I'm getting the idea that "Bankers' Hours" are seriously in effect more than we know.

I have never owned my own home and wouldn't know the first thing about the process. What kind of down payment, what kind of credit, what are the first steps, etc.

If the owner of the shopping center sells his property can the new owner raise my rent or make me leave to tear the building down?

I have found a couple of homes I really do like. However, my mortgage company has advised me to clear some items off before the loan can be processed. These will probably only take me about 30-60 days My problem is, the moment I find a house I like, it's gets snatched up.
Is it possible to put a contract on a home with closing in 90 days? or more?

My stepfather's parents are my landlords. I moved in to the apartment about 3 months ago. The carpet is over 10 years old, and is a blue with a brownish green hue from all the nasty stuff in it. At first it was going to be cleaned, but that didn't even get done. I was in such a hurry to move in I figured we would fight about it later. I have asthma and since we have moved in, both my son and I have been having problems breathing. Also, we were playing on the floor one day, and when I woke up the next morning, I had a horrible rash where my stomach and arms were on the carpet. Is it too late for me to fight for new carpet? I do not want to cause family problems, but even if they evict me for calling the owners, they would have to replace the carpet anyways. Also, in the doorways to the bedrooms there are huge holes from the previous tenants cats. we were told they would be replaced in 2 weeks. Nothing yet. What should I do??

I am considering getting into real estate investing in select markets, but have neither the credit nor the money to get started. I would like any suggestions on how to overcome this issue from any experienced investors out there.

I'm looking into refinancing my home to get out of an adjustable rate and I've received two good faith estimates. Both for FHA loans. It's a 95% loan and one company says they can get me the loan without mortgage insurance and the other says it's a requirement.

Do you have any suggestions on how to explain to him every room in the house needs some kind of repair and quite frankly his offer to sell at the highest price possible is unprofessional. We had the property inspected as well and the cost of repairs in in the thousands. Is this common? Any feedback would be welcomed.

I currently am living in an apartment and my lease is almost done THANK GOD! I found better apartments to move in to and yesterday the lady called me and said everything looks good except that the place I am at now is charging me $25 for rental verification. So when I called and asked them what that amount is for and why, the manager said because it was " TIME CONSUMING."

No where in the lease does it say I owe them $25 for rental verification. When I went up to confront her this morning, the manager said that she didn't say that, and that the $25 is a special service the company provides. I am not buying this story, could some one please help me!! Thank you!

What is a landlord? How does it work? Do you need special classes? Please let me know, my husband is a licensed handyman. Most importantly besides free rent, how much do you charge?

Hello,

I applied to an apartment 4 weeks ago with a $20 credit check fee and $80 fee to reserve the apartment. If I was accepted they would put the $80 towards the $500 security deposite(that is the amount the app. that I signed says). I was denied and they said I could get the apartment if I could either get a co-signer or a $2400 security deposite. Well I couldnt do either and we went are own ways. The lady there called and said she would mail me the check for $80 back (2 weeks ago). Yesterday I called to see where my check was and they said that since I was accepted but with stipulations that they got to keep my $80 and that I just couldnt accept there offer. Now I have to take it up with there corporate office and they are the ones that broke the contract. It clearly states that the $80 will go towards a $500 secutiry deposite not a $2400. If I dont get my money back I will take them to small claims court. Please let me know what you think.


PS. I live in WI

we have HSBC for a morgage company and when we had to replace our roof for 20,000 we fell into finacial hardship.we are not behind but they have turned us down to qualify for any help. They are awful to work with and we had to put the house up for sale but the value is less than what we owe. forclosure is a strong possibility. I think they will fight us to the end they have already turned down our hardship letter. I also took a lower paying job for health reasons. What can we do about a company who is only out for money?

I'm in the process of purchasing a foreclosure house for a flip. I just found out that it's in a flood zone. I know I have to get flood insurance. I was wondering if it scares people from bidding/buying since it's in a flood zone. Any thoughts???

I have been renting this town home for 24 months and leaving. Are there any California laws regarding deposit refund. I was told by a friend that if I have stayed for 18 months or longer (which is true in my case), the land lord can't charge cleaning fees or painting fees. Is that true? Are there any laws that protect the tenant in California. BTW, I have kept the rental unit town home very clean. It might just need a carpet clean in my opinion.

I own a home with my father - who is in huge financial debt. I am fearful that he will default on the mtg and in turn that will effect my credit. I currently own a condo and my mtg has a high interest rate due to the ownership of the first home. What are my best options to get myself out of this situation. He wants to refinance to pay off his debt - but I believe he will be unable to do. I just want to save my credit before its too late.

The agency is also a sales office, but as their commission would usually be for the marketing and 'buyer-finding', surely there is no basis for paying. It would be better to sell directly to the tenants, yes? This is in QLD, Australia.
