What constitutes a legal bedroom in MA?
Can a room be considered a "bedroom" if it's a throughway to another bedroom? (Example, bedroom "A" has 1 door and windows. However that rooms only door exits into a "secondary" bedroom/ Bedroom B. So Bedroom B has 2 doors, one to enter Bedroom A & one door to get into a mudroom, then living room and kitchen. ) Picture the floor plan as a squared U almost lol. It works, but not well at times lol. Thanks you and Happy Holidays everyone

Is there a difference between a selling and buying agent?
I want to sell my house. I talked to an agent that has only helped people buy houses, but he wants to help me sell my house. I'm wondering if he lacks experience or training and if he's qualified to sell since he hasn't done it before.
Should I take my house off the market for the holidays?
Should I take my house off the market for the holidays and then relist in January? Or is it better to just leave it on. I don't want to deal with showings during the holidays and I think it will be slow anyway. If I take the house off the market and relist does that look bad? Or is it bad if I leave the house on the market and it sits for days and days? Then it seems like the listing is dead
Can you purchase land with a credit card?
We found a plot of land that we like. We can cover most of the cost, but have about $20K that we need to finance. Instead of going through the bank and a mortgage, we're thinking of simply putting it on a credit card that we'll try to aggressively pay off. There's options for low interest cards for the first year, and that may benefit us. Is this even possible though?

Can I bring my dog to a showing?
Can I bring my dog to a showing? I'm spending hours seeing houses, and can't be away from my dog for that long. It's so hard to find a home and I want to start taking my dog with me. Maybe my dog will help lead me to a good home and I'd like to start taking him with me to the houses.
Can I modify an offer contract after the inspection period?
Can I modify an offer contract after the inspection period? We put an offer on a house, had the inspection and negotiated a new offer contract based on the inspection. We didn't want to lose the house and so we didn't ask for the seller to do much to fix the issues. Since then we've gone back to the house and some of the issues that came up in the inspection feel bigger than we initially thought. We don't want to walk away from the house, but we're wondering if we can go back to the seller and ask them for repairs or money for these repairs.
Is a loan from a seller a bad idea?
Is a loan from a seller a bad idea? The seller is offering a loan as part of the deal. The interest rate is below what I could get from a bank, but I'm worried about a shady deal.

Can an agent enforce payment of non mandatory POA dues?
My community has a POA. Our covenants have no mandatory dues written or listed anywhere in them. Our POA board interchanges the use of HOA/POA terminology to illicit mandatory dues from property owners selling their homes and land. The POA a few years back hired a property management company who were also real estate agents to manage the financial side of the association. In doing so they were given a set of bylaws stating the association had mandatory dues. These bylaws did not align themselves to our covenants. Anyone not paying those annual dues were told they would have to pay when selling their property at closing. The management company shared this information with all the other realtor groups in the county. Also, informing title companies there was a transfer fee to be paid by seller at time of closing. If the seller refused to pay any " outstanding" fees the sale of property could /would be jeopardized and risked the sale not going through. This situation is illegal, the covenants do not subscribe to mandatory fees of any description in the entirety of the document, and therfore real estate companies have no right to enforce this and should stop demanding this from sellers. How can we stop real-estate agents giving potential buyers false information about mandatory dues and transfer fees, and forcing sellers to pay for fees that are not mandatory?

Is an ARM loan risky?
Is an ARM loan risky? I'm considering taking out an ARM loan at a lower interest rate with the hope of refinancing before the rate increases. Is this a good idea to save money on interest now while the rates are high? Or is it too risky?
