My gambling in laws moved in over a year and a half ago, on the basis it would just be a few months. Now they have bounced the $200.00 rent check(which just covers the cost to have them here and the groceries) for the THIRD TIME. How much notice do you give them, considering it is the holiday season? remember: they must go, they will never take responsibility for their actions if we keep bailing them out. My husband said that he will back me on what ever I say as long as I am fair. So what is a "fair" amount of notice?

I am a first-time home-buyer, currently in the market for a home, and looking to begin proceeding on buying one particular home. I picked a home based on whether or not the monthly payments fit inside my budget, which is 35% of my take-home income for a housing. I am planning to move-in this December.
Now...currently I have 2 vehicles, both I make timely payments on. However, one is within my budget expense, and the other isn't.
The one that isn't within my budget expense I can't pay off by using the additional funds I'm qualified for in the mortgage. I can't pay the vehicle off either because of how much I owe.

The only way I can think of to get rid of this car, is to let it get repossessed. This would only start after I have moved in to my place and have paid my first mortgage payment.

Now...I know the damage this will do to my credit report, but my concern is, how will this effect my homeownership? Could I lose my home if I do this?

I am a new agent and I want to know if anyone is doing this and how they are handling the commission splits on the the listings. Also, are you using written contracts to govern your partnerships? Are there any drawbacks that any of you have experienced?

I am being sued for breaking a lease on a rent house. They are trying to place a judgement against me. I'm not even o sure what that does. Would you please explain it to me?

Sad part is, I never even had a key to this place and only stepped on the property once to view it. I paid the relet fee to break it, but the contract later has a clause stating that I may not be able to get out. I really thought I had done everything the right way and now I'm being sued for $7000.

My fiance and I have bad credit, but I was looking on Yahoo and found a foreclosed house that has a remaining balance of $4,860. Do you think my fiance and I can purchase this house? We couldn't pay the money up front, we'd have to finance it.

If you think this is possible, how do I go about it?

Thanks so much for all your help!

Anyone know of any places in pennsylvania that do down payment assistance for mobile homes?
Me and my husband would like to get a mobile home from this one place but we need to have 10% down. We have terrible credit do to a foreclosure last year and some very late bills, we are working on getting caught back up but is taking a long time. We would like to rent in this place but do not wish to get rid of our animals to do it so if we buy we can have them. We found a nice 3 bedroom 2 bath double wide but we need to come up with 4,000 for a downpayment. Anyone know of any grants or anything like that we can apply for to get this payment help?

My in laws have proposed to help my husband & I purchase a home by them paying for it out right & having us pay them back instead of a bank. Mainly so we can save on home owners insurancce etc... They want to buy the house & put it in there name with my husband as a co-owner incase something where to happen to them. It sounds like a great idea but I'm not comfortable with my name not being on the deed as they are not giving us the home but rather buying it & having us pay them back so I feel it's a loan. The house also needs ALOT of work & we'd be paying to fix it up. This is a big investment & I feel that I am not protected in all of this should something happen. the inlaws tell me it's a marital asset but it seems to me that it would be an inheritance & if something where to ever happen I would have no rights. It's already caused friction in our relationship when I bring it up. Need advice!!!! Has anyone done anything like this before? We live in FL.

Im looking for websites that will tell me the selling price of homes since the home was built. Like if a house was built in 1920, the first cost, then the cost each time it was sold to someone new. Please provide the website link. Thanks!

So I found a great REO priced below market. It was bid on after being on the market only a week. It fell out of escrow because the buyers got cold feet. Now it's up for sale again, and according to the listing agent he has several full-priced offers. How do I know if this agent is blowing smoke or not? Is there a formula for how much under you can bid on an REO? Is there any way of knowing how much that original bid was for?

I am renting from a landlord that states (it is in my lease, but he did not mention the "no pets" rule until right before we signed the lease!) that I may not have pets in my apartment. However, another tenant in the building has a dog, which he says is allowed because she was "grandfathered" into the apartment complex. Is this allowed? I do not understand why they get to have a dog and I can't have my harmless cat!

Was there any gain? I sure you can claim co op ownership on your taxes. I guess thats the gain.

I guess you can lock in on a mortgage that will only increase when your maint fees does.

Thanks.

My husband just got a job in Stillwater MN. We are looking to relocate in the near future and would like a list of the towns (big and small) that are near the city over the border into Wisconsin.

Any links to local newspapers/classified ad sites would also be very helpful.

Thank you all in advance! :)
