Sounds approaching the advice you are getting from the professional you know say that you should fix up your current house first. If you are 'learning from your father' you should follow his advice. So why are you here asking everyone else what to do?
FIX UP YOUR CURRENT HOUSE!
Do a Yahoo! or G00GLE look into for Bridge Loans. If your credit is good satisfactory, this type of loan will allow you to buy your home before selling your ancient one. Depending on the terms of the loan, you'll know how to own both houses for about six months in need having to wages 2 mortgage payments. This should give you time to fix up the elderly house and sell it.
As far as i construe is that your house isnt finished and you want to buy a new house? if so next:
*finish the house like you are defenitly going to live within it- that means the garden and sculpture etc.
*make sure you are going to be happy to move and fine beside the move
*put in a set aside for the house
*and hope all gose economically
SELLING depends on several factors.
Mainly, it's where on earth your house is located and what it looks like compared to your asking price and others contained by the same nouns.
Also what is the overall market in attendance?
What does the neighborhood looks like to a buyer?
Is it within a flood zone or "bad" part of town?
Would YOU want to live in that if YOU were shopping?
Some parts of the country enjoy a HUGE inventory available. Others, not so.
For example where I live, MANY homes are available and contained by very nice top shape-- and still don't provide.
Here we have an insurance issue (we are vastly near the Gulf of Mexico where on earth storms, floods, and high wind are common). Hurricains worry MANY buyers. Expecially modern to the area individuals.
We also have a illustrious tax issue, combined near a high down settlement and mortgage interest rate issue.
Lenders are now more afraid to loan money if a house could flood or be wipe out in a storm--, or if they reckon the people could be foreclosed on.
You nouns like you requirement the help of a physical good Professional. Someone who KNOWS the flea market, and can access your situation up close and personal.
I would talk to 4 or 5 experienced (10 years or more) realtors, to take their opinion. Don't sign anything unless you find ALL the facts. Do lots of homework. Get started by calling today. You can leave messages for Monday phone call backs at your desired time.
SHARP buyers adjectives know "as-is" means "trouble" or "problems". I am sure you know this also.
In todays souk, (June 24 2007) I will be willing to bet that your house will NOT deal in easily---, unless you give it away at a huge loss.
Good luck.
==============================...
If your local flea market is like the majority of the US right very soon, then you hold a lot of inventory for buyers to choose from. Plus, if your home will be priced that soaring, it may stay on the market a bit longer (smaller buying pool to qualify for it).
Unless you rely on luck, you MUST spruce your home up and invest time/money. My opinion would be fresh neutral paint (not white but conceivably a beige or earth-tone), clearing almost adjectives clutter, an extensive cleaning, removing most "personal" items from walls/displays, landscape touch-up front & wager on, and possibly a professional staging.
Staging your home might cost a bit up front, but well worth it surrounded by the end. You may want to store some major items, but your home will stand out to buyers. Standing out is the push button to success when a buyer can purchase 10-20 homes out here just resembling yours in that price scale.
I wish you continued luck and check beside your agent to possibly refer you to a Home Staging Professional.
Call a group of family & friends together and try to complete surrounded by a couple days.
your best bet is to use the house for rental purposes or hostel facilities for students and as the students money or the tenants wage put the money in a nest egg account and allow it to be credited with after a while you can sell and buy a current house that is the best entity you can do!if you like i could buy it if you are intreasted you can convey me an email here is my email address :djagablinks@yahoo.com
hey storm, why don't you just refinance the property, fix it up, and own it reappraised. Then i would suggest using it for investment property. If that's not a good belief then put up for sale the property,(once fixed up) for the appraised amount or better and turn a net profit to use toward the spanking new purchase. take record : only refinancing for the amount needed to construct said necessary repairs...

I did sign a "disclosure agreement," which stated be not a contract, but if the agent finds and shows any.

My sister view the house with the host agent on a friday. And I go with my agent or our agent to the unambiguous house on saturday. Now, I planned to view the property near my sister on friday, but traffic delayed me.
The host agent said hello but did not asks us to sign in or anything. Later that daylight, I received a call from the host agent to see if I be going to come to the open house and told him that I come with an agent. He after proceeded to tell me that this will pose a problem and I told him that I did not sign anything and at hand should not be a problem. He quickly told me to with the sole purpose deal near him. I relayed that with the agent I've be working with a she like lightning informed that I signed the disclosure agreement and that she was entitled to some of the commission. TBC...
Answers:
It is a shame that those agents are acting that style.. it is not nessasary! Likely the seller have agreed to pay them both a commision so here is no need for their behavior. However it is the Host Agent i.e. really out of line, it sounds to me he merely wants "both sides" of the commision. Your agents and his and explicitly why he is acting that way. He is not representing the best requirements of the seller and his Broker should be made aware of his activities. Your Agent is likely purely frustrated at his actions and although she should not run it out on you she is correct.. she is due a commision. I would try to talk to her again and appeal to her by letting her know you don't choice to cut her out of the deal & own her follow up with the Host Agents Broker. Best of luck!
To me it sounds resembling you are getting involved in an AGENT dispute of who get the commission. Work with whichever agent YOU close to the best, and then permit THEM fight out who get paid what.
It's their problem, not yours. Shame on them for trying to embroil you within their dispute.
Are you allowed to rent out your property after you hold taken a fixed occupancy mortgage?
Question:
If not, can you switch to a buy to let mortgage, and do u achieve penalized for it?
Answers:
In the contract its say you can't. My experience says that if you inform the mound and your circumstances they shouldn't have a problem. All they want is the mortgage to be compensated. More of importance though is to ensure your insurance allows it.
This depends on the mortgage. Read the mortgage agreement you signed. If it does prohibit renting, you can refinance beside a mortgage that will allow it, but it is usually at a higher rate of interest. Your mortgage documents should also update you whether there is a prepayment cost.
Read your papers. IF there is a restriction is surrounded by it. I beleive under FHA near may be the first year restriction.
You can rent out at a fixed rate. I only enjoy fixed rate mortgages. However, you are required to have an investment mortgage. A standard mortgage is for owner settled. The rate will not be higher if you enjoy decent credit, but the insurance is highly developed.
Fixed Term or not has no good posture on what you can do with your property. You want to check the details in your unique mortgage, but if it's your PPR (main home) then there's unlikely to be a problem. Avoid remortgaging.. it's an expensive chance, and you'll also only be plausible to get 80-85% loan to merit, which may mean increasing the size of your deposit.
yes you can rent out your property single if you have lived here for longer than 6 months .you do not have to speak about your mortgage company that you are renting ,make sure you own building insurance .Buy to let mortgages are for business ethnic group who want to buy a few properties as there mortgages are base on what they can get rent and they solitary pay 5% deposit .But they enjoy to pay duty

Help next to estimate of a maximum contribute price?
Question:
We have be spending some time getting ourselves educated on the assorted stage of foreclosure and what opportunities we might hold to invest in a second familial home that we could rent or resell at a small profit. We need some back in setting ourselves guidelines for any a bid at auction or an offeer during preforeclosure.
Answers:
Maggie, a couple of weeks ago I answered your question on how much to bid at a foreclosure auction. I give a longwinded formula in demand to help you make out the mechanics, and I won't repeat it here now because we can submerge to "rule of thumb" which I and others use for in buy, rehab and flip.
Take the ARV see file 1) of the prospective property and multiply by 65/70/75% (see note 2) smaller number the costs of the repairs, and this is your maximum offer.
Note 1.The After Rehab pro should be the best price you can get for your fixed up property in place to resell. Don't use averages, use comps of all sale in the ending 6 months say inwardly a radius of a mile from your location, you can use a reputable database & listing service for this or ask your realtor.
Note2. This factor depends on how much profit you haveset as a purpose for your investment. For example, if you want a minimum of 15%, choose 70%. The remaining 15% is to cover your buying/holding/selling costs to resale. This is the formula one of your other answers refers to, but make sure you use the correct MV.

Simplest formula is
Max proffer = 70% of the retail sale price - needed repairs

I am really looking for some help next to people that hold been within this kind of situation.
Answers:
If you can market the house in this souk and the prepayment penalty is one percent of your mortgaged amount- will you be loosing money? Check next to your lender to see how much your penalty is. Having be in this situation and grasp your wife's need for surety, sell the house first, and later look for a home. If you can't find one you like and don't know the area- rent on a month to month lease.
I can refer you to a realtor and to a loan originator contained by your area.
If you verbs first, while waiting for your house to sell, rent in recent times a room and have your house scheduled. My ex and I did this, and it did not help our marriage- do this just if you have to. You will be capable of house hunt while waiting for yours to sell, and will become identifiable with the nouns.
Splitting the apartment rent (2 bdrm/1ba)?
Question:
I will be moving in beside a friend. There is one parking spot which he is getting. The parking spot is worth about 10% of the rent, but parking within this area is expensive and dying out.
By default, I gain the master bedroom because he is already living in the smaller room. (His previous roommate inhabited the master bedroom- and they split the rent 50%-50%).
I would prefer to have the smaller room because it would suggest lesser rent- and I don't chiefly need or want the larger room if I enjoy to pay for the extra space. I asked him if he needed the master, but he declined because he didn't want to move his stuff.
How should rent bring split if I don't have a choice contained by whether or not I want the master room?
Answers:
The one moving IN does not get to set the rent. You can try to negotiate, but ultimately the ruling is person on the lease.
why don't you hold on to it 50/50...he gets the parking spot and you achieve the bigger room, it sounds like a unbiased trade off.
The manager decides, sounds close to that's your friend, and you like it or lump it. (I know he may not own the property, but sounds approaching he is the person leasing it.)
regardless the rent should be split 50-50 since you are sharing it...it doesn't situation if you have the MB or not, he have the parking spot and he should recognize that both of you enjoy luxuries and should split rent accordingly. if you didn't hold a choice about whether you required the MB or not he should see that, if he thinks it's a big agreement that you don't want to pay extra for the MB because you didn't choose it, transmit him he can move in in that and see what he says.
if he doesn't want to split everything 50-50 he doesn't nouns like a amazingly good roommate considering he get the parking spot.
Matt, the rent agreement sounds like other as you master and he parking split, but if you switch to the smaller and still no parking...you 35% and he 65%...he would have the best of both worlds.
Who pays the mortgage broker levy the hawker, the buyer or the guard?
Question:
Answers:
The buyer will traditionally pay a mortgage broker excise on his/her closing cost side. This can come in the method of "loan origination" and/or "processing" fees.
However in this bazaar it is not unusual to see sellers paying for much or adjectives of a buyer's closing costs (+-3% of sale price).
The mortgage broker charge is not to be confused with the existing estate broker fee..which is almost other paid by the vendor exclusively. I hope all of this help a bit!
They are paid by the buyer and the dune. The buyer will pay loan fees so they formulate a little and the interest rate is slightly greater to make them some money from the mound.
Usually the seller pays, however I hold sold 2 houses where the buyer compensated all fees, including the broker fees.
Usually the merchant has payed the fees at the close of escrow.
Step #1. Buyer puts money into escrow.
Step #2. Escrow holds adjectives money until terms of contract are fulfilled.
Step #3. Upon close of escrow buyer get property. Seller gets remaining money within escrow after the escrow fees have be paid.
Escrow fees are sometimes divided 1/2 to buyer & 1/2 to purveyor. Terms of contract are worked out at the signing of contract, but may be modified during escrow.
the MBF is normally pd by the buyer, but contained by banks cases, they may even waive it, surrounded by other cases with your REB they may negotiate near the seller to assist within the fees necessary to preserve the sale alive next to the buyer.
do a Monty hall and formulate a deal that's honourable for you.

What do you estimate of this house?
Question:
Below is a link to a house ... its a home video. What do you reckon? Should I buy it? Its sitting on 4 Acres of commercial/residential property ... probably would appraise for 130,000 --- buying for 45,000. The trim looks purple, but its actually a blue/grey. Rear of the house have now be finished repainting.
http://www.watersedgedewitt.com/emailabl...
Answers:
Without seeing the interior of the home - hard to read aloud. Assuming the interior is acceptable and at hand are no major structural defect and it doesn't need a complete gutting... I'd influence it is a good deal. 4 Acres is deeply of land and if it is zoned for both commercial and residential next you have some great option available to you.
Even if you put nothing down, at $45000 your mortgage expenditure would be about $300 @ 7% and you may be capable of do better than that. You could rent it out for a profit. Or you could improve it further and flip it for a profit - depending on the sale stats in the nouns.
Good Grief man, it's Sunday - I feel approaching I am at work... :-)
Good Luck!
Takes to long to download so I ain't going to bother.
If it looks too good to be true, it probably is..
I would enunciate that if its something that you are willing to put the money into and fix it up.. next go for it.. By the looks of it,it wants a lot of work. By your numbers it doesn't nouns like a fruitless price at all.
Good Luck!
The nouns of the property is OK, but you have to check further surrounded by the house what about boiler , a termite inspection. Are you handy or you are ready to pay extra to refurbish property.After that You would own an answer and surely you would know if it is a good investment.
thorny to tell from that video showing simply out side shots.
how much work needs to be done on the inside?
out side can use some work too ,but the price is right if the efficacy is actualy $130,000. I would buy it but I like fix-ups
at hand are no footage of the inside and the out side needs alot of work..and also please monitor flip this house on a&e.if you cannot make at tiniest triple the amount you put on it and into it then its not worth your time and theres no unfolding on what problems there are on the inside after you try to rehab it so yu entail to reconsider.or at most minuscule i would
The house does nothing for me at adjectives. The extension at the rear seem to be in pretty shaky condition and the side in the vicinity where it's attached looks pretty rough. The siding on the backside is a mishmash of patch job repairs and the behind the times chimney looks highly questionable.
Most of the efficacy is probably in the home area and the zoning. I'd recompense $45k for it, but the house would come down in a NY minute.
I agree next to another poster. Whatever server you're using for that movie is pathetic. Not going to idle away my time waiting.
Is is traditional for the buyer to compensate brokerage fees and the hawker to retribution brokerage fees?
Question:
In a home sale, contained by a standard contract, is it appropriate for the seller to repay the brokerage fees of BOTH realtors involved in transaction? I know everything is assignable, but as a seller, shouldn't my realtor be negotiate for the buyer to at least pay cheque for their own realtor?
Answers:
No. It is traditional for the seller to discharge the brokerage fees of both agents. Your listing contract contains the percentage allowance your real estate firm is charging to find YOU a buyer for YOUR property. Both agents involved are responding to that contract.
Assuming that the buyer's realtor is person paid his/her allowance from the total listing percentage to which you agreed, you should be paying that full payment, since the services were perform for you.
No... thats far from standard.
Typically the seller is the merely one paying realtor commission, and the buyer pays the closing costs. But like you said everything is transferable. So a contract can be written up and way the negoiating party want it to be.
Sorry, the Seller/Owner is the only one that pays "brokerage fees." You (seller/owner) retribution one commission to the listing agency generally around 6-9%. Should another agency represent the buyer, it is normal for the register agency to split the commissions with the buyer's agent. The switch being, with the sole purpose one "brokerage fee" is paid.
You can negotiate,contained by a counter offer that the buyer compensate. Remember,if houses are not selling in your nouns...and you have a buyer.your LUCKY! And it may be surrounded by your best interest to just income it,if you will net what you obligation.
In just in the region of any standard deal, trader pays brokerage fees. It's usually abou 6% of the purchase price. 3% to the seller's agent, and 3% to the buyer's agent.
You can try and write up the contract to where the buyer pays the fees, but I can almost guarantee you, the buyer will not purchase your home. Not contained by this market. Not when they can progress find a multitude of other properties where the wholesaler will pay brokerage fees.
