How can I buy a home in foreclosure?

December 19th, 2010 5 comments

I am currently renting and interested in buying a home that is in foreclosure and being auctioned off. Are there any government/state websites that are legit that will allow me to see the houses available in my state? Should I use a realtor?
Is it a bad or good time to try and get a mortgage?

We have been asked by a buyer to carry 10% financing on our home. The sales price is 500 We owe ,900 and our realtor fee will be 00.
How much do WE as the seller, bring to the table to satisfy our mortgage and realtor fee. Does this mean we will pay them 50 and the difference in our loan plus realtor fees? I thought I understood but it is too late n the evening to call my realtor. Thanks!

Will I have to pay capitol gains on a property I just bought but lived in for two years with a lease-option?

November 5th, 2010 3 comments

two years ago a friend and I bought and moved into a house together with a tic agreement, and then we created a lease option agreement between us that I would buy his share of the house after two years. This was a contract between him and I and it wasn’t notarized. I gave him a non-refundable down-payment and I pay the mortgage. Now as am am about to get the financing to buy his share out-right. Then I would like to sell the house. Will I have to pay capitol gains tax on profits from my partner share that he sold to me, considering I only just outright bought the house, even though I have lived there for two years and agreed to buy it two years ago and payed him some then and payed the mortgage since?

I see a lot of signs around for owner or seller financing. Does this mean that the current own gets to keep the mortgage and take the house back if something goes wrong?

What are the typical provisions of a lease/option agreement? i.e. Down Payment, Rent, etc.?

July 30th, 2010 6 comments

I am currently renting and a home across the street has recently become available for sale by owner. I have recently applied for a mortgage but my approval requires me to complete several items that may take a few months.I approached the owner with the possibility of a lease/option agreement so I may move into the home and leave the rental property. The owner mentioned today an option "fee" of ,500 and monthly rent of ,500 with a final purchase price of 3,900. Does the option fee typically get applied to the purchase price when I complete the sale? Should I request a percentage of my rent to be applied to the final purchase price as well? I haven’t received any of the paperwork yet but just wanted some ideas. I am new to this.
