  • Is there escrow with buying a house and a loan?

    Ok. I'm buying a home and they're talking about the escrow. Then the loan officer is talking about how I need escrow. So is it all the same? Or are these different escrows? And what does that even mean?

  • Can a house sale fall through at closing?

    The home seller has been very skittish throughout the selling process. We've had to jump through a lot of hoops just to keep the process moving because we really want this house. We're days away from closing and we're wondering if the seller can back out AT the closing? Even if we're half way though signing the paperwork and they back out, is that an option?

  • Are there benefits for rent to own?

    I'm considering selling my house. I'm not in a rush and wondering the best way to go about it. As a seller, are there any benefits for me if I do a rent to own agreement? I understand how that's good for the renter/buyer. But as the landlord/seller, is there any benefit for me?

  • 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 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?

  • What are red flags when buying a flipped house?

    What are red flags when buying a flipped house? I've seen some houses that clearly were quickly and cheaply flipped. Or some that look good, but I'm still concerned that it's poorly done and cosmetics are just covering problems.

  • Is it feasible to find rental home 2 wks before movein date?

    I am moving from Pennsylvania to Murfreesboro, Tennessee. My current rent contract ends June 18, so I'm really hoping to be able to move in to a rental home June 19 or 20 if possible. However, with my work schedule, the only possible opportunity I will have to visit the area in person and see homes is May 28 through June 3. I realize this is really cutting it close, as I've been reading that general rule of thumb is to start looking 30-45 days in advance. I have asked my current landlord to extend by 1 week, but not sure yet if this will be possible. I would like to use a realtor, my hope being that this will expedite process of finding a home within that 1 week opportunity (I'm sure I would end up wasting a lot of time trying to do it myself through Zillow or something). So my question really is, is this timeline feasible or am I setting myself up for failure by trying to make this work? I have a pretty good idea of what I'm looking for, Zillow suggests there are plenty of options that fit the bill in the area - if there was a suitable place found in that week I am visiting Tennessee, can the rest of the process of finalizing the contract be completed in the remaining 2 weeks? Anything you could share would be much appreciated.

  • Is it better to list a house for a higher price?

    We've interviewed a few real estate agents. They've given similar ranges for the value of our condo. Is it better to list at the top end to try to maximize what we get from the sale?
