If I'm buying an FHA house, and I get married and move, can my unmarried children (over age 20) live there?

They can, BUT, if you took the subsidised loan repayment, Your grandchildren will be paying off the mortgage. After 30 years of making payments, you still owe FHA money. Ain't the government great?

You can in tenessee. I know someone who just got housing there. in the same situation. You should ask hud in your area.

It depends. If your financial life is in order and is able to get a loan then you can conceivably buy a house and move in it within a month. But this also depends on if there's a lot of houses for sale where you want to live.

you really need to talk to a lawyer about this . the laws very from state to state . for instance , in some states your situation would have been considered a "common law" marriage . in which case ,you might not be able to sue her . It would be the equivelant of suing your wife . but this may not be true in your state or locality . and because "common law" marriage laws vary so much from state to state as well as real estate laws . talking to a  real estate lawyer from your state , will be more helpful .

If you've lived in the same complex for 7 years, they already love you, trust me.  As long as you give proper notice to them before moving out, you don't need to worry about harming your reputation with them (it seems like this is what you're concerned about).

To qualify for this exemption you must have lived the property as your personal residence for at least 24 month (2 yrs) of the last 5 yrs before the sale date.  You will be entitle to either $250K or $500.K depending on your marital status. I believe even individual owners, even if not married, assuming they meet the above  qualifications are entitle to the exemption---in fact I am pretty sure (Consult your tax attorney nevertheless).\n\nNote: 1031 exchange applies only to investment property, i.e., rentals, and not to personal real estate property.  Always consult your tax man!!!!!!!!!!! Best of luck! \n\nWhere one lives is of no consequence when it comes to federal income tax law unless an Indian reservation...where some federal tax laws may vary.

It really depends on what kind of nuptial ceremony you plan on having?  Something informal with low overhead?  Then sure, get married first as that won't crunch the pocket book.  Now if you want a "Cinderella" wedding, then WAIT!!!!!!!!!! I would definitely purchase a house first!! Housing prices generally continue to go up, hence, equity in your pocket!! If you are worried about what family will say, who cares?? It's your life and you are only trying to better it!\n\nGood luck :)\n\nP.S......... purchasing a house sans marriage has absolutely NOTHING to do with who gets what should you seperate prior to getting married.  How you take title DOES!!  Should you purchase the home prior to marriage, you would each take title in your individual name, then after each of your names, you would state "single man" and "single woman" (assuming neither of you has been married before.  If either of you has been married before, then after that person's name it would say, "unmarried man/woman".  You would then have to decide that should one of you die before the other whether or not you want to leave your share of the house to the other person OR to someone else.  I'll give you an example of each:\n\nThis would be if both have never been married before AND want to leave the house to the surviving partner:\n\nJonh Doe- single man and Suzie Smith-single woman as joint tenants.\n\nNow if each of you would prefer to leave your half of the house to someone else, this is how you would take title (again, assuming neither of you has been married):\n\nJohn Doe-single man  (list his percentage of ownership) and Suzie Smith-single woman (list her percentage of ownership) with right of survivorship.\n\nIn this case, you would state in a will or trust or even on a notorized piece of paper, "who" your percentage of the house goes to. Also, in either example, if one of you has been married you would just change out "single" to read "unmarried".\n\nmb

I don't think so.  FHA is for purchases only I believe but check with a loan officer who deals with the program.

First of all, and unfortunately or fortunately for you, because your child is 12 they can decide where they want to live. At least in the state of Washington they can. It may be different where you live. Unless there are circumstances where there is abuse or neglect, though, you may have a hard time depending on where you are and what the laws are.\nThe first thing I would do is to contact your local Department of Social & Health Services and speak with someone there about what your rights are and can be done or not done for you based on your income. It's quite possible that if your income is lower they could provide you with financial help. However, you should be aware that if you're in need of financial help and your ex-husband is not, it's going to make your situation harder as he can financially support her and you can't. \nCall those people though, it's a start and if nothing else they can lead you in the right direction.\nGood Luck!

He should speak to the Citizens Advice Bureau. As far as I know, unless the house is in joint names or she can prove a significant financial contribution to the upkeep,  she is only entitled to maintenance for the child if they are not married.

Yes and no.\n\nGenerally speaking, for individuals there is a $250,000 tax exclusion and for married couples, there is a $500,000 tax exclusion.  If your gain from the sale of your house is less than these limits, you may not have to report the sale on your taxes.  If the gain from the sale of your house is more than these respective limits, then you will have a taxable gain.\n\nHowever, there are minimum requirements for living in the home to qualify for these exclusions.  For instance, within the 5 years prior to the sale of the home, you must have lived in the home as your primary residence for at least two years and you must have owned the home for a minimum of two years.\n\nI don't think there are any age restrictions or limitations or exemptions.\n\nAnd this is currently not a one time event.  As long as you meet the minimum ownership and residency requirements, you can qualify for the exemption.  This may mean that you could buy and sell a house every two years (full calendar years) and qualify for the exemption.\n\nBut tax laws are always changing. For more accurate and up to date information about your particular tax situation, consult the IRS documents and/or a professional tax consultant.  I am not a professional tax consultant so my advice should not be considered a trusted source.\n\nhttp://www.irs.gov/individuals/article/0,,id=132621,00.html\nhttp://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/industries/article/0,,id=98921,00.html

generally you can rent basement suites in a house for less than you can rent a smaller apartment.\nis this a permanent arrangement?  I hope not because it is terrible for kids to live in apartments without room to go outside and play.....\n1 adult can sleep in living room, 2 can share 1 bed room, kids in other room.....\n\nneed to save save save so you can buy a proper house.

hahaha Yes, of course he can!! Just like you can in America. But I guess in America they would probably just live together without getting married.

What you are referring to is for primary residences after people have lived there for 2 years... This does not apply in you situation.\n\nWhat does apply is a procedure known as a 1031 exchange.  1031 exchanges allow you to totally defer your capital gains tax by reinvesting the proceeds of your sale into another 'like kind' property.  (like-kind refers to the other property being investment use as compared to personal use).\n\nI'm finishing up the testing on a 1031 exchange site.  The information is real, and many of the test properties are available listings as well.\n\nFeel free to check the site out for the basics on a 1031 exchange.

The problem is that, unless she's disabled, her income is probably not going to be high enough to allow her to purchase a home.  If she and her son-to-be-exhusband owned a home, she might be able to use her share of the equity from that home to purchase a place to live, if there is enough equity, depending upon the terms of the divorce..  \n\nShe could look into low-income rentals, known as Section 8.  Unfortunately, she doesn't have young children living with her and she's not yet elderly, so she may not qualify for that either. \n\nHer best bet would be to contact the local welfare office and ask them for any assistance or leads that they can provide for low-income housing.\n\nGood luck!

No, absolutely not. The entitled to 1/2 rule applies only to married couples and surprisingly enough it only applies after you've been married 10 yrs. Of course people married less than 10 years can still have battles over entitlement to property especially if they've acquired a lot during the course of a marriage or had children. As far as an unmarried couple though, neither of you is entitled to half of anything. You leave the relationship with what you went into it with.
