I have about 14 acres of land with nothing on it, there's only about 1/2 an acre that is cleared and flat, the rest is mountainside and would take some grading to get flat. I want to have a simple retreat to use for myself on weekends as a "getaway" or to rent to people for similar purposes (i.e. nothing too fancy, this land is out in the sticks of western NC mountains) but I don't have the money right now to build anything- estimates for even a small cabin are around $65,000 and my budget is more like under $15,000 right now. Does anyone have any good ideas for something simple I can put on it or a way to get something built more cheaply than a company would do? I don't want to put anything on it that would decrease the land value. Thnx for any ideas!

It's a bank owned house and I am paying cash. Do I include a check for earnest money with the offer? Is it true that the more I pay the more likely they are to accept it?

Hey everyone,

I'm on the verge of buying my first home. It will be a starter home obviously, and I plan on being in it for about 3-5 years.

I have enough cash to afford the 20% down payment and closing costs, but that would not leave much leftover for random expenses.

Would it be a good idea to finance my closing costs into the mortgage? What would be some pros/cons of doing so?

Thanks!

I need a lender who has done FHA 203 (h) loans in Texas. If anybody knows of one, please contact me.

This is the loan for hurricane evacuees - not the same as the 203(b) or the 203(k).

Thanks!

I am renting a 2 bedroom unit out of a residential home. My unit is attached to the home with my own separate entrace, with my own restroom and kitchen. I do not have guests over on a regular basis.i do very very seldomly. My ex-roommate (whom just moved out 2 months ago and whose name was on the original lease) came to visit for the weekend with her daugther, and I think that the owner will complain about it. When she use to live there he complained saying she was too loud and had too many quest over. As we were leaving this morning, I saw him and he a strange and disappointed expression on his face. My mother said that if he does not want her and her child there sleeping he may evict me. I have studied real estate law and it is not aganist the law to have quest over as long as they don't live there and are not there for a certain amount of time. Also I believe that is discriminatory if he complains that she has a child. By law can he evict me for this reason?

We are thinking about buying this beautiful Victorian home. We can pay for it outright but it needs some work. It has a new roof but needs a new paint job which is mucho work. The mechanicals are updated but the interior is ugly. Wallpaper needs to be torn off, carpet removed, floors refinished, ect.... The "bones" of the house seem in good shape. It just needs some good old fashioned elbow grease. The sellers are asking 135,000 for the house which I think is very reasonable, even with the work that needs to be done. I have always admired this home when I walked by it. What do you think?

I live with my parents and they are starting to talk about rent and such. I am currently a freshman in college. We live in a small 3 bedroom, two bath mobile home. I have my own bed room just big enough for a bed, dresser, tv and a little walking space. It also has a desk built in, you know for school and such. We pay about $400 rent. They took every bill and split it into fourths. It came up to be about $560. They have cable and internet and their logic is that I should pay for what ever I use. I think that it all sounds a bit pricey considering I would still have to do some chores and follow some rules. Rules like no friends over at certain times and no boyfriend if they are not awake. I am kinda scared to live out on my own though... What do you think would be a resonable rent? I live in Indaina

A person I know of but who is not a close friend has a house for sale that just went under contract yesterday, and without my knowledge, apparently accepted a offe for the property that is far lower than it's really worth even in a soft market.

Is it legal and ethically and can it be done to have an Agent still submit an offer for the property?

Can the seller break the contract legally, easily and without likely complications at such an early point?

Thanks.

I am thinking about becoming an agent because it seems like the hours can be really flexible. I have 2 small children and my husband works 5pm-6am 4 nights a week on a rotation of 4nights on, 4 nights off. On his days off, he tends to stay on the night shift, not going to bed until 4 in the morning and sleeping into the afternoon. So I am looking to find something that will fit into his schedule to watch the children. Is this something that can be done as an agent?

Hi there. I have a house in California that I don't want to lose. I also have a condo that I used as income property in order to buy our house. The rate is about to increase, and I won't be able to afford the condo payments anymore. The condo is vacant (my tenant moved out and the rent rate won't match the new mortgage rate) and it's on the market, but not selling. In two months, the rate goes up to high for me to afford.

If I have to foreclose in two months, if it still hasn't sold (have dropped the price so far that I'm uspide-down, and no equity in it), then can they take my house, too? All payments/taxes on both properties are current right now and always have been.

I don't mind foreclosing if I have to, and I don't care about the bad credit that much (although I really do), because what matters is keeping our house, not the condo. I'm running scared. Any advice for me?

I appreciate any words of advice. Thanks!
