Due to circumstances I can't control, my rent wast behind 10 days. I paid my rent up to date. I still owe the late fees. My landlord already wants me off his property due to our ABPT. He doesn't want him on his property. I want to know if he can evict me for just owing a late fee?

I just secured an apt today. However, I was told to place $300 down to take the apt off the market. this is in NYC. they said they need to do a credit check first which takes a few days. If it doesn't approve I get $250 back minus $50 for credit check charge. But if it approves it goes towards the rest of the deposit. Now I want it back because I can't move in cos of an emergency from my end. do you think they can give me back my deposit?TX

My father would like to help us purchase our first home by co-signing on the loan for us. (yes, we both understand the implications of him being a co-signer on the mortgage). He is retired and living on his pension (not collecting SS just yet). Is this possible on a FHA mortgage?

You hire a real estate broker to submit an offer on a house & give her a deposit check made payable to the broker since we don't know which escrow company to use. The owner rejects your offer. You back-out of the deal. Later you find out that real estate broker cashed your check. What would you do in this case?

Ours is trying to charge us ridiculous amounts for cleaning the walls, like 350 dollars a wall, and charging us for things that were already broken. We didn't take any pictures before or after we moved in, but we left the house the way we found it, if not better. Please tell me you are innocient until proven guilty!?

I am about to become a licensed real estate agent. I plan to go into regular residential sales because I already have a couple of brokerage firms that I would be interested in working for.

However, I am knowledgable in a certain niche area (horses) and I know of a real estate company that specializes in equestrian properties only. That seems like a natural fit for me, and equestrian properties tend to go for big bucks, but the properties are really spread out location-wise, so I don't see how I could do that full time, unless I feel like driving 8 hours to show a property to someone! It seems to me like those sales would be few and far between; I imagine working for a local residential brokerage would be feasible as well.

Before I approach the equestrian properties company, I need to know: can I work for two brokerages?

I currently own a home and have found another home that I'm interested in purchasing. The new home is a good deal and exactly what we've always wanted in the perfect location. The problem is is that I already own a home and am worried about having two mortgages. I 've figured I can sustain the two mortgages for about 1 and a half years if the home we currently live is has a hard time selling. Our current home shouldn't be a problem to sell because we have about 40k in equitity but the market is so bad right now that I'm scared. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I have lived in my apartment for 3 years, & I received my lease renewal today & plan to re-sign for a 4th year.
Along with the renewal came a letter from my rental company that said to let them know if there is anything they can do to make me more comfortable living here for the next year.
Since I've lived here for a while, there are a few things that need to be done, but I don't know what should be my responsibility vs. theirs. I don't want to return the lease with a long list of things, so I'm hoping somebody can help me narrow this down to what I should expect them to take care of.
- I would like a new oven (mine is very old, & I know other apartments have brand new ovens)
- My bedroom ceiling has paint that is peeling off. It needs to be patched & repainted.
- new tile in both of my bathroom showers. (they recently remodeled my bathrooms but didn't do this)
- My carpets need to be professionally cleaned.
I don't want to seem unreasonable, so any help is appreciated!

I live in the UK. When I see programmes about people thinking of buying houses in the USA I am amazed that houses in desirable areas such as Florida seem to be so cheap to buy. Big houses, small price.
There must be a catch somewhere, or Americans would buy up all the houses advertised at a bargain price.
All I can think of is that there expensive hidden charges, such as the cost of repairing the roads and footpaths outside the Florida homes. And high charges for other services, like water, gas, electricity, phones, as well as compulsory fees for maintaining individual gardens and communal grassed areas and flower beds.
I am sure that lots of people will be able to tell me whether it is cheap or expensive to live in Florida, once the house itself has been paid for.

I've had my home appraised a couple times before. They measured, looked at it and left. Courtney appraials came, left, told the loan co. I had to take out the window ac units because I couln't open the windows, therefore creating a fire hazzard. Also, we had to refix a spot in the bathroom that had been repaired prior to us buying 7 years ago. Now, he has to come back to check these things, but for another 150 bucks. I'm not selling my house, just appraising. He will appraise it for 35thousand dollars less than it was appraised 9 mos. ago.

My partner and I are currently homeowners on our first home, but are looking to move house. We don't have much in the way of savings, but we do have good equity in our current house.

If we sell our current house at market rates, we stand to make around £23,000 (after the bank's been paid back) which would work nicely as a deposit. But, how does it work?

Would we have to sell our current home first, and THEN put an offer in on the second house? Because the only money we have for a deposit is tied up in the equity of our current home. I’m so confused. :-(
