My ex will be refinancing the marital home and buying me out of my ownership of the home. I will be receiving a partial pay- out up front, with the balance to be paid to me upon sale of the house in 4 years. Should this be set up as a second trust so that I hold a lien on the house? Should there be interest involved?

They’ll never make a profit that way!

Like where do you click?
do you have to be a certain level, because I don’t see anything that says peoperties?

How’s the real estate market out there ? is it a good time to buy out there right now ?

I am trying to relocate and get the mostfor my money, but in a place where it would be economical and good to raise a family

My mother in law is from Russia and is interested in buying some real estate in Florida. Does anyone know what requirements and steps are needed to do this? I have been looking all over the internet and can’t really find anything on it.

I’ve heard many gurus talk about buying real estate with no money out of pocket. Is this really possible? I want to hear of a strategy that really works not something theoretical.

Our company is buying an office building to rent to ourselves and some units to others. We plan on keeping this real estate for many years. Should we do this under a separate llc or keep it under our current llc?

Non-American citizen wanting to buy real estate in US. Is it legal and possible?

Considering real-estate purchase as a primary residence in Seattle. I see that home prices are somewhat high whether your in the city, or in a suburb outside of it. Curious about the opinions of purchasing in the city VS the ‘burbs. I’m thinking about appreciation in the city, vs buildup and appreciation in the suburbs.

Do you think that the city appreciation will slow before the suburbs catch up?

Do you think that the ‘burbs will appreciate less and more slowly than the city?

Are there certain suburbs that might appreciate on pace with the city? (Belleview, Redmond, etc. ?)

Are there certain areas in the city that are set to appreciate faster/higher than others? (Queen Anne?)

If you had to suggest buying a condo, townhome, or house in Seattle city or suburbs, which would you say provides the best value?

Would you consider a house purchase in the suburbs to be a better purchase than a condo purchase in the city? Townhome vs Condo? House vs Townhome?

Thanks!
jbarelli – actually, this answer requires knowledge of the real-estate market in Seattle-and has much less to do with my personal preferences (since I’m open to city/burb living).
C’mon folks! Only one person took a real swing at answering this question (thanks hairstyle). My personal preferences don’t have anything to do with the real-estate market in Seattle. Who can make statements like these:

Belleview is appreciating much faster than Belltown.

A queen victoria styled house in the suburbs will never be worth as much as a decent condo in Queen Anne.

The commute from Issaquah doesn’t justify the townhome prices there.

THIS is the kind of insight on the Seattle real-estate market I’m looking for!
