    Buyer's Agent for New Construction?

    why use an agent and get only 30% of the commission when you can just deal with the builder and get 100% of the commission. most builder will give 3% out of there marketing budget. tell them that you want that 3% somehow and work something out. i am sure they will deal with you. i got my 3% in a...

    OC Craigslist and MLS

    i have heard of renters getting money from the bank to move out. so renting from a floplord isn't all bad. maybe you can move in and stop paying him or delay the rent payment, since the floplord is strap for cash, he probably won't go after you for the money either. heheheheeee screw them on...

    Is this legal?

    Graphix- i think it is a hit and miss. i have read some of your advice, tried it but it is not working with any success for me. you could be right.... my agent could be slacking cause she keeps trying to tell me to go for an REO cause they are easier then a short sale. even my new boss who is a...

    "Just something for people to consider. Being a little bit of a devil's advocate here. Buyers itching to own something should understand that waiting 2-3 years may only improve their affordability by a couple of hundred bucks per month at the time they buy... " IPOPLAYA- i think you...

    Brightwater Huntington Beach reduced 300k?

    who in their right mind would buy a million dollar home built on a burial site? i wonder if the buyer who already bought the house will have any rights to back out and get all their money back, or would they be force to sell at market price back to the builder?

    OFHEO lifts caps for FRE, FNM

    i read the article. it reminded me of other programs during 1930 where the government own like 14% of all mortgage. even though we are not in a recession, the gov is pulling out all the tricks from their bags just to make things easier on the housing market?

    Can somebody please check out this home???

    Why would anyone buy a lease land condo to start with? it is like buying a mobile home. you have to pay the bank for the loan, pay the land own for your place to sit on it. heck it is just like renting. just that you pay more for something and you have to take care of it too.

    How Low Can Home Prices Drop?

    IMO.... i think the people who live in irvine have more money or more access to money thus they will hold out longer and try to stay in the house as long as possible. but once the time fuse run out and it will then there will be more house for sale and thus inventory will go up. and as IR...

    dead people in the house?

    i think bk is right. violent death is never good. natural death is ok.... it just take time for the spirit to go away. plus when you move in you should get your house bless by a priest or who ever.... the cost isn't much but it is well worth it imo. if you got a really bad one. get a...
