If you are paying a person to purchase a house and your name isn't?

The receiver doesn't have the option to just turn a payment into interest only.  You first need to consult the loan agreement as to how the payments are to be applied.  If the agreement allows him to do that, you are getting screwed because you will never pay down the loan and you will be in debt on the property forever.\nIf the payments are interest only, you can deduct that amount on schedule A.  You should receive a Form 1098 from them detailing the exact interest amount.  If you did not receive one, request one.\nJust a note - the cancelled checks may not be enough to substantiate the deduction.  You will also need the loan agreement or the Form 1098.

Instead of getting a loan and the other person trying to sell through an agent, your monthly rent or so much of your monthly rent goes to the owner or their mortgage. Once you have paid the amount in then the title is handed off to you.

Take your contract to a lawyer and look for an opt out.  Homeowner associations are notoriously corrupt.  For instance they can force a sale of property by claiming they never got your money and then their friend buys it up at a forclosure auction that isn't advertised.

Often that means that they have to change their title deed to reflect the new mortgage company.  These records are often public records that you can request at your county recorder. They might even have an online system.  Our county does... personally I find it kind of scary what people could find out this way.

Referrals fees or agreements between licensed agents/brokers are allowed.  Otherwise, I believe it is a kickback and illegal.  I also found an article from the Seattle Times that might help. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/realestate/2002660974_harney04.html

Depending on where you live you may choose to "name" you flat. In the UK some houses (apart from having a street address and house number) also have a name. After that, all you have to do is just give the name of the house to whomever sends you bills and maybe change the name on your letterbox.

Yes n if that person don't pay they WILL come after you for the money and it will ding up your credit if they are making no or late payments!  Think long and hard before you ever co-sign no matter WHO it is!

If your name is not on the deed then it can be sold without your permission but if you can prove you have made repairs and not been paid, then you should be able to place a lien against the property to prevent the sale until you are paid.

no. they come off the value of your house when you go to sell it. meaning less profit for the you to show the irs.

No, it is not technically "your" money. It is the owners option to fix the gate or to leave it and pocket the money. It will be his loss in the future, if he ever decides to sell the property or whatever, he'll wish then (after the $$ is long gone) that he went ahead and fixed it now- just let it go and don't stress about it

There are several issues here.     Let's start with the appraisal.  Appraisers are regulated and appraisals are valid if performed in complaince by a licensed real estate appraiser.  If your buyers are getting financed on the purchase, an appraisal will, in all probability, be required.  If they are not financing it, no appraisal will be required so you may never know the home's real value.\n\nThe fact that your sister's home may be valued higher than yours would not be unusual if her home is bigger, in better condition, or just not comparable to yours.  Just because a house is next door doesn't mean the values will be the same.  There are a lot of things that factor into value. \n\nNext, if you signed an agreement to sell the home for $200,000,\nyou have entered into a contract to sell at that price.  it may, and I stress MAY, be too late to change that now.  The may comes in because the Realtor must disclose that the buyer is a licensed Realtor.  If he did not do so in writing on the sales agreement, you may have a case to void the contract.\n\nFinally, that Realtor has absolutely no business bringing in anyone to move you or tell you what can be moved.  He has no rights to enter your property at all without your permission until such time as the buyer's loan documents and your deed awarding them the title to the property have been signed and recorded.  Until that day, the home is yours and yours alone.\n\nAt best, what has occured here is an example of horrible communications.  At worst, you're being swindled and taken advantage of. \n\nYou say you cannot afford a lawyer.  I say you cannot afford not to consult one.  You can pay the lawyer's fee from the proceeds of the sale. \n\nAt least make an effort to protect yourself.  Call legal aid, call  your pastor, call an advocacy group for people with your disability.  Help is out there, please go get it.\n\nI'll pray for you.

If there is no mortgage in the M-I-L's name, have a title company prepare a quit claim deed and then you all sign it and file it with the county-- total should be under $100.\n\nIf there is a mortgage in your M-I-L's name, she has to stay on the house until you finance it under your name.

Legally, the appraiser's client (the lender) is the one that ordered the appraisal for the loan.  Therefore, he is the one that needs to be responsible for the payment.\n\nUsually, the appraiser would want the money at time of appraisal to avoid this type of predicament.\n\nHave you contacted the appraiser to see if he can change the lender's name to the new lender?  The appraiser typically charges a small fee for it, but may be worth it.

Ask a lawyer this one. In my state if his name is still on it the house wouldn't be considered a gift but I don't know about Nevada.

Yes, I am a mortgage broker also, you are not committed to him unless this is a purchase and you dont have much time left.
