Renting & Real Estate - May 2007

Just bought the house two months ago and it appraised last month for about $20K over purchase price. Can I get a home equity loan at this point?

For example, an $80,000 house's monthly payment would be about $800. A $125,000 house's payment would be about $1250. The payment of a $200,000 house is about $2,000, etc. etc. Is this what you find? An answer from a Real Estate agent would be helpful.

i've heard that if you have a problem with a real estate agent, you talk to their broker...but what if your problem/complaint is with the broker of the real estate firm. who is the next in line to voice your complaint? just a random thought. it may prove useful in the future!

We all know its getting rediculous how many these flat addicts are buying in order to get rich quick. Most people have noticed flats, apartments, homes, even mansions lying empty in order to safeguard a wealthy retirement for the chosen few. The government should obviously set a maximum, but just how many? 2 I reckon, after that it becomes an "intention to supply".

My wife and I signed the agreement of sale for a new construction condo yesterday. We already had our pre-approval but the condo is requiring us to get our Mortgage Commitment before July 31, 2007 because they will be starting construction after that. Expected closing date is November 15, 2007. Will the required mortgage commitment before July 31 mean that I have to rate lock by then as well or not? I gather what that will do is lock me in to one mortgage company either way. Thanks!

My husband and I just bought our first home. We closed on April 10th. A contract was signed to give them 30 days after closing to be out. May 10th is fast approaching, and the previous owner says hes not going to be out, we've even offered him a few extra days..he wants a few weeks. We just can't do that for him. Its our house. I have no idea what to do. Can we have the sheriff escort them out, or can we go to our attorney and set up something for them to pay us rent? Someone let me know!

My Dad wants to now move , sell the house and get remarried. He only wants about$175,000. Can he give the house to me as a gift or sell it at lower than market value price to avoid taxes and capital gains and then I take an equity loan to give him the money he needs?

Our recently purchased property is located in Erie County, NY. We have noticed that the depth of our property is inaccurate. How do we get this changed? According to the filed developement plans half of our yard should be under water, part of the drainage pond (borders the back side of our property according to the survey we got from city hall). How do we get this changed?

When the bank surveyed the lot using the footage on the deed - we loose half of our backyard, our dog kennel, fire pit, and waterfrontage. But we still have waterfront property. I don't get it!

This has become a major problem with summer approaching due to children fishing, teens smoking and making out, and some adults tresspassing as well. The worse - there is a little boy - that pees directly inline with our bed room window.

We have a well trained dog that stays in the yard - but you
never know dogs are dogs. We don't know if we can put a fence up and /or can stop mantaining the back.

I am on this quest to buy a home, and am trying to figure out what I should expect when it comes to applying for a mortgage. I intend to buy in a year, which gives me time to get my credit in the best shape possible as well as save for that down payment. At this point my biggest concern is making enough money to maintain homeownership. The purchasing part shouldn't be a problem for me, but I don't want to be living check to check, so I am curious how to figure out my monthly payments based on my specific scenerio. (ex., credit score, down payment, possible co-signer if it will help, ect.)
Is there a website or something that will let me plug in different scenerios to get an estimate of what I would be paying? (Like they do on car dealership websites.)

I bought a home on contract in Jan 2006 through a local company that strictly sells homes on contract. I know they say payment is due by the 10th, if not rec'd by the 15th, will "serve" me. What does this mean and can I just catch up my payments to them by the end of time given without being reprimanded? How much will I have to pay to prevent losing my home? Please help me out. My payroll messed up on my paycheck and I'm totally panicking. Advice is appreciated.

I am late on my rent as of today, my landlord told my neighbor which is a friend of his. The neighbor has come to the home I live in twice this far, banging on the door and ringing the door bell continously and then running or speeding off in their car. Can I put a stop to this in civil court.

I live in Powhatan Va and my landlord has offerd to sell me the house I currently rent. The property is about 3.3 acres and the house is a 1950 cenderblock home. The house does need some work, but I see it as more of an investment. The offer is $127500.00 for the property and i KNOW it will increase in value do to its location. My wife and I have never bought a home and need advice about how to go about buying it directly from our landlord. We both work have good credit and little debt. Thanks so much for any help. :)

I know that incorporating her income into the scenario would increase my buying power, but I'm wondering if it's worth the potential headache.

My husband and I are both on fixed incomes but my elderly parents need to move in with us because my Mother has alzheimers. Our house is very small and the only bedrooms and bath are upstairs. We would have to build them a room but on our income I don't see how we can. Are there any special programs or grants that I don't have to pay a fee to find out about? All I have found so far are books or information that I have to buy to get answers.
