What I would pay for a monthy RENT or how much the house actually cost (which probably would be too good to be true).

I was searching for homes for sale (not rent) and this is one of the listings that came up. Can someone please help me understand…

I think someone entered the data wrong into the database. They probably left off 2 zeros (thinking they were "cents"). $350,000 is probably the actual price.

As for the rest of the web page — that is all automatic HTML or PHP code that calculates the rest of the (very low) numbers.

.

Please separate list by city, new home builder, real estate and mortgage company. Ideally, would like name, address, phone number and website. But, I would be satisfied with just names. thx

My mobile home has black mold and there is water damage that he didn’t inform me about. He predated my signature and what can I do?

WHERE is the mold and water damage and how extensive? HOW did he lie, I mean exactly, omission is not necessarily a lie if YOU did not ask the right questions? HOW did he predate your signature and for WHAT purpose was this done?

You purchased a trailer not a stick built and the rules follow alon the lines of a used car instead of real estate laws and your options are probably very limited. IF you did not see the damage then he can always say HE did NOT see or know about the damage either, especially if it was previously a rental.

I am in the market for buying a home in silicon valley California. I was visiting an open house and got talking with the agent there. According to her it is important that the buyers agent has over 3 years of experience. An offer will get accepted based on the $ amount offered, experience of the agent and how he/she presents the offer and how well known the buyer’s agent is. Hiring an agent who is relatively new and less known will definitely hurt the buyer.
I was wondering how true this is. Also what is involved in "presenting" an offer, what does the buyers agent do?
Thanks
MNN

I would call 3 years green. I would want 20 plus myself.

Connections count. Believe me, there is plenty of back scratching going on! The sellers will not know about it, but the agents can influance how fast and how to their liking certain things are done (like appraisals, inspections).

The only thing I can think of in "presentation" is getting everything correct. The offers are done on forms and there isn’t much to it.

I heard about a good auction at 777 Punchbowl. Do you know a useful website for current information about that? How did you get in?

For Sheriff’s Sales, foreclosures, tax sales and judicial sales as well as any other sales a county or state may have, you’re going to discover every county in every state/province/territory operates and does things a little differently than the one next to it – even when its in the same state or province.

It requires LOTS of time and diligence.

This is what I learned:

The best suggestions I can offer:

For the work which NEEDS to be done BEFORE the sale, there really isn’t any website.

1] Go to your county court house to the Sheriff’s Office. You might even be able to get the info you need on-line BUT there may be a charge for the on-line access.

2A] It doesn’t make any difference whether you live in a large city or a village/borough, make the investment of time to go to the County Court House or City Hall. Visit the Recorder of Deeds Office/County Clerk’s Office or whatever the office is referred. The names are different, but the Office’s function is the same: to record ALL REAL property documents.

The ladies and gentlemen in the City Hall or Court House are there to help the folks who come there to do business and take care of various matters about that city or county.

3A] Ask for the rules for Sheriff’s sales and foreclosures. AND ask for the information you need to participate and bid on property. Ask for a list or if they are hanging on the wall, grab one or two.

3B] JUST for practice you’ll need a specific, actual address – even if its your own, a friend or relative living in that same county or city. The property owner’s name would be very helpful. Ask an employee in that office how to research a property. Write down and/or remember each of the steps you are shown.

3C] After being shown what to do and how to do it, research the one or two properties you have at the Recorder of Deeds Office/County Clerk’s Office.

If you get stuck, ask for help.

4] If you are able to do the research, attend AT LEAST 3 of those Sheriff’s Sales. You aren’t going to bid on any property. You aren’t going to buy any property. You are there STRICTLY as an observer. You want to see how the process works.

5] At the sheriff’s sales and foreclosures, you’ll probably see the same faces at sale after sale.

Offer to take one of those folks to lunch or dinner and discuss your intentions.

Thanks for asking your Q! I enjoyed answering it!

Yes, that is my real last name!

i know to you that it may sound like a stupid question but i just realized that i wanna be a real estate agent . im trying to learn every thing i can about realestate while im still in my teenage years thanx

Not a stupid question at all. Yes, in many states the broker can act as a buyer or seller’s agent. In fact, think of a broker as being qualified by the state to represent clients on the purchase and the sale of property along with the ability to also manage other agents and review contracts.

My neighborhood was a quiet place with restrictive covenants. A business next to our neghborhood expanded to within 20 feet of my property and put a truck repair shop that works sometimes up till 10:30 at night . We have to hear air compressers run 24 7 , 18 wheelers pass within 30 feet of my bedroom and they call each other over an outdoor intercom system that you can hear for three or four blocks . A realestate agent told me i will never be able to sell like it is

Petition your county to have your home designated commercial. Then sell for about twice what it’s worth. P.S. Your agent is an idiot. You’ve literally just hit a financial jack pot.

What are my financing options available at the time of a sale of realestate property to compensate for monies owed mortgage company due to falling appraised value of the home? In other words, price/sale of home will not pay off the outstanding mortgage balance. Thanks.

You will have to ask the lender if they can do a short sale or personal, unsecured loan if you wish to sell your home for less than what you owe on it. Those are your two options.

If you’re already under contract to sell your home, you’d better start making some phone calls ASAP and have your Realtor help you with this.

Best of luck to you!

Alright, well my mom and I are thinking of moving to Palmdale but we can’t exactly afford a full priced home. So what I did was check the listings of foreclosed home. Now it says the loan balance is like 3,000 on average. Now on this page http://realestate.yahoo.com/California/Palmdale/Homes_for_sale/0dac4c81272c5cd9bcb396cce3090835;_ylt=AtW9lg8TWCjWcyS4ExQmn_LnMrQs?cc=realestate&p=Palmdale,%20CA&priceHigh=&priceLow=&nodeId=750007014&radius=&bedrooms=2&bedrooms=3&bedrooms=4&bedrooms=5&bathrooms=2.0&bathrooms=2.5&bathrooms=3.0&bathrooms=3.5&bathrooms=4.0&type=foreclosure&sortBy=price+1
it says the loan balance is $2238 but it also says the amount is $2238. So is that the price or what? Thanks in advance.

No, of course that’s not the price. What you are seeing is the amount of money which the current homeowner is in default on the loan. Assuming that this property is eventually fully foreclosed upon, the bank will offer it for sale at the current market value for the property. What they will accept to sell it may not be market value, but it will be FAR more than $2238.
