Why is the war causing interest rates to climb?
Been house hunting for a while now. Our lender told us initially that the war would probably cause interest rates to drop. But, I keep seeing news that interest rates are rising, and our lender confirmed today that rates are now higher than they were.rnDon't rates usually drop during wars? why isn't that happening now?

Sell house and move or HELOC?
I have been in my house since 2019. It's small. My family is outgrowing it. rnCurrent house was $110k. Have about 75k left. Our mortgage is awesome. ~$800/mo. 4% interest rate. I am terrified of being house poor. We can definitely afford a higher monthly payment on a bigger house but with the current market I'm not sure a few extra hundred per month is going to get us a bigger house.rnrnI am considering a HELOC because we have a basement that would add so much room if able to finish it. The basement would need a ton of work. Probably 15k in sump and waterproofing before we could even put up walls, electricity, etc. I have some savings but I'd like to keep it for emergencies. Opinions?

Can I get a refund after purchase for work done?
WE bought a house and had it inspected, there were a few things but we didn't nit pick. We moved in a few months ago and started having work done. Turns out a light that we thought was just a burned out bulb was a whole electrical system completely messed up. They had open wires in the walls and things that were very not safe or up to code. They didn't tell us any of this and we didn't find it because we would have had to open walls to see. Can we go back and demand the seller pay for it? It's ridiculous!

Question about condemned properties and probate?
So, situation is... my friend lives at this house for about 3 years now. Gets mail at this address, him and his pregnant girlfriend abd there... 7 dogs... the owner of this house/ 40acre property has since passed away. It was, needless to say a city nuisance.. (trap house I'd say) they moved out some people that were living in abd around the house/ property and were told to clean it up. They put up a metal gate trying to keep people out. But it had been jammed through.. multiple times. People had brought stolen vehicles (allot, .. like allot) and it was pretty out of control. I forgot to mention. That they had to make their own very steep driveway because the lovely neighbors put up a code entry gate and blocked the right if way of the easement. And have continually vandalized and destroyed the makings of their new driveway with heavy machinery by putting down trees. Borders, ecology blocks, you name it... making it now unaccessible and hardly walkable. And continue to harrass and threaten anyone who goes up there. People have been shot at. Etc.. Anyway, the property has had cops up there pulling out stolen vehicles that have been dumped there. My friend has his dogs and all his belongings there. I called an detective and he said the property is condemned and is in probate.. what are their options? They just become homeless now?... mind you.. there is no power abd no water. The well line got crushed I guess thus last Summer and never fixed... abd the power... well. Someone thought he'd make some money in wire and cut it all the way from the house to the road. I can't even believe it... what a uncontrollable nightmare
