We could buy the manufactured home for $25,000 @ 15 % simple interest or rent a house with 2 bedrooms, one bath for $420.00/month. The manufactured home has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths and comes with all new appliances. (fridge/freezer, microwave, dishwasher, washer/dryer,stove) lot rental would be $150/month. We just can't seem to decide because the house has no heat/air and is high on electricity bills in winter, and the manufactured home has central heat/air but depreciates in value over time and is more costly as opposed to staying where we are at but it would be OURS as opposed to the rented house. We need an objective opinion either the rented house or the manufactured home. Buying a house is not an option right now. I have also heard that if a manufactured home is put on a permanent foundation it doesn't lose it's value. If you need more details please specify them and I will include them if needed. I will pick the best answer. Thank you!

I understand I have to comply and plan to be out of the apartment by the 5 day, as it is a 5 day notice. If I take a notice to comply and vacate the premises to the manager of the apartments,take back all keys and give-up said premises, and am out before the 5 days, can they still "legally" evict me?

I'm 17 & will turn 18 at end of November. I am going to college 8 hours away & didn't want to live in a dorm room so my parents & I found an apartment and they cosigned the lease since I don't have a job or credit.

They wouldn't even let me have the apartment unless one of my parents were there with me for the few months I would still be a minor. My mom agreed to struggle for the months and signed the lease under her name and I would be a child living with her. When we got back, they called her work to find out her hours to find out if she really was going to live with me. She told them she was going to fly back for the weekends and even bought the plane tickets. Haven't heard from them for a while but they just called and it's less than a month I was supposed to move in, and they say I can't stay alone during weekends and will have to fly back with my mom! They even wanted to see my class schedule. Is it just this apartment that's doing this or am I going to expect this everywhere?

My mom found a double wide in the classifieds for $70,000. It has 5.5 acres and it said that it had bricks around the trailer. Turns out, the whole trailer was bricked up like a regular house. In fact, if you were to drive by without knowing it's a trailer, you would have never known. They've added a carport and a nice porch to it.

The double wide itself is about 30 years old or more. The inside needs a good bit of work, mostly just repainting everything and new carpet and linoleum (sp?). It could be fixed up very nice. The man said he would take $65,000 for it. My fiance and I are getting married in September and have been looking for a place to live.

Do you think this would be a good investment? I am kind of leary about buying a 30 year old trailer. I don't know what kind of regulations they had back then. At the same time though, it could be fixed up very nice. I have it pictured in my mind. It's also in a pretty location.

My father-in-law passed away. He left a home to my wife worth abought $400,000.00. It has a mortgage with about a $26,000.00 pay-off,and a $530.00/mo. payment.Should she tell the mortgage company about his passing, and just continue making the payments? What about getting a loan to refurbish the home if she decides to improve, or sell the home?

I recently decided that I wanted to move out of my apartment for several reasons. One of the main reasons is that one of my room mates moved her boyfriend in. Her boyfriend is addicted to drugs, doesn't have a job and doesn't pay rent. He has also talked about wanting to grow drugs in our apartment, etc. I don't feel safe around him or his friends and I just want out b/c our place is disgusting. I told my other room mates I wanted out and that they needed to sign the papers allowing me to leave, and then have her boyfriend either sign a new lease or pay them every month. They both said they wouldn't sign for me to leave. This same room mate also bought a dog and isn't paying the required fee to have it. I'm wondering if it is a good idea to tell the leasing office about all these problems and see if they can do something about it. I'm just not sure the best course of action to take. I've tried to find someone to replace me, but no luck yet. Any suggestions?

Here is the story... I have lived here for 1 year on a lease... paid each month- yada yada.. the landlord offers a summer rental of 50% discount and $100 referal fee... My roomate moved out in May and I had my friend move in.. (I should be awarded $100)- he signed a lease for one full year... So in May I told my landlord I am not sure when I will move out so I will pay my new roomate/friend accordingly... Well she never came in May to inspect and give me back my deposit money $300... In June she tried to collect my portion of the rent from my roomate and he denied.. So my landlord comes in today - 2 months after my lease has ended and asks me for $450 ($150 for June/July and $150 in advance for Aug) ... I say "no way" - She still has my previos deposit of $300 and she owes me $100 for referral... my landlord says I didn't refer my new roomate/friend - and she needs to charge me cleaning fees (which she honestly doesn't) - then says I need to have all my stuff out by 8 am. suggestions?

We own a 4-plex. It's a 100-year old house converted into 4 separate 1 bdrm apts. It can be profitable but needs some major work (windows, floor beams need to be jacked, electrical work, etc.) We live in one of the units but want to move closer to family. We were offered $95,000 for it a couple years ago. But realized we couldn't afford to move at the time. Should we keep it as a rental and use it as collateral to buy a duplex closer to family? Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. thanks

Where does the equity go in this situation:

Owner owes (mortgage): $102,000

Owner is asking:108,900

Home is worth: 120,000 (Appaisal)

buyer gives owner 108,900

What happens to the $18000 in equity? (120,000 - 102,000)

If the owner gets it, how do they get it? Cash?

I don't know too much about equity. I know what it is, but I don't know what happens with it. Is this cash in the owner's pocket or is it just used for their a new home purchase. Why do people have Home Equity loans?

the material that the tiles are join with is crumbling and cracking making the tiles loose. I think they didn't even put a sealant on them. Are we protected? do the last owners have to pay for fixing this? You can tell they did the flooring to sell the home and we haven't even been in the house for a month. What can we do? Do we have to pay? This was a job badly done. Thanks in advance.

My husband and I are trying to move and want to buy land to buy a home. We have enough for $8000 down but need to finance about $19000. We want to buy it now so that we can build on it at a later date (in around 6 mos to a year). We don't want anything with a balloon note or ARM. How long can we finance it for and at what %?

It's seems the seller market is at a slow this season. I have been considered renting my home out with option to buy it, but I want to cover all ends, I mean what if the potential Buyer doesn't buy at the end of the contract? Or if toward the end of the contract they are no closer to buying as they were when they began to rent it? And can I still sell it, if I change my mind about selling it to them in spite of a contract? Not to be rude, but I do plan to keep a watchful eye on their credit to see if things do change during their stay (via a signed form of course).

..We are trying to buy a house which is a fixer-upper. It needs lots of work.The town will not let it be sold in the condition it is presently in.But,they have delayed the closing so long I am ready to say 4get it but hubby won't listen.They have to do electrical work.And other work,also.That would delay the closing another month,right?
If they do this work before the closing,the value of the house will go up instantly and we won't get the house anyway,right? Isn't the loan only good 4 3 months?
Please answer all questions......
Thank you.
