Maybe knowing that you're in good company will make you feel a little better.....My house has been on the market for just under a year.  We've dropped the house by 15% (about 110K) and still no activity (for a beautiful house.)  It's just a BAD market right now.  By the way, I tried the statue of St. Joseph (didn't work for me.)  Also tried the "sell your house" prayer - nothing yet.  I sincerely wish you good luck and if you find out the secret to success, PLEASE send it to me!

Hi 90802!\nNow that the housing market is finally looking up, it's the perfect time to seek out a new place to live. This summer you need to shake off that "lucky I even have my folks to live with" mentality, polish up your shoes, and explore your living quarters options! There are fun, flexible, fantastic places out there just waiting for someone like you!\nNow, get out there and pound the pavement. Beat on some doors until you latch onto that incredible tree house or fort you always wanted!\n(I heard the LongBeach area is a great place to find a cardboard box near a dumpster behind the pizza joint?)\n-Kenny

Brian, \n\nMy apologies up front for not answering *your* question, I just felt the need to thank you so very much for your help and input on my rent/eviction/decision. I tried to find the same information you did (although I must say you do seem extremely knowledgeable) and came up empty handed. I so greatly appreciate your help. You have sincerely raised my faith in my fellow man almost back to where it was many moons and a wife ago. I hope great(-er) things come your way and I honestly am so thankful for your help.\nWith great respect,\nRobert

Take a look at the recent Readers Digest.  They report on scammers who buy property real cheap from people in financial trouble.  They told of this one family who was in danger of foreclosure and these "really nice people" had them sign a bunch of refinance papers with blanks on the form ("we'll fill them in for you later").  Even though they had a bunch of money in equity it turns out that they sold out their house.  The scammers then sold it to someone else as rental property, who then evicted them because the scammers failed to tell them that they were now supposed to pay rent to the new owner--naturally, not knowing, they hadn't paid rent.  Then the "nice people" were gone, with the profits.  I wouldn't touch that "opportunity" at all.

I don't have a solution for you, but there are tons of people out there that have the same ambitions that you have.  I'd suggest going to www.motherearthnews.com and go to the forums.  Do you want to build?  If so there are tons of kits and do it yourself books out there.  In the forums I have seen off grid (no electricity) cabins on 10 acres for 25 k.  Thats pretty cheap.  If you need something less expensive, the forums are the place to look.

When I lived in Brancaster (a small village in Norfolk) the housing association built some "affordable" housing under the Shared Ownership scheme.  \n\nWhen I looked into it a bit further I wasn't impressed.  The idea was you bought a share of the house and rented the remainder from the Housing Association - not a bad idea really but then I found out that you are responsible 100% for any repairs that occur.  Not only that but the most you could own was 80% of the house and if you wanted to sell it on you had to find a buyer willing to take on the same committment.\n\nIn the end I decided to just rent.  There is always a risk that you could have your lease terminated but if there was a major repair to be done at least you are not responsible for it!!\n\nHope this helps!

Actually, there are laws pertaining to this. I have no idea what it's called but look for "property rights" maybe "access" "new property lines"  in Google. It has something to do with after many years, the rights can be "grandfathered" or something like that. You should see a real estate attorney.

My husband and I were faced with the question to build our first home, or just buy.  After talking with plenty of friends who have or are building their home, and doing some research on it - we decided to buy a brand new home instead.  \n\nThe biggest complaints I heard was getting all those permits... water,  sewer, utilities, building... the list goes on.  (Where I live - which is cheap compared to most places, each permit is no less than 500$)\n\nI don't want to discourage you though... perhaps you have a bit more patience than us!  I would just do all the research you can do for the area you live in.  Ask around.

me: land owner ( currently 200 acres ) and been through this many times with people, developments etc.\n\nYou'll need to talk to the council first. That is talk, don't send them a letter.\n\nMake an appointment with the forward planning officer to see if this parcel has any chance of being in the local development framework. Expressions of interest for LDF's closed in April this year, until 2018 so its going to have to be  apretty special case to get a permanent residence on it.\n\nThe facts that you choose a lob cabin, are down on your luck, want to live in harmony etc...bare no weight with planning, and neither should they.\n\nKennels can count as agricultural use ( sometimes ) , so you might try to go for an agricultrural accupancy condition, or a no-freehold transfer covernent.. These might help the council believe you are not going to move on and make moeny from it.\n\nEnvironment agency would have something to say as well, you'll need to be able to proove you have waste disposal. A septic tank, cesstank etc are the last resort and if possible they will amke you connect to mains drainage, even if its 100's metres away. They normally accept its not preactical if its going to cost more than £40K, but you might still have to spend £15K on a biodisc and reed bed. they would also have concerns about waste from the kennels if you are not on mains disposal.\n\nTalk to forward planning first. If they say its got a chance, you then need to go for change of use to residential and then outline planning. Once you've got that there is then the building regs.\n\nThe statement below...".....you can pretty much do as you please" is complete nonsense. The fine for illegal construction on agricultural land can be up to £50K for a single dwelling,in addition to being told to remove it.

You have a very good point and you dont have to be a tree hugger to appreciate it either.  Find others in your community that feel the way you do, get local government on your side, talk to state / federal government, talk to the media.  Let the builders know that there will be a backlash to unwise building.  Maybe they won't stop the building but perhaps they will be wiser about it, adding green space and being more careful of the enviroment.  It's all you can do, short of buying up the land yourself.

Ours has been discharged now for about a year and a half and we are in the process of purchasing a 4 bdr, 2bth home. So far we have the home but are now looking for a piece of land to put it on. All we had to do was show proof of discharge and what all was paid off in it. Since you have no money to put down I would check around and find out what ya had to have down. If you had to have a down payment I would try to get a co-signer, or look into FHA, HUD or Section 8 or any Government loan programs to see if I could get help from any of them. Good luck and wish ya the best..... :0)

You are on the right path.  You have got to get as much homeowners involved as possible.  If you guys still have access to your old by-laws, they might give you a summary of the protocol you should follow after a property management co. has taken over.  If not, contact another homeowner's association office to ask for advise.  If that doesn't help, get online and find someone that can!!  I'd call Kens 5 - Five on Your Side!! Assuming you're in Texas (san antonio)

Sounds good to me.  Very proficient.  You have had all inspection and no variance was needed.  The only thing I can think is the uitility hook ups.  The pre-constructed house will have all the hook up but can services such as cable, electric, gas, telephone,etc.  I am sure.  Now, it's just time for them to come and assemble.

We need more information.  Where are you?  What's the situation?  Who wants to take the property?  Why do they want to take it? etc.
