Ok, so my landlord has the old hot water heaters that run along the floor as backup in my house. Soon we will be using a kerosene space heater as the main heating source, but it plugs in where our electricity usage comes from. We were told heat was included in the rent when we moved in. My main question is if that kerosene heater runs off our electricity, but heat is supposed to be included in the rent, am I right to ask for a reduction in the rent while that heater is being used? I thought heat included meant every expense that goes w/ heating the house, not just the cost of the fuel for the heater.

I had an idea. I want to live in a particular area but can't afford the rent. I know when my parents pass on they will have a fair amount of money to leave to myself and siblings.

Do you think if I asked my parents to help me out pay my rent and leave me less money in their will? Or is that silly?

I bought my first house in June. Our taxes are escrowed do we need to worry about the payment or does the mort. co. take care of that for us? Also do we need to worry about how much we have in our account or is it always enough?

The seller reduced the asking price to $90,000 today. The house has a foundation crack, with some damage to the bathroom walls. A repair inspection was done and the cost to repair the foundation totaled about $4,800 - $5,000.

Other than that, the house is in good condition, with original hardwood floors. I know the seller is anxious to sell the house.

It is a center-hall colonial with 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms. The home is 2200 sq feet and sits on 1/2 acer. (A large lot for this town.) The house was built in 2001 and is in good condition. It is in a very nice neighborhood in the suburbs. Most of the houses in the neighborhood have sold for $250k - $350k in recent years. The neighborhood has a community pool and is within walking distance of a city park. My only concern is that there is a musty smell in the basement. The house is for sale by owner, so there are no realtors involved.
According to the county auditors web site, it was appraised for $236,000. I think the house is fairly priced, but the market in our area is very slow. I want to get this house for as cheap as possible, but I also want to make a reasonable offer.
THANKS!

I would like to sell my house myself, but in this market I am wondering if I am screwing myself. My house will probably only sell for $240k and I purchased the house for $228k. My profit margin is so small that I am very reluctant to use a realtor. Any tips from people who have sold thier own house? What were the challenges? I live in Southern New Hampshire.

We (actually my husband) rented out a house for a "friend of a friend". He and his 2 teenagers needed somewhere to live. Rented him the house starting last october, $350/month, with no lease. My hubby gave him 2 months rent FREE until he got back on his feet.
In Aug. he called my cell and left a voicemail stating they were moving out.
In Sept. my hubby went there and the guy still had stuff in the house, plus like 5 JUNK CARS on the property!
I drove by last week and the junk cars are still on the property.
On Oct. 9th, this week he wrote us a check for $350, and on the MEMO it says "August rent, last month of residence, final payment.
What about Sept. rent?? Wouldn't he have to pay it, if he still had stuff in there along with the cars on property? We KNOW he was still there in Sept., because the dog was tied up on the porch. He's stating he didn't live there, he shouldn't have to pay rent.
So without a lease, or we screwed out of Sept. rent?
What to do with cars?

we've been renting in nice areas for years and for the amount we spend on rent we could actually buy a home in a not as nice area. so would it be a bad move to buy a home in an area that the home prices are low? should we just keep renting?
