Answer by Trixi
I wouldn’t try this now, and you will most likely have a hard time finding investors. Real estate in Ohio is low priced now because the economy there is very bad, and since we are on the verge of a recession, things may not improve there for quite some time. If you insist on investing, you will most likely need to come up with the money yourself. There are a number of websites that allow people to request money from individuals, if you use one of these services, you can skip the banking fees and regulations. try www.prosper.com to learn more about services like this. Good luck!

Question by lynnski70: friend buying a home for us to rent?
My friend/co-worker offered to buy a home for us to do a rent-to-own from her until we can get a mortgage of our own. She just bought a house of her own to live in so what are the chances she’ll be approved by her lender for this “investment/rental” property?

Best answer:

Answer by chatsplas
POOR.
Need higher down payment and higher interest rate for non owner occupied property.
Her debt ratio will likely be too high at this point.
She needs a substantial down payment 20-30%, minimum.

In the 1950s, my Grandmother purchased a large house which had once been a mansion for the owner of an international rubber company. She divided the house into 5 apartments and over the years lived in each one while she rented the other 4.

In Grandma’s previous home, she rented rooms and took in boarders. When times were tough financially, she moved her family to the atti

Question by Uh huh, go on I’m listening: Anyone know a site/source to see what next years housing market “might” look like?
I know nothing is ever carved in stone…
But has any website (or source) yet released a statistical guesstimate/outlook for the mortgage market next year?

I’m just curious to know what next years housing market “might” look like…Drop/raise in prices, projected interest rates, estimated number of homes going up for sale/purchased… etc.

Best answer:

Answer by mark a
Prices are going to go down as interest rates, unemployment and the # of foreclosure rise. This will lead to an increase in supply and while demand will shift due to the uncertantiy of the right time to buy.

All of which will lead to a further downward spiral in prices.

Question by cammie: Should we just sell our house at a loss and move on?
We are living in VA and are ready to move back to FL where all of our friends and family are. Hubby now works from home so no job worries. We are really struggling with housing payment and the value dropped. If we sell, we’d probably lose 10K. It would take many years for house to improve in value to even be able to have a decent downpayment on a new house. Since we are struggling (we have a new baby now and I am out of work) and life is short (I miss home, family, friends, lifestyle in FL), wouldn’t it make more sense to move back “home” and rent for a while? Renting out our place is not an option since 1. we would be living 900 miles away and 2. the mortgage is high, not sure who would pay that as rent.
Hubby works in I.T… good paying job.

We would not let house foreclose. We would pay the 10k.

Best answer:

Answer by Free Thinker
If you mess up your credit by letting the house foreclose you will not be able to rent either. Get a good Realtor and request a short sale at least your credit won’t be in the trash as long.

ps You must be in default of your payments before the bank will consider you for a short sale
