Renting & Real Estate - October 2007

hey im just wondering if its all legit for a mortgage company to say 'yeh we'll give you 100% mortgage' and then a couple of months later say 'No we wont give you 100% mortgage but we will give you a mortgage providing you put 5% of the cost down' ..... isnt that time-wasting and mis-leading for us?

I'm wondering if this is a wise investment. I'm looking for long term and not a quick gain. If anyone has ever rented a HOUSE, then please let me know the pros and cons that you experienced.

I rent an apartment. I pay $650/month by contract, but the contract ran out last month (September) I already paid $650 for October. Now he is going to raise the rent to $750. When he writes a new contract, what will it say? Should October be in the contract, or will it start from November? If it starts from October, should it say $650 for October and $750 there on? Could he possibly try to charge me the extra $100 for October?

I was job surfing the other day and found a job I liked in upstate New York. Was all set to apply, and even found a nice, cheap house I was interested in ($140,000), but then asked the realtor what the annual property and school taxes were.

I was STUNNED when he wrote back that the yearly taxes were $32,000!!!

So, I would have a monthly mortgage payment of about $800, but a tax bill of about $2,666 a month on top of that!

Am I the only one that sees the absolute INSANITY of this situation? Jeebus! How do you New Yorkers NOT rise up and burn down all your local government offices and kill the Vampires that work in them?

My annual tax bill where I live now is about $1000 a year for a $250,000 house!

I live in NJ and last month I paid 1/2 month rent and this month I did not have the rent. I just had a baby and just returned to work I explained this to the landlord already. She is not understanding and came upstairs to tell me she already rented the unit out and I have to be out by the 25th of October. I have no money and no place to go yet. Once I am working more hours again I am fine but right now things are tough. She has not given me any written notice or anything, everything is verbal. What can I do? What are my rights in all of this? I told her I will pay her when I can. I would appreciate any advice.

I am about to put an offer in on a home thats fair market value is 171,000 according to the court house. The owner just bought it in April of 06 and paid 195,000 and is listing it for 209,000. They are already out of the home but due to the fact that it is such a small town the market problems are not going on here. The average time on the market in this town is 12-14 months and it has been on the market for over 3. What would you offer? Also my agent just told me today that he is about to relist the property.

Unfortunately, I live in a basement apartment. The landlordes don't live here they rent the house out. It is so cold down here and theres no heat. I called the landlored and he told me to tell the people upstairs so I did and they put the heat on for like a couple of days and then turned it off. Tonight it's freesing and when I asked them to turn the heat on they said no because they're warm even though before they said they could easily close there vents. It's October 22nd I live in Canada and i'm freezing. What should I do? When I call the landlored they tell me to work it out with the people upstairs and when I talk to them they say they won't put on the heat. Legally it has to be atleast 22 degrees celcius as of September 1st right now it's like 10 degrees. Should I call the landlord and tenant act or should I give it a couple more days?

I was a co-signer on a second mortgage about three years ago with my soon to be ex-husband, and I ended up getting really tired of this man and I moved out and got my own place and after I moved out of the house he just let the house go and it was forclosed on just recently, will the mortgage company come after me for payment, I am really worried because I really can't afford to be getting my check garnished because I have children to take care of.

I have to file a complaint against the selling agent for a home I bought (closed) where he didn't ensure the pest clearance was complete prior to escrow close and now I have $20K in pest work that needs to be done. I wouldn't have bought the house if I knew it was this bad! I'm planning on going through the CA Dept of Real Estate to complain, but have no idea what to expect. Anyone have something similar happen?

When an inherited estate is under two family names(a partnership)and there has never been an agreement signed. No one living at property, needs a lot of work. We verbally agreed to sell the home "as is".
When the other party chooses to turn on utilities in there name (NO ONE LIVING THERE) and adds up expenses by chosing to work on the property, without discussing it or without an agreement. They say we have to pay half back to them. My name is on the house deed that's all.
Am I legally liable to reimburste half of the expenses they chose to put into the house when the property is sold, without a signed agreement?

She stated in the lease that I need to notify her via certified mail if I wanted to renew the lease, but this job offer came as the renewal came up. The letter to her was mailed 30 days before the lease end date.
