Renting & Real Estate - September 2007

We have an agreement that he made on the computer, but it doesnt really state the obvious. It covers his butt of course. I have a way out of it by stating teh the urine stink in the house is to much to bear and I am moving. Let me know what you think I can do.

We live in Jacksonville, FL and are building a new house. Our loan officer said "That is for the short term rate not the 30 year but it should help down the road." regarding the rate cut by the Fed today. I feel like this is not right and this should lower my rate. Can someone tell me if I am being "taken" here?

I have always given my landlord a rent check a few days BEFORE rent is due - on the 1st - and it was ALWAYS deposited on the 1st or 2nd of the month. This time, the check was deposited 2 days BEFORE the 1st. The early deposit caused the check to bounce (my direct deposit happens on either the 31st or the 1st). I had to pay a NSF and a late rent fee... in addition, I had to resend a new rent check that hasn't been deposited yet (it's now the 18th).
I have NEVER been late or missed paying rent, but I was told because I don't post-date my checks, there was nothing I could do...is this true???

Bought house a year and a half ago for £117,000 (including the deposit)
Mortgage currently £93,000.

What does he get from equity, what do I get?
How do I work out what equity is fair for him to have...ignore debt, 'who does what, who earns what, who paid what and assets at the moment as this was extremely equal.

I have bad credit and my landlord/boss wants me to buy the house I'm renting its a duplex with a renter on the opposite side of me? I'm clueless when it comes to stuff like this but would love to learn and be a landlord of my own, would i need money down? could I get the loan for more than what he is asking for the house?

I have lived in apartment for 13 months and orginally signed a 2 year lease. I am breaking the lease on 9/30 due the fact that we had water flowing down the wall of our kitchen for 10 months that the landlord never fixed. Also we have water leaks in the bedroom, the front door never being fixed, and the land lord never returns calls. Also the neighbors are so load the police have come by twice in the last three months to write them tickets and the landlord just won't calm them down. I am using the right to peace and quiet to get out of the lease. I am willing to pay him 1/2 a months rent since I gave him 15 days notice instead of the normal 30. Also he is going to say that I violated the lease and need to pay him $2,400 for breaking the lease, but can he enforce that if he never made fixes to major problems or returned phone calls in a timely manner? I know that I can take him to small claims court, but expert advice would be very helpful.

Someone on here was talking about renting some place for a year then wanting to purchase it.
They said since they could prove they'd been making the mortgage payments for a year, they could refinance the current owners mortgage instead of applying for a new loan.
Is this true? If so, what are the benefits to doing that, if any?

I'm living at home right now, but I really want to get my own place. Would it be foolish to move out now, when I could stay at home for a few more years and save money? I feel so childish when I tell people I still live at home, as well as the fact that my family makes me crazy at times. Also, there is a chance I might be leaving soon to work on a cruise ship. However, that job could happen tomorrow, or in 6 months, I just don't know. Oh, and yes I do currently have a job! I'm not a lazy butt, who lies around on their parents couch all day. Opinions?

I'm under 25.

I mean, doesn't it seem the only reason a person would want to do a lease/purchase rather than buying outright is because their credit prevents them from doing so?

My husband is going into the Military full time, and I will be trying to sell our house. Is there a simple legal form he can sign so that I can make descisions on the house...the title is in both of our names. (eg: John AND Jane Doe). Thanks!!

My hubby and I have a first mortgage, home equity loan, 2 auto loans and credit card debt. We are doing ok - but never have any extra money. We are interested in the combo loan from Countrywide - where they are combined.

I've heard that consolidation can hurt your credit. Will this do that to our credit? Since we are doing good, and just want to lower our payments into one, we don't really NEED to do this, and don't want to cause any credit damage.

Your insights please! :)

I bought a land in Naples, Florida, almost two years ago. The bank appraiser made a lot of mistake in his appraisal report. I want to know if I have the right to sue the appraiser.
Thank you.

Help me get this straight...if most lenders sell their Mortgage notes (ala--Countrywide, First Option, Aegis) to other investors, how are they now losing money over home purchases? I know many Companies service the loans, but isn't the new investor, not the initial lender, that is now taking the hit?

I'm hoping that my wife and I can buy a house or build one soon and people have recommended that we buy the land first. I see this scenario come up every now and then and I don't understand it.
Why would one buy land, pay it down and then put a house on later?
The best buildable lot in my area is $115,000. What would be the advantage of getting a mortgage for that land paying it, as well as my current rent, and then trying to get the other $100,000 to build a house in a couple of years?
I just don't understand how this would work or what I would gain. Any experiences or thoughts?

Me and my brother purchased a house .We hold the title in joint ownership with right of survivorship. I got married and was planning to move on with my wife. We have a house being built and plan on moving in soon. The current house that I live in with my wife. I pay for entirely. I finally got my brother to move out after several months of being shorted money then eventually not getting any money from my brother for his half. He left me owing me thousands of dollars. I have tried to reach him several times to get him to sign a quick claim deed. He wont get back to me. We owe 114,000 on the mortgage and 65,000 on a home equity loan. The house is worth only about 150,000 after the market dropped. I want to refi so I can lower the payment and rent the place out. What could I do to get him off the title if he wont sign the quick claim deed. What are my options for short sale or foreclosure if I cant carry the house any longer. What will happen to me if I foreclose. The house is in arizona.
