Renting & Real Estate - September 2007

We are getting a 3rd roommate and she wants us to pay extra security deposit for the extra person. Is this legal? There is nothing in the lease that stipulates this and I'm getting a lot of info that it's not legal to ask for more. The roommate will be signing the same lease as we did, but can the landlord alter the lease somehow to require the extra deposit?

I have an important question as a Landlord in Illinois... I was told that if you rent an apartment to somone who is preganant and they are unable to pay rent, you MAY NOT evict them until the baby is born and due process must wait.

Does anyone know anything about this?? Please set me straight.

Thank you!

We have a 5 year fixed at 5.25% on the first and 8% fixed on the second. Our first loan amount is $358, 400 and the second is $100,000.

The 1st will adjust in March 2010. The Margin is 2.250. The Periodic Rate Cap is 2.000 and the Lifetime Rate Cap is 6.000.

How can I figure out how much my monthly loan amount is going to be, assuming the interest rate adjusts to the max? And how often will it adjust?

We are not so worried about the second, since it is fixed for 10 years.

Thanks

We need about USD $1.000.000 for an apartments construction project in South America. We are looking for investors from anywhere in the world. We know about Venture Capital, Angel Investors, Funds, etc. So we need to know which one is the best to get the money. What is the first step to get it. Total ROI (Return on Investment) is about 200%. Very low risk level. We can not get a lot from the local banking system, due to the common unfair interest rates, so we must go for foreign cooperation and at the same time get the benefits of a devaluated local currency by getting the money from a foreign currency, like US Dollars, UK Pounds, Euro, or so.

Thank you all in advance.

I'm in California. The owners of this rental i'm in haven't paid the mortgage for 6 months. Notice of default was filed on 7/19/07. They were given 90 days to get current or sell. Or the house goes on the auction block Oct 18th. Why are they entitled to any more rent? If legally I have to continue paying rent. The law needs to be changed.
What is going to happen after the sale? When can I expect to be kicked out?

I am in the wanting to buy a new home and have found I really like and the owners of the home have just moved into their new home they had built and seem like motivated sellers. They have went down on the price from 142,900 to 139,900. I was wondering could I get away with asking for more off the price. How much?

Do I have to get insurance under my name? And how much would it cost to get the firm as an additional insured?

The American economy is driven first and foremost by consumer spending. Some think that this crisis will trickle down into the rest of the economy and snag businesses and people who have poor credit ratings and limit everyone's ability to finance large purchases, thus hurting those who are selling those large purchases, thus... well, you can see the dominos... Also, the net worth of the average consumer is sliding as the value of his home corrects. Others believe that this is far smaller than past crises such as the S&L shakedown during the 80's. The economy then barely burbed. Please give me your opinion, and more importantly, direct me to an interesting article on the subject.

Oh, and one more thing, New Jersey, your property taxes are atrocious, and I'm leaving your economy by the end of the year.

We are wanting to sell our townhouse, but with the market the way it is, we know it will take a while. In order to save some costs, we were hoping to sell our house without a real estate agent. Is it possible to do this? And, how would we get it on the MLS without a realtor?

I would like to borrow a large sum ($100,000) to build a house. Is there any lender that would accept a payment scheme based on yearly payments rather than monthly payments? For example, I could pay $10,000. every April 15th until the loan and interest were paid. Does anyone know of any lending institution/person who works with unusual terms such as that?

My credit history is good, but because I own this second property (on which I intend to build the house), I have a high loan to income ratio which makes it difficult to get a standard loan.

A large percentage of the subprime borrowers should never have even tried to buy the houses they are in and the sooner they all loose them to foreclosure the better off the economy wil be. Agreed?

1. have an inspector check your house and provide a report to each prospective buyer
2.fill out a seller's disclosure form to the best of your knowledge and provide it to the prospective purchaser
3.ask a realtor to fill out a disclosure form, they are more experienced to handle the problem.
4. you dont have to worry about it, the buyer is responsible for finding any defects

I was just curious if it was possible to rent an apartment without having an actual job. I do work. I am currently working for the family business, but my problem is that I don't get paid with a paycheck. I am basically getting paid under the table. I have a credit card and can afford bills and rent and whatnot... And I was told that all I really needed was a credit card with good credit history. Is this true? Can anyone please give me some feedback? And please, only serious answers....
