the house from being seen? Any suggestions of other things could be done just to generate traffic?

It is a nice house... so I believe if it gets traffic it will sell... but I don't know how to generate traffic.... any advice here would be appreciated.

They are converting our apts to condos for sale, and these guys are staying here in exchange for their work. They haven't signed leases or anything and no background checks were run(if they didn't sign a lease...).Also, there's at least 7-10 people in 1 and 2 bedroom units.Is this legal? Can I report this or stop it??

An Exit Realty agent here in Truro NS has owed me a couple hundred dollars for more than a year now. Another Exit Realty agent said he would make sure I got my money.

About all he did was get his district manager to call me. A lot of good that was, he started of cursing, swearing and making threats.

Then a couple weeks later the agent who owed me asked for an invoice. I sent him one thinking he was going to pay. A couple of weeks later he wrote back somewhat incoherently and with lots of spelling mistakes. Seemed to claim that he would be judged by God.

I have no idea whether the check is in the mail. Somehow I doubt it. This guy Jim should know that he is responsible now to do what he knows is right. This includes paying his bills. I wonder how any of these guys deal with people?

They do not seen honest to me.

I am studying to be an agent. I understand that most agents are payed 100% commission. Do you typically get any kind of base salary against a draw? Should I expect to start working 50 hours a week without seeing a dime? This does not seem legal. Any input on this subject?

I gave my 30-day notice and now my landlord wants to show my apartment every day from 11am-4pm. He gives me 24-hour notice for each showing, but there's a new notice every day for the next day! Do I really have to let him show the apartment every day for 5 hours? I feel like I shouldn't have to pay rent if I can't reasonably use my own apartment for the last month I'm here...in CA

i bought a condo two yrs ago with subprime credit, interest only loan. i counted on improving my credit score and refinancing before ARM expired. my score is now 720, but condos in my complex and neighborhood have depreciated and keep declining. i owe 190,000; recent comps are $90,000 - $130,000. County officially devalued the property and reduced tax. Spoke to my lender--said they can't do anything. I could rent the property for less than half the mortgage payment, not counting HOA dues, insurance, etc. ARM % doubles in one year, but everyone expects forecolsures from subprimes to increase, more condos on market, lower prices. I've contacted 2 different 'programs' advertising help for my situation, both said nothing I can do. Historically these properties took 12yrs to recover from last price drop. i retire in 6 yrs, need to break even on sale by then, or foreclose. What should i do now? Any options--or hope of quick recovery?

We have seen lots of land for sale with planning permisson but the prices are extreme, we are very DIY orientated/self build. Is it possible to buy a plot of land and put a mobile/static home on there to live in. If so what other forms of dwelling could be constructed for living purposes (eg, a home)

Good credit, bad credit, ok credit.... It seems for some buying a house is so easy, and for others it is a big struggle.

We are going to buy a condo at White Plains, NY. Our attorney said the inspection may not be nessary for a condo because not many problems could be expected. But I feel uncomfortable since it is the biggest investment in my life. And the inspection will only cost around $500, which is almost nothing compared with the condo itself...Any suggestions? Thanks.

I'm a subtenant living in a house with my roommate. The lease is under my roommate's name and she is moving out next month when the lease ends. Do I have the right to renew the lease or continue to stay if the landlord refuses to renew the lease? Actually the landlord had sent the lease to me two months ago, I signed and faxed back. Now she refuses to sign because of two reasons:
1. I asked her to address the repair issues but she refused (one bedroom door can not be closed, two windows can not stay open and she asked us to use two bars to hold the window, etc);

2. She lives away from here. She said she will not sign the lease untill she received security deposit first. But I think I should see her signature on the lease before I send money to her.

She has started looking for new tenant, if I continue to stay and pay rent till I find another place, can she evict me legally?
Thanks,

My lease is ending with a terrible landlord, slumlord really. Also, I just recently found out that I am expecting. When looking for a new apartment, is it necessary, or suggested to let the landlord know that I am expecing a baby in a few months, or is it my own business that I dont need to worry about sharing with a landlord? thanks!
