Any pointers? Like cheap houses to fix up and rent out.

Hi all you property hungry seekers out there!
I want to invest in buy-to-let property overseas but the problem is that I gonna have to borrow money for it. Is it possible to get a loan or a mortgage to buy property overseas? Few details follow: I am UK resident, EU passport, amount to borrow-about GBP 100 000. I rent in the UK but own a flat in other EU country. Possible countries to buy: Mexico, Portugal, USA.

Thanx a lot!

i have been a tennant in my property for the last 3 years but last year my real estate agency started asking for a key so they can enter the property? Can you refuse them to have a key or is it even legal for them to demand that?
only answers for the uk please, thank you!

So we are renting a cabin for 3 days in big bear, but when I asked the renter to send more pictures of the property she sent me to a side for real estate…I suppose she is selling her home. Can you still rent a home out for a 3 day vacation to someone, but the home is also on the market…? Is that possible??? Or is she scamming us? http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/42133-… that is the home we are supposed to be renting for 3 days

I rent a 1br in Brooklyn. it is my first time dealing with brokers in Brooklyn. I got approval from property management for 1br today. they want me to sign the lease on this coming Monday. I ask to meet with owner in person when I sign lease. They told me the owner is not able to show up. I am wondering if I should sign the lease without owner’s name on the lease. Is there anything I should be cautious when I sign my lease? Is there anybody out there who have similar experience? Your opinion will be helpful to me.

i havent paid october’s rent because i just dont have it what happens now

Our landlord hasn’t returned our phone calls in over a month. The city came and inspected our property and it’s safety requirements and our landlord had until Feb. 7th to fix the problems. We called him at the end of January and he has yet to return our calls or voicemails. We didn’t send him rent which was due no later than the 3rd hoping he would contact us, and it is now the 12th and he has still not contacted us. What can we do? I am in Texas.

i have given notice on my property that i rent from a private landlord. Do i have to allow the estate agents access to the property for viewing while i still live their?

I paid a deposit of one month rent and signed a lease effective Oct. 1st. I have not moved in. My circumstances have changed and I will not be moving there. The landlord wants me to be responsible for the next 12 months rent. What are my obligations?

I have an appartment, 2 bethrroms and 2 bathrroms, in a beatifull resort area, Pools, Beaches, private marina birth for a 40 foot boat. The property is valued at $160,000.00. How much can I charge monthly for rent.

We’re moving and considering our options on what to do. We have a total of about 30K in debts from a student loan, a home equity loan, and an auto loan. We also have a home where we still owe the same amount as when we first purchased it, but the value of the house has increased by at least 50%. We both have good jobs and are able to pay down the debt that we owe at a rate of about 5-7K/yr. We are considering two options for our future finances. Which one is better?

A) If we sell the house, we could sell it for enough of a profit where we could pay off our 30K in debts, and still have enough money to put down 10% on a new house. The money that we are using to pay off debt would now become additional income for us. So we could be entirely debt free.

B) Keeping the house and opening it up for a rental property. We would have to continue to pay off our debt, but at a faster rate b/c we have a new source of income. This ~$500/mo could be long term after our debt is gone.

A or B?
Staying in the house is not an option for us. We are being relocated because of work.

Im on a small income and it is impossable to buy a property so I can live in my own house. even when I have been paying rent I cannot get a morgage, even at the same expense.

My uncle makes money by charging people rent for living in his duplex

please give me a lot of ideas or website links for more
like if I wanted to buy property and make money renting it out to people in Miami
what should I know about this or real estate in general? I just turned 18

I have always had near perfect credit scores all my life. Now with the economy taking a nose dive I can’t rent out my vacation rental home any more.

It was renting for $750. a week which was my main income. The rental is on my farm property so I can not sell it. It is rented for a very meager amount.

I can’t fill bankruptcy in the state of NC.because your home can’t be worth more than $18K. My home is worth $500.K and I can’t sell it now because I will lose out big time. This property is paid for and this is all I have to my name.

I have an attorney working on my disability case that will take months for me to receive a little monthly income.
If I pay the credit card companies $25, a month will this keep them from taking a lean out on my house? Can they make me sell my house?

How long does it take for them to take action???

The interests rates now have these 3 cards up to 35K

What can I do? I worked all my life for this log home and farm.
I’m an international known artist that has worked hard to get where I am. I’m 62 female and single if that helps any and can’t work any more due to an illness.

Help! Any answers would be so much appreciated.

Thank-you for any help!

Reena, I checked out a reverse mortgage and they will only give me 1/2 of what this place is worht then they take about 1/3 in fees out.

I receive a small pension from the military and with a property qualifying for Section 8 can get by okay. Has to be in either of those two countries for me to get rental assistance. Not working so no job to consider, just don’t know where I want to live. Used to live in Addison, PLano, Farmers Branch, Lakewood and now in NE Dallas. Would like to get out of city somewhat. Quiet, peaceful, cheap. Any ideas?

Well, my friends and I have decided to take a trip to Puerto Rico, San Juan to be exact. There will be a total of six people, possibly seven. All other trips we have stayed at a timeshare or something like that because of the number of people.

I am wondering if there is anybody willing to rent one out to us for a week in March (March 10th-17th). We are looking for something that isnt too far away from the night scene and close to resturants. We are all adults so you do not have to worry about us disrespecting your property or damaging anything. And if nobody is willing to rent one out, would you kindly point me in the direction of acquiring a place.

And if anybody has any suggestions on where to stay or what to do while there would be great as well. I am open to any helpful suggestions. Thanks
Thanks.

My roommate and I are moving to a different rental property but would rather not pay rent to two different landlords the month that we’re moving. Is there a common method of moving that doesn’t include this extra expense?

I just bought a home with the VA. I want to buy another property a year from now. Can I use an FHA loan to buy it and rent out my VA property?

My uncle, brother, and sister are trying to evict me from the house because I wont be able to pay my rent because I just lost my job. I have a lease, and I’m on the deed as an owner. What remedies do they have, and does the lease get trumped by state law?

I’m selling a property and the Solicitor seems to be taking a merry time over getting the legal work finished. I understand that he in turn has to wait on others but I have been phoning him week in week out for two months or more now when I was originally told that because it was only a small property it wouldn’t take long and the buyer was very keen to complete.

Every time I phone the Solicitor seems to have a ready (and new) excuse, yet I asked him if it was likely to be this side of Christmas as I was having to find a place to rent in the short term. If I’d rented when he’d intemated then I would have paid two months rent so far for nothing, while the sale property lay empty!

It’s got to a rediculous stage where I feel guilty for bothering him!

Having sold only one other property before this behaviour seems to be nothing but typical, but does anyone know what I can say to motivate him as my pleas don’t seem to have any concern at all?
