Agree or not?

Posted on March 5th, 2010 by admin in first place realestate | 10 Comments »

I seriously laugh so hard my side hurts when I read what people have to say on here. And no, I’m not casting any insults right now.

I hear a lot say that Bush is the boogy man or Hilary is the boogy man or Gore is, etc etc etc.

Fact is people, the two leading political parties in this country all crap in the same places. Foreign oil, pharmasuticals, BIG insurance companies, realestate, the auto industry and electricity. Sniff around a little and you will see a lot of names of people who you would never suspect.

It truly is possible to hate a politician to the point of becoming paranoid that they are out to get you. Don’t forget that we elect them and alot of the people that scream the loudest don’t vote when the polls are open.

Is the current administration corrupt? DUH! Was the previous one corrupt? DUH! Remember, polititians don’t spend millions to get into office for YOUR personal gain…but for their own!

Sorry if my spelling sucks…I still on my first cup.
I agree…they all stink like rotten meat!
susi, flattery will get you everywhere. But becarefull…he bites.

I know they Both like the Illegals… Dems like the Vote, Repubs Like the Labor.

Help Please?

Today my Husband and I went to closing, the first problem was the tilte comp/lawyer attempted to use the money provided by the seller to pay for cost that my bank already paid for as wel as not place the contribution on the HUD needless to say after I advised them I am a closing agent the hud was changes and reflected a 600 diff. in the contract we asked for a septic clearance letter and termite clearance letter. We got the termite but instead of the seller providing a clearance letter they got the septic tank pumped we walked away because we refuse to closed without the septic clearance letter. My realestate agent advised us they have the receipt from the comp that pumped the tank we did not feel comfortable and advised them to provide the clearance from the county or give us our earnest money back. Is this a breach of contract and what can we do because our realtor seems to be working for the seller and not us as she suppose to be a buying agent

With the details provided I would say if the seller didn’t provide the ‘letter’, they are in breach. Also your agent is walking a thin line on the Fiduciary owed you.

I would write a letter to the agent (cc the broker) calmly pointing out the facts and that you intend to seek all actions and remedies afforded you by contract and law.

I think my husband is cheating on me.?

Posted on February 27th, 2010 by admin in first place realestate | 12 Comments »

I believe that my husband maybe having a affair with a woman I have never met. She is a realestate sales person I wanted to get her email to ask her about a house I saw. I have always had my husbands password to his email.
At the time he was going to spend the night at the hotel because he had to get up so early and drive so far. He emailed her about meeting up for beer sort of weird first off because he hasn’t had a drink in 30 years! But I let it go but desided I would keep a eye on this.
Last week he was going to go into town for his work again and he desided not to go last minute I found a email saying she couldn’t meet him. If its just a matter of not wanting to get up early then it just seems odd. Another time she kept texting and calling him but he lied and said it was a out of state number I could see her name from the place I stood he latter deleted the messages. He was also suppose to go to town but we had a emergency then. It don’t see why he would lie about it if there was nothing wrong.
This morning I found a email that was much worse. He talks about wanting to meet her for beers and talked about giving her a massage.
Another email for a different woman I never heard of he wanted to meet her for beers as well. This is a man that does not drink never goes out to party it just seems off to me.

We had problems several years ago. He was trying to make "plans" to meet up with a friend of mine and I confronted him. I haven’t seen anything like that till now.
At the same time all of this is going on he was talking to me about having a child something that I would love. And we have been looking at houses to buy. I just don’t understand. We have been married 5 years together for 6. I run a animal rescue so if we were to seperate it would be devastating to the animals we have. I don’t know what to do…..
"So why get all worked up? Just treat him like a stray dog, and everything should be just fine."

lol ok so I admit you made me laugh. But hey even my worst dog I can say I trust with all my heart right now I can’t say that with my husband. It hurts. Maybe it is nothing but something doesn’t seem right. If I ask him about it and its nothing then he will think I don’t trust him.
It certainly seems like something when he starts to try to hide and lie. And he talks about wanting to give he a massage I mean come on that doesn’t seem weird?

I love animals too, but you can’t ruin your life because you’re afraid to separate from your husband. Sometimes you have to make huge short-term sacrifices to save your life in the long run.

Yes, your husband is cheating on you and he won’t stop. No, you’ll never be happy with him. Cut your losses and end the marriage so that you can hurry up and rebuild your life – and then start your own animal shelter and do all the things you think today you can’t do. Good luck!

New home, previous owner from hell?

Posted on February 23rd, 2010 by admin in first place realestate | 6 Comments »

Hi, would like some of your input into this matter and hopefully some advise that can guide in the right direction. The situation is a big mess and even my lawyer is not providing me any helpful tips. First of all the owner delayed the settlement 2 times causing me to find accomodation elsewhere for the last 2 weeks. When i asked my lawyer since my loan was approved on 24th sept can the owner be charged rent? He said no, NSW laws favor the owner and we can’t do anything. So i had bought some furniture as well for which now i was paying storage fee. Lawyer’s (A-hole) assistant says its nothing to do with property and can’t help. So yesterday (8/10/18) is when the settlement took place at around 3pm. Interesting the owner only moved out on that same day around mid-day from what i gather from neighbors. No one gives me a call as to what happened. so finally i decided to call the realestate and they say they have the key and i can sign for it and pick it up. so i pick the keys about 5pm and go to the house at 6pm. what horror i saw there is just unimaginable. there is no cleaning done, cobwebs all over the walls and owners junk stuff still in the unit like a worn out washing machine which hasn’t been thrown out, cupboard full of junk paper things. i didn’t accept this and since it was late i called both the realestate and lawyer about this. realestate said they will look into this and lawyer said very little he can do after settlement. i asked a few people at my work and they said that is not on, and the lawyer should have just stopped the payment till things were fixed. others have said to get the cleaning done and do the invoice to the previous owner. im lost now, please help me with some advise.

if your in a hurry to move in; i suggest that you immediately document the incident. take photographs; walk through the house with two (2) friends as witnesses; note the damages; then have it cleaned; have the invoice clearly made indicating the cleaning made; the damage fixed and the costs;

then review your settlement agreement see if you accepted the house in good condition and if you have a waiver for claims and damages arising from his occupancy. these provisions might deny your claim. if your settlement is clear talk to your lawyer about suing the previous owner on the ground of unjust enrichment (solutio indebiti) and damages to the house.

this advise is no substitute for consulting with a lawyer.

i’m so beyond stressed i dont know what to do. help!?

Posted on February 21st, 2010 by admin in first place realestate | 8 Comments »

ok, first off, i’m 25, still going to college, and unfortionitly still living at home with my mom. i’ve been dating a guy for over 4 years now, who also lives with his mom, and a few weeks ago he proposed.
we’ve been trying to find a place for almost 2 years now, but in this area we just cannot afford anything. really. i work in a realestate office with access to everything, other than moble homes, there is nothing in this area until $250,000. and as for renting, the things in our price range all have "income qualifications" and we exceed these (we are in a HIGH immigrant area so the qualifications have been set to help THEM find places). seriously, the one bedroom places around here that DONT have the income qualifications are $1600+ a mo, which is nothing we can afford.
so besides that, i work 2 part time jobs and go to school. i spoke with an advisor yesterday and my estimated grauation is spring 09. which means no full time job until then.
we were hoping to get married NEXT fall, but now with school going longer i dont think that can happen, so now we’re probably going to have to hold off until the FOLLOWING fall, thats now 2 years away!!! i never wanted to have a long engagement :(
but we cant get married until we have a place to live, and i cant aford anything until i have a full time job, after school.

i cant deal with this, my mom is only making things worse, she’s trying to make me quit BOTH jobs to get an internship, which wouldnt pay at all. so then there is NO money coming it. i sent her a photo of a dress i kinda like, just as an idea, and she tells me not to even bother looking!
i just want to get away from her, and live my own life, i just feel like i cant. no matter what i do i’m getting no where. help!! please!!
if i take the internship, i dont have money for gas, my bills, books… i wouldnt be able to get to the internhip OR school. and my mom will not help me out. i’ve been working since i was 15 and she hasnt given me money ONCE since i started working.

You’re definitely in a rough spot, and it seems like you have a TONS of things all going on at once. I dont envy you.
I think you should really take a step back and figure out not only what you want now, but where you want to be a few years from now. I have a feeling that your Mom is probably looking at things from a "whats best down the road" perspective, and you’re in the "here and now". So, a few comments, and understand that I’m totally unbiased here :)

1. Why the rush to get married? One thing I found about myself is that I changed dramatically once I was out on my own, outside of my parents roof. I’d suggest before getting married OR moving in with your b/f, you live on your own, or with a group of friends. You need some space to get out from under Mom, find out who you are. Your b/f needs to do the same. Once you’ve both established yourselves outside of Mom and Dad, then maybe you two can start looking.

2. Education is important. Get it now!!! Many people do the "Oh I’ll go back after yada yada yada" and few can do it. Work, Husband, kids, family…all will take precedence later. get your education now!

3. An internship is a smart idea actually. No, you wont make as much money. But you will establish some credibility in your field for when you get out of school. "Worked at Wal-mart as a cashier" isn’t impressive to anyone. "Worked as an intern with an organization developing yada yada yada", does. Do you want to get out of college making 30K a year, or 60K? Your call.

4. Acceptiing a proposal for marriage, isnt being married. There is no requirement for living together being engaged. If your b/f wants that, let him get out and work a few jobs and put some money away. If you guys are working two jobs and cant afford a place to live, that’s maybe saying the lifestyle you like, isn’t going to mesh well when you’re out on your own.

Best of luck :)
