Where can i browse the internet for home rentals in Carlsbad/Oceanside California?

January 242012

Looking for a good home for me and my new family. I need to move quickly so I need some help finding listings.

Pull up a map of Carlsbad and Oceanside that delineates the zip codes. Write the zip codes down and plug them into the various search sites for real estate rentals. It is very easy to find rentals when you search by zip code.

Another key thing to do is contact a realtor in the two areas and have him/her do your legwork for you. After all that’s their job and it’s free to you. The realtors know the areas so well and will save you a ton of time.

How do you purchase homes that have been forfitted due to taxes, and or find their listings.?

January 122012

My grandmother had several properties left to my uncle, which he lost to the city for not paying the taxes.

It is rare to find a home that only has taxes due.
That would mean there is no mortgage on the home.
Usually people will make a mortgage to pay the taxes.
Again, extremely rare to find homes with just taxes due.
Don’t listen to those infomercials.

Why have listings for homes in toronto gone down? Shouldnt they have gone up?

December 292011

With home prices in canada, especially toronto increasing, why have the listing for home for sales gone down? Care to explain? Thanks

Many people take their properties off the market for winter as moving in winter stinks. And not many buyers are out there stomping around in the snow to look. Therefore, rather than trying to keep the house market ready, they wait until spring.

Why cant I buy from the Adult Only Listings on Ebay using a mobile?

December 222011

I have total access at home to search and buy and sell. On my IPhone I can access all items on My Ebay and access the pages but when I click to buy/bid it says the listing has been removed or not available. Any help will be greatly appreceated.

eBay is still putting the finishing touches on their mobile shopping experience. Besides that, their Adult Only section is placed behind various layers of protection – age verification, non-API integration, etc. It’s possible they’re still a little iffy about allowing mobile access to that section. (When testing from your cell, I presume you make sure to first login from your age-verified account?)

Find a Real estate agent or Real estate brokerage company in your area that allows you to search MLS listings through their website. Then, when you do the search, just check the box to include manufactured homes and uncheck the box to include single family homes.

Can I buy a short sale with a VA Loan?

November 232011

We are looking to buy a short sale home. We have looked through all the available home listings with non short sale sellers and have found nothing. We are VA buyers and want to purchase a nice home that was just put up for sale for a "short sale". I know we need the bank to approve the sales price and I know that government loans have certain other requirements to consider but does anyone know that we can use our VA benefits for a short sale? Thanks in advance

Yes, however, you might want to consider your waiting time. Short sales have a history of taking forever to get acceptance on offers. You might be better off seeking out Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and even VA foreclosures. They answer offers within 24 hours. Short sales are tough because lenders aren’t willing to provide answers on a timely basis. It makes more sense to them financially to let the property foreclose.

How do I dispute the “replacement costs” that home insurance companies calculate for my house?

November 122011

We are purchasing our second home while we maintain the first one as a rental property. The home we are purchasing is $165,000 and was built in 1974. A simple search of real estate listings in our city shows that a new home in a nicer neighborhood (much larger, actually) can be purchased for 229,000 or less.

So far, all the home insurance companies are giving me quotes with a replacement value for my home ranging from 229k-249k. How is it possible that replacement costs for my older home could higher than purchasing a brand new home with more square footage in a better neighborhood? Is there a method of disputing these findings?

To dispute this I would do the following:

Contact one or two contractors [or even 3] and give them the specs on the house in question in terms of square footage, add-ons, updates etc. Even have them come over and look at the place. The contractors should be able to give you a reasonable figure telling you how much it would cost to rebuild your home as it stands now regardless of what new homes in other locations are fetching these days.

Just a note regarding "replacement" value. Replacement coverage of your contents is a separate issue from the replacement costs of the home itself. You can have replacement coverage insurance on the home itself but not on the contents if you so choose.
