Renting & Real Estate - June 2007

Mobile home financing is sometimes very hard to find, some buyers have less than perfect credit, (640 and under). Looking for "financing for mobile homes" single wide and double wide already on land. Some homes listed are manufactured double wide homes with permanant foundation, others are single wide mobile on land. These were previously occupied homes and some are in need of repair. I would like to find more options for the buyer with less than perfect credit, (640 and under). I have talked with a few companies and this seems hard to find in TN. Does anyone have suggestions? Realtors or Finance companies please reply!

I may buy a house on land that has a well. In a couple years, the city plans to bring water supply through the property lines. What "could" this potentially cost? If I ask they City will they be able to tell me and is it accurate? Do I have any say in if they do it?

My landlord owns three buildings on my street. The two buildings next to mine have families that live there and I swear they have like 12 kids each. Every time I come home their kids run into the streets, ride their bikes in the street, or just walk in the middle of the street. They pay ZERO attention to cars. The parents are never around. I have even had children purposely run into the street to try and scare me, and I had to slam on my brakes. Can I call the landlord and tell him he needs to fix this issue? I was told by a police officer that it's out of the police's control.

I understand that you can manage your own properties without a problem. However, a friend of mine wants to manage other people's properties and collect a percentage of the rents received.

Are Real Estate Brokers the only ones allowed to do this? Must my friend first become a Broker before starting his company? He's in PA.

I signed a year's lease when I moved into my apartment. The lease is up July 1st. If I move out before the 1st do I get my deposit back or do I still have to give a 30 day notice? The lease doesn't state any thing about the end of the contract.........It just states that if I were to break the lease then i would have to give a 30 day notice to do so.......

I have recently told my landlord that the house is infested with ants and silverfish. I have taken many measures to get rid of them myself. I have bombed the house and I keep my house VERY VERY clean. I even took it as far as to put all opened boxes of cereal, bags of chips, etc into plastic bags. I have also asked him to fix locks (because I can't lock the house properly which poses a threat to my safety and my childs safety) and I have asked him to fix the light in the bathroom. I have asked him to fix many other things but I figure you are all bored by now lol. His excuse is he can NOT drive here to fix these things because he got a DUI and got his license suspended. What are my rights? I'm a loan officer and not sure of what my rights are as a tenant. Please HELP!!!!

Can anyone knowledgeable in the real estate field take a stab at the following two questions? I realize that they’re pretty general, but just ballpark figures would be interesting to know.
1) What would you say is a rule of thumb difference (money amount or a percentage, whichever is easier) between the seller’s asking price and what that seller will accept? I realize that many factors enter into such an equation, such as market conditions, how quickly the seller wants to move, and so on; but, if you had to make some rough, general estimate, what would you say?
2) I’ve heard that ranches are in more demand now than two-story homes as the baby boomers are getting older and climbing stairs is becoming less desirable. If this is true, could you take another shot at what the difference might be (money or percentage) between a ranch and a two-story in the same neighborhood with all other things being equal, such as lot size, square footage, amenities.
Thanks.

My mother-in-law is 94, she has lived in this apartment for 20 - 30 years.
She fell through a glass panel in the lobby.
After going to the hospital, we got her into a senior's residence.
This took two weeks.
Her former landlord is now demanding 60 days notice.
Her pension is signed over to the senior's residence now.
The apartment is empty, how do we get them to back off?

for the asking price and the seller countered with three conditions
1. we move the closing date up a week
2. the option period is only 7 days as opposed to 10
3. the period in which we have to terminate in case our funding falls through is only 15 days instead of 25
(they are apparently going on vacation . . .)
Our realtor seems to think these are alright and so do I, I am just afraid that there is something wrong with the place and they are trying to pressure us into closing early so we won't notice. The house is in a wonderful neighborhood, although this whole area is prone to foundation cracks. My husband doesn't think that is the case, could they really just be trying to close early to go on vacation?

I am a new landlord, and unfortunately live 3000 miles from the house I am renting.

My renters have been late everymonth since I have rented to them. At first it was only a few days, then a week or two, then almost a month. I could handle a few days or weeks, but they fall further and further behind each month. I told them (in writing) if they fell more than 30 days late, then we would have no choice but to evict them.

Anyway, I am now wondering if there is anywhere (online) I can go to find legal info about evicting a tenant. I would prefer not to hire an antorney since the are so expensive.
