I just faxed an application to a property managment company to apply for a lease on a new home. I am relocating to a new area for the campany I work for and need to find a new place to rent. My concern is that my credit history is very poor and I will not get approved to move into this new house. Although my credit is poor, I am paying on everything on time at the moment and my credit has begun to go back up but is still not good. If my application is denied, is there anything I can do to persuade them to allow me to move in and sign the lease for the property? Money is not an issue and I can even put down a little more than they are asking for with regards to the security deposit or pay 2-3 months worth of rent up front. Would this make a difference? Is there anything I can do?

I live in New Hampshire and I have been looking into buying a house. It seems to me that when house prices are low, interest rates are high, and when interest rates are low, house prices are high. Is there really a better time to buy a house compared to other times? Someone I know said we should wait because houses are not appreciating very well in the area right now, but, is this true? And is it better to continue renting? The prices in the area are outrageous at best, and I can’t believe that there is ever going to be a time when they are going to be lower. It seems to me that if appreciation continues at any rate, that ordinary people wont be able to afford a house at all. $200,000 plus for a small place seems crazy. Any input on this?

There is this bungalow for sale with near me. It is in a prime location and come with a substantial plot of land. But the building is hideous 80′s bad council design.

It has been on the market for 18 months..

I would like to buy the property for the land knock it down and build my dream home.

How can I be sure that I would get permission before I purchase.

Would be grateful for any advice!
