What happens when my landlord can't pay his mortgage?

Whose duty is it to disclose a bug problem?

I did some math this morning when I saw 30-year mortgage rates still under 4%. That's unbelievably low.

Should I buy a home with my boyfriend? Can I take over my neighbor's mortgage?

How can I get out of my listing agreement? Why has my bank cancelled my home's foreclosure?

The start of 2012 has many investors looking for bargain properties, sometimes in bunches. The ways of funding the purchases also have become more creative as buyers rethink the role of real estate not only for their portfolios but also for their residences.

Spring is the busiest time of the year for selling a home. The trees are budding, the grass is green, the songbirds return, and homebuyers feel the urge to begin their home-buying search.

Why do I need to fill out a form to see property? Can a seller accept another offer during our negotiations?

Negotiations were tense when I bought a used backyard play house for my two-year-old. The seller wanted $60. I countered with $50. We consulted our attorneys, faxed amended offers back and forth – include the plastic fireplace logs or no deal – but finally settled on $52.75.

If you're selling your house, why would you tell potential buyers about the stuff that's wrong with it? Caveat emptor, right? Not so fast.
