Minnesota’s cold never ending winter………?

I’ve lived in Minnesota near Minneapolis for 6 yrs now, I relocated from SoCal, this has been the longest most miserable winter ever, and today it is cold and windy, I was out walking one of my dogs and was glad to get home. Why would anyone choose to live here when there are so many warmer places to live, I’m beginning to hate the day I moved here.
I feel better now I’ve vented..

What do you do when youve lost your paid off home to a flood, and waited 4 years for fema to do nothing ?

Thats right !!! Our home was severly damaged in a flood 4 years ago and it WAS declared a disaster area. Fema gave us 0 for a footer and never went under the house. Then they said it qualified to be bought out and after 4 years of government runarounds and the roof collapsing and FEMA not coming up with any more money we had to sell it and take a ,000 loss !!! We never got a credit card like Katrina victims or any other assistance. We had to evacuate the premises immediately on our dime with no help from the government and relocate. We have spent nearly ,000 bucks in rent waiting on them to say we don’t have the money yet to buy your 49,000 dollar home !!! A construction company had been really pestering us to buy it and we got fed up and sold it. Now we are looking at foreclosures and bank repo’s and home auction websites, but people with more money than us keep outbidding us on homes that we see and like !!! GOOD LUCK TO NEW ORLEANS AND MINNESOTA !!! How do we get help ???

What are the benefits of selling your home to a family member?

I’ve heard you can save money on real estate transfer taxes, etc, but cannot find any information on the associated savings with selling your home to family members. I will be selling it at FMV.

What are the advantages of renting out versus selling my home?

I am in the process of purchasing a new home to live in. My existing home is in a neighborhood where places sell and rent out rather quickly. I have equity in the home equal to about 1/2 of the current value of the home. I am thinking about selling. Some people think I should rent it out. What are the tax advantages of renting it out? I still have a mortgage on it. Can I write off any of the interest on the mortgage? If someone can direct me to a good book or website to help me out, that would be wonderful. Thanks!!

Is there any website for ratings of rental aparments in Orange County?

Hi, I’m relocating to Orange County from Minnesota and would be renting a townhome soon. I have a 3 year kid and am very particular about finding a safer and better home for him. Is there any website for apartment ratings which covers details like maintenance, neighborhood, any sex offenders/child abusers in the area etc.

Thanks!
