Real Estate

Hey everyone! I am interesting in renting a 1 or 2 bedroom furnished vacation home/apartment/condo in Melbourne. I have only found a few listings…and most of them are 3 or 4 bedrooms and $8000 a month…way too much room and way too pricey. I’m looking to spend no more than $4000 per month, and I definitely don’t need that much room. Can anyone give me some ideas of websites or rental agencies that could help me? Thanks for the info!

Greetings:
Looking to move from Philadelphia to the Atlanta metro area…Although I am divorced with no children; I would ideally like a property with 3-4 bedrooms to allow me to set up my IT office at home.
Price range up to 1,400 monthly excluding utilities…any suggestions on areas to look, and/or any websites that might offer some listings. Thanks in advance,

I’m a Real Estate Agent in Atlanta and can help. When are you moving?

I’ve heard people tend to remove their listings when it’s slow during the winter. Would that mean fewer homes for sale? Wouldn’t it make sense to leave it on just in case there’s a surge in buyers some some reason?

Some people do not want to go through the effort to keep their house "market ready" during the slow months and holidays. Traveling, visiting family, holiday events sometimes take priority. And some people do not want to move during that time of year. But if you do not have those issues, I would leave it on the market.

I want to look at foreclosed homes for sale in my area, but don’t want to go through tons of scam sites to find them. I also want to avoid paying for a listing, if I can.

Any local realtor will know all of those properties. They are also listed in the country courthouse since foreclosure proceedings go through the courts.

They are still in the MLS for at least 2 year. If you need to back further you need access to the archives, call your MLS for the access. They store in 6 month blocks. They might charge you for access as it is not part of what you normally pay for.

I want to buy a house… what do I do first? Do I buy a new home? perviously owned? what a good interest rate? I don’t know were to start! Every agent I speak to wants to sell me one of their listings. I just need some honest help on what to look for and what questions to ask, whats a interest rate, a good motrgage payment, etc. My credit is pertty good about 750 & I make about 70,000/year, have a few large bills like tuition, car payment & some mics, stuff. to pay. IS that goos enough to buy a home? What price range should I be looking for? I live on the border of Texas & NM. Any web sites that can help a first time home buyer? Help me with real estate jarjon, etc…

First, you need to figure out what’s important for you in a house. I suggest creating a “nice to have” list and a “don’t care about” list. In other words, make a list of what is important for you in a house. Are great schools a major factor in where you want to live? Is access to public transportation important? Nearby parks? Proximity to your job? Do you prefer urban, rural or suburban living? What isn’t important to you? Make this list and then you’re ready to start

Start with open houses in an area where you might want to live. You can walk through homes and get a feel for what’s on the market. Then, you also may want to consider a buyer’s (real estate) agent, but, that’s not really my area of expertise.

What I can help you with is “the basics” of shopping for a mortgage. Keep in mind, the interest rate isn’t really as important as the impact on your monthly budget. How much of a payment (don’t forget to include taxes and insurance!) can you afford each month? Knowing the answer to this question will help you find out your target home price. And don’t forget to include in your home-buying budget expenses such as closing costs, appraisals, fees, ect. You really need to talk to a mortgage professional as soon as possible to get specific information.

Overall, your credit score and income sound solid, but don’t forget that there are four parts to getting approved for a mortgage: income, credit score, assets and the property itself.

Check out the link below for a complete walk-through of the first-time home buyer’s process. I think you’ll find most of your questions answered there. I hope this information helps.

On the radio the other day I heard a song that was about a father telling his son that he loves him in his own way. Some of the lyrics were about how the son is going to college and the dad checks everything in the car then tells him to call his mom sometimes. Then later he is married and living in a new home and his dad fixes it up to make sure it is safe for his son to live in, bu going back and forth to the hardware store. I thought tge song was by Bucky Covington but I can’t find it on any of his track listings. Please help me.

It is Bucky Covington’s newest single "A Father’s Love" (The Only Way He Knew How).
You can listen to it on his website. Here’s the link. http://buckycovington.musiccitynetworks.com/index.htm?id=9930

recently my home page was CHANGED without warning, I DON,T LIKE it I am NOT able to read my EMAILS PROPERLY AT ALL

If you have been switched to the New Mail, then on the mail screen click Options, then click Switch to the Classic Mail. If it asks if you are sure you want to switch, click Yes to Opt out. If it’s the homepage, you can’t return to the original since Yahoo made the new homepage permanent. For most of us it was Nov.11. But you can click Page Options, then click Switch to Compact View, that will stop the pop ups and fly overs. It makes it more like the original.

What are some good websites that I can post my Parakeets up for sale on. Please let all the websites be for the USA. And could they please be free. I really need a lot of views so I can find my birds a nice, loving, new home. Thanks
Oh ya and cant do craigslist because they ban pet ads I tried already, thanks anyway.

I suggest using kijiji.com
