Renting & Real Estate - September 2007

I own duplex's and I have a lady the was up front about being in prison for over 2 years because she sold drugs for a year. She said she did not use then, just sold them. She seems to regret what she did & she had grand kids that she wants to enjoy she said. She has 4 grown kids . She is on Parol for another 3 years. She want to move her 19 year old son & 17 year old future daughter in law in to for room mates to help out. Neither of them has ever been in trouble withe law & both have a job & the 17 year old is still in high school. I have been in this business for 45 years and don't usually rent to people with records. I do believe that she is honest about changing her life and she made one mistake & paid for it & still has to pay for it for the next 3 years. I believe under certain conditions some people deserve a chance. What is your feed back on this situation?

It seems more and more individuals would be paying cheaper rent right? More houses that are in foreclosure etc, could be turned into rental properties, or rooms that are for rent?

i asked a similiar question once but didnt really get any answers on how much is insulting. I picked that amount because we can easily afford that but 215,000 is pretty much the most we can safely afford. i know 2 things ..the owners are anxious AND they were so anxious they almost just wanted to rent it out so they could move already, the other thing is it does have MINOR work to be done. I know im lacking info but basically i just need to know if im going to waste my time even offering that low?

Our family is relocating. I made the trip up early Saturday to get the lease signed and my husband was coming later. First, they said we had to have account numbers for our electric and gas. We had the accounts set up but the companies didn't provide numbers. They wouldn't give us keys even though I had other proof we had the accounts set up. Anyway, fine, we did our best to rectify the situation on the phone with the companies, but no luck. We made a deal and they were going to let us in. Then at 4:30 in the afternoon, they said I couldn't sign the lease without my husband when during the week they said it was OK if he wasn't there to sign when I was, he had til 5 to get there that day or we were out of luck. We found another apartment. Now they won't give us any info in our file they have on us, not even copies of our paystubs. We DID NOT SIGN THE LEASE!!!!! Some jerk said our wages would be garnished. How can that be if we didn't sign?

Should I try to buy it for 48,000 dollars? Its a sellers market. There will be a tenant already living there renting part the other side of the house. Should 48,000 be fair? The only other issue is I still must see the condition of the house?
What is a good and fair price?
The area its in has hardly any jobs though, not that its a problem.

15 minutes till Sunday appointment and the Leasing Agent calls me and tells me that without a "Pre-Qualifying Letter" from a Lender, it would be
quote: "Unethical for me to show you properties outside of mine."
I set up the appointment to see one of his listings on Sunday, to follow up with seeing 3 other properties that were not his.
I set up these appointments late Friday afternoon and had set up with his mortgage broker the information to generate the letter. Since the Listing Agent assumed we were a slam-dunk approval & we weren't, he was upset. I never heard from him on Friday nor all day Saturday, and in fact he waited until 15 minutes before our appointment to tell me of his not showing us the other 3 properties.
#1- I consider it unethical for him to wait until 15 minutes before our appointment to tell me of the "no shows"; he was aware my hubby is disabled and should know it takes lots of effort to get dressed & ready...(the house is handicapped)
(continued...)

The whiole story:
We were seperated 2 years ago. I signed a quit claim deed and gave him the property shortly after. He re-financed the house without me on the loan, I no longer lived there and we are now divorced. They ran the title BEFORE the quit claim deed was filed since my ex sat on it for some time. Earlier this year I received paperwork re: the foreclosure of his house. I was named as one of the defendants. In that summons was a copy of the new mortgage agreement with him as the sole borrower. I filed a response with copies of the quit claim deed and proof I was NOT a signer on the current mortgage. I WAS on the title but am not any longer and again, I was not involved in the re-financing of the house. A judgement has been made and I am still (according to the court) responsible along with his current renter. How is that possible and am I truly responsible?

Recently - I received a visit from the town for my shed being to big, having a 4' freestanding pool with no permit, etc. Mind you - all of these charges were found to be a 'no grounds' - so I'm ok with that. What I want to know is - which of my neighbors did this. I don't want to hear to 'just let it go and cut any losses and aggravation speeches' - I'm not built like that. I need to know and feel I have every right TO know? Any help would be appreciated.

I actually have a couple of questions.
1) The house I live in has been put up for sale. (It is a 3 family home) What are my rights when the house is bought? How much notice do the new owners have to give us before they either a)evict us or b) raise our rent?
2) Does the current owner or realtor have the right to show the apartment when we are not home? I have pets, so this is important to me.
3) When we moved in, we were granted storage space in the basement and for the past couple of months, the landlord has had a padlock on the basement door and won't give us a key. Can she do that?
Thanks in advance for your help

I was fooling around in eBay, so I went to the real state category and I was amazed of how cheap they were selling land in West Texas, so I figured it must be a scam or something, but the sellers had 100% positive feedback and were listed since 1999 or 2000, anyone knows why?

Mining Act of 1872 allows any American citizen and even foreign corporations to drive four stakes into the ground at the corners of government owned public land in most western states and apply for a patent (title) on the land. You can apply for as many as you like and pay a yearly $100 fee for the land.

Would I be able to stake our 50 or 100 of these 20 acre parcels and build homes on these sites, sell them at a profit?

Has anyone actually done this yet?

I know there is a patent moratorium that is renewed by Congress every year, but that just stops you from buying the title to the land at $5 per acre, but you can still pay the $100 yearly per 20 acre plot. The big question remains:

Is this legal?

We wish to manage the upkeep of our freehold property by ourselves. The building is in need of some urgent external structural repairs. We have received the quotes and now need to raise the funds. One shareholder does not have enough to contribute. We are considering borrowing the amount of the shortfall from a bank. Any advice, website details, etc. would be appreciated.
