I'm buying a home and have recently written out the contract. No flooding was disclosed anywhere in the contracts. Before giving the realtor my earnest money, I received pictures from a neighbor of the entire back and front yard under water from last year.

After showing these pictures to the realtor, he spoke with the seller and said, "This was only a one time event".

What are my options here? I know that I can re-write the contract because it wasn't submitted with the original offer. If the property is selling for $129,000, how much would that go down considering the flooding? Also, no structural damage to the house, water never reached there.

Thanks in advance for any advice and help. First time buyer and college student - so I'm still learning...new to all of this!

This question is for people who have experience with being a landlord or a realtor. I am thinking about selling my home in 1 or 2 years. It is an older home about 30 years old in a nice neighborhood. I have made upgrades to my home such as remodeling the kitchen, putting in new carpet, paint, and inside doors. Would it be a better financial investment to sell the home right out when I decide to move or try and rent it out for a few years? I do know that there are down sides to being a landlord but I know there are some positives. Please give me some sound advice and suggestions.

The time-limit to get it "listed" will be up in a few days; OR, the court will then take it over. I cannot get it ready to be "shown" before another week or two! QUESTION: CAN IT BE LISTED NOW WITHOUT HAVING TO "SHOW" IT RIGHT AWAY?? Thanks!

My current lease expires on July 31. We need to extend by just one more month to help plan our move. But, the landlord is asking for a 40% hike in the monthly rental. Do I have any options? We have had a number of issues with our apartment including incessant leaks and are hoping to maintain our current rental just for 1 more month. Thanks for your advice!

It is my understanding that a landlord can only charge for damages and lost rent as a result of breaking a lease. I paid for April rent (april 1-30), got new job in new city and had to break lease. I gave notice on april 10, moved out april 15, Apt found a replacement tenant who moved in april 30. They are not out any lost rent monies, but want to charge $1000 insufficient notice fee. Is this legal?

We are under contract for a new townhome. We signed the contract back in February and are expected to close sometime in August. We just checked the builder's website and the base price of the model that we are buying has dropped by $20,000. Is there any way to renegotiate the contract with the builder so that we could get the new and much better price? If not, is it possible to back out of the deal, lose our earnest money deposit but then come back in and buy the same property for the lower price? Would we then be considered a risk? Also, would our lender even want to lend us the amount of money on the original contract now that the price has gone down so much?
Thanks

If you have no money down, and your credit score is good (over 700), is 7% good for an 80/20 loan (on the 80% part not the piggyback). I know someone who put 10% down and got 6.25%, but his credit isn't great.

Everytime I google "prime rates" or something like that it's in the high 5's, or low 6's. How do you know what the real rate is?

I have recently purchased a house in Saskatoon, saskatchewan. After moving in i was told by neighbors that the house had previously been flooded and that everything had been covered up to make it look like there was no flood. I have noticed small amounts of black mold.
