Should I sell my house?

August 18th, 2009

I am a single mother of two and get no child support. I am forever fighting with loss mitigation to avoid foreclosure, and I am aging years at a time with all the stress maintaining my household involves.I put no money down and even with the slow market, if I sell my house I will make a profit - I think. I have been an owner for four years and I don't think I am upside down but you never know. Different Realtors give me different quotes. I am just scared about losing my home and not having anywhere to go to. I filed bankruptcy that was final not so long ago so my credit is not looking pretty. So if I sell my house, I will have to rent. I know that renting will be much cheaper but what about my credit. Things are very confusing to me and different people seem to give me different ideas of what to do and what is going on.

Savvy Renter’s Kit

July 18th, 2009

There are too many people with upside down mortgages these days and many of them are too afraid to own a home and they rent instead. Renting is a good option if you are still deciding what to do, where to live and what price range you can afford monthly. If you have lost your job recently, perhaps renting is a good option while you look for work. You never know which city you are going to end up in.

This second edition of "The Savvy Renter's Kit" shows consumers what to look for when searching for rentable housing including how to assess individual housing needs.

The book thoroughly explains lease agreements and demonstrates how tenants can protect their best interests in writing.
