My boyfriend and I are about to be on a mortgage loan together. We may or may not get married in the future. We have had our share of problems and I worry that the relationship is not going to last forever. At the moment though we both want this home and are tired of throwing money away on rent. I want to know what is going to happen if one of us decides we want out of the relationship? Do we sell the house and split the profits 50/50 or is there a way for one party to buy out the other and if so how does that work? what happens if I want out and he is not cooperative and I end up caught in a 30 year mortgage for a home I no longer want to live in because I want to be away from him? How does all this work? I'm confused and worried I could be making a big mistake.

We have been living in the same small apartment for near 3.5 years now and new Management just took over and they are no offense Nazi's, well in their tactics that is. This 5 apartment complex has just been infested by cockroaches which have never been here before until the new tenants upstairs moved in and they are dirty people, not very clean.

Neither of my propane heaters work correctly and one has a dead thermostat. We have holes in the ceiling that are falling down as the upstairs people stomp and stomp as they care less that there are people below them.

Our stove has a broken button, the insulation is shot and windows have no storm windows IN VERMONT.

YET they expect us to pay $100 more starting the 1st of the month and they have yet to fix anything.

I have verbally warned them, written them once and am about to write a third time and call the health inspector and start putting our rent into a savings till they repair it, is this the right way to handle this? Talking is...

I signed a year lease and only lived here for about 4 months and want to get out. Is there some secret or way around paying? or maybe a cheaper way than paying however much they ask for? Or maybe even an excuse that could possibly get you out of it? Please help

My husband and I have a house and are going to sell it for a new one(we want to buy a larger home, in a different area). He doesn't have the best credit. He has 2 repossesions (both voluntary surrenders) and few small charged off debts. When I contacted the mortgage companies most said no and one said we should sell our, pay off the bad debt then rent for 6 months. Sounds like a good idea, but I'm afraid we will sell, then be told we can't buy anything. I don't want to rent for the rest of our lives. We've already gotten used to owning. I have good credit, and they told me I could buy a house no problem, but I just finished school and still not working. Financially what should we do? Stay in our OWNED home until we can (if ever) buy a new one, or take the risk of selling and then have to rent for another 10 years or so.

Okay my parents were helping me build my credit. I bought their house which at the moment is worth 245,000. I bought the home for 120,000 way under market value. The other good thing is, they are still living in the house and paying the mortgage. Am I in a pretty good position or will this turn out to be a nightmare?

Hi there, I was wondering, I currently have two mortages, and 80/20 since I had no down payment. My 80 10 year interest is fixed at 6.125% and my 20 30 year fixed is at 8.25%. I don't want to refinance and pay all closing costs, but could I call my mortgage company and work a better deal with the way the market is. I have a stable job and always pay on time.

My mum would like to add my name to the title deeds making us joint tenants, so the property would pass to me on her death, and avoid inheritance tax.

Does anyone know if this can be done easily and by myself without using a solicitor please?
Thanks!

My grandma has like 150-200 Cemetary plots...and my mom needs to get her teeth fixed which costs about 4000$, and I need a good car to get to college and back everyday I saved up some money but its not enough for a good reliable car.

So my grandma said she would be willing to sell some of the plots to help us out.
They are located in New Jersey.
How much do you think they would go for?
And are they hard to sell?

I just sold property to a woman who is my loan officer, but i decided not to because the whole thing does not feel right to me. She just came to me and asked me to sign a "Release Waiver"!!! She said this is so she can get a loan on the property, I told her NO! She said this is really important she will even pay me $10000 if I sign it for her. I still said No!!

Next thing i know she got the second loan on my property and I did not sign anything!! What?????

I am not to good at any of this real estate law type stuff and she is using me because of it.

Please someone tell me what a Release Waiver is and why she needs that so bad???

She has now stolen my property legally and I cannot do anything about it.

Unless I can get a hold on the Release Waiver thingy. Where can I get that or at least a copy of that? What is it that it was so important to her? How did she get the loan if i did not approve anything for her. Someone please help!!! That was suppose to be my retirement prop. I am 80

Hi friends, I just sold my house FINALLY!!! But on Friday I have to sign out and the HUD just came with a "prepayment penalty" 12k and a late charge of past due payments of over 11k. If I dont close on Friday, this mortgage will be at Foreclosure and the bank will loose !!! but they dont want to waive of these costs for no reason and I just dont have the cash for all these costs!!!! Please help!!! what do you recommend me to ask this bank? They are saying NO, NO, NO all the time without thinking that they will loose more on foreclosure than waiving something .. they are just stupid and that is why they are almost broke !!! please help me here !!

my letting agent wants a written work reference before she lets the apartment to me.
do letting agents actually check out these references (i.e. write back to them, or ring them) or do they just need them as standard practice and put them away 'in a file'?

I found out I had been overcharged about 2000.00 in nine months for rent and utilities, and 200.00 for a deposit the homeowner did not require. My name is not on the lease, I was only the "third tenant." Can I do anything to get the money back? These people were supposed to be my best friends.
