When would I need to sell to avoid paying capital gains?
I lived in a condo from 2018-2023 but then moved out and have been using the property as a rental. How soon would I need to sell it to avoid paying the capital gains tax in Florida? The property is worth $160,000 currently, the property was put in my name by a relative that paid $90,000 for it.
How do you get rid of a musty smell in the house?
We have a 1938 two-story colonial cream city brick home. We bought the house over 35 years ago, but we cannot get rid of this “musty” pungent smell. It has permeated on our clothes and belongings and we take it with us everywhere we go. What can we do? We have tried several things over the years: pulling up carpeting, reinsulating the walls, checking plumbing, using air filters, etc. Nothing seems to work. What else can we do???

Can I get a renovation loan and home loan simultaneously?
Can I get a renovation loan and home loan at the same time? I'm interested in purchasing a house that also needs a lot of renovation. I don't have enough cash for the renovation. So I'm wondering if I can add to my home loan? Or do I take out a second loan? What's the best way to go about this? Thanks!
Am I locked into an agent if I sign a buyer's agreement?
I met with an agent who said I need to sign a contract with them before I see any houses. Does that mean I'm locked into working with them? I'd like to see a few houses before deciding if I want to work with them.
Can I buy a house and have someone else pay the mortgage?
I'm thinking of buying a house for an aging parent. If I put the loan in my name, could my parent pay the monthly mortgage or a portion of the income? I want to help my parent, but I don't want it to appear as income on my taxes or be penalized for trying to help.

Mutual release form verse putting back on market?
If the seller hasn't signed the mutual release form they agreed to can they put the house back on the market? Can we make another offer before this takes place? It's at a impass because they arent agreeing to the issues which are major issues on the inspection like 22 year old furnace not functioning correctly and needs replaced. Like floors not properly installed.
Can I not have home owners insurance?
I know it's risky to not have home insurance. But it's so expensive and often unused. It's a chance we're thinking of taking. But are we required to have home insurance or can we not have home owners insurance?
