I'm moving house and the vendors want to bring the settlement date forward?

Its common for sellers to want to sell ASAP.  If they have their next place lined up they just want to move on.  You could ask them to pay you a little bit to do this if you wanted, or if you don't care when the closing is you could just move it up to be nice.\n\nAnyhow, as the prior poster said, you typically pay your mortgage for the next month and the fractional portion of the current month in advance.  So settle on the 1st and you come up with 2 months of mortgage payments at the closing table.  Settle on the last day of the month and you come up with one month and one day of mortgage payments.  However, settle on the 1st and your next payment isn't due for 2 months, settle on the 31st and its due in one month and one day, so this is extra $$ you need to come up with at the closing, but not really a permanent extra expense.  There could be other minor adjustments, but probably very little would be different, no real extra costs.\n\nNote also that the bank and title company have alot of work to do, so its very possible they won't be able to close in a moved up time period even if you want to. So make any contract change contingent upon the bank/ title company being ready in fewer days (or better yet, if you agree to this just verbally tell them you will try to close sooner, but do not ammend the contract with a new closing date).

First you have to put your home back on the market and sell it again to someone else.  If the house sells for a lower purchase price than the previous deal then you can demand that the difference be deducted from the deposit provided by the first buyers and any remaining balance be returned to them.  If the house sells for more than the previous deal then you have to instruct that the entire deposit be returned to the first buyers, since you had no damages.\n\nThe foregoing assumes that:  (1) your original contract with the first buyers did not address the issue of a default by the buyers; and (2) that you did not default under the original contract.  If the original contract addressed the possibility of a default by the buyers then the contract will be controlling.  If you defaulted (for example, refusal to make agreed-upon repairs) then this whole mess is going to court and anything can happen.

The bank would much prefer you to make your payments compared to taking on a property.  Talk to them.  A lot of times they can work out a deal.

It depends on what state you live in.  The forclosure papers should give you a phone # to call. The worst thing you can do is not call that #.  Call the number and ask two questions, how much is my payoff and when do I need to sell the house by.  You may think you know what you owe on your house, but when it goes into forclosure, the office that takes on the file adds fees every day in some cases.  Make sure when you ask for the payoff, you ask if that # is going to go up.  If you have enough equity in your house and you can price it to sell, let me know and I'll give you some idea's on how to unload it.

Assuming you'd like to start off working with a good Realtor who will take care of your real estate needs now and in the future, I suggest finding a Realtor who works for and by referral. They will not be spending time on door knocking etc and keep in touch with their past clients. This way, they'll have more time to work with you during the transaction.\n\nI'm a Realtor but not in your area. However, I have met other Realtors in person who are in your area and run their business in the same way I run mine. If you'd like a Referral to one who's professional and runs their business like I run mine, go to http://www.ReferredPro.com and submit your request. I'll forward your request onto a qualified Realtor local to you. Most of the Realtors I network with, I have met in person. I won't give your information out without your approval. So no worries there!

Absolutely NOT! Just wait another year, or two years max and you'll see a very significant savings. Even if prices remain constant you'll be in a much stronger negotiating position. This it the very end of a very long sellers market. A buyers market is just around the corner. Just be a little patient!

Contact your real estate broker, they're usually experienced with things like this.\n\nMy understanding is that usually there's a clause in the selling agreement that if the buying party can not full fill the payment required the transaction may be canceled.

Ha!  That's funny.\n\nIf you move in mid-year, you will still pay taxes in both states.  It will be prorated, but prorated on your income for the whole year, I believe.  So that wouldn't help you.\n\nThe only real solution would be to move for a whole year, I suspect, from January 1 all the way thru Dec. 31 of the same year, at least. Keeping your house and renting it out shouldn't be a problem, but if California catches wind that the move isn't 'real' (and who knows how they'd interpret that), they may come after you for tax fraud.  On the other hand, if you did move for real, then California wouldn't have any claim on your taxes any longer.  Since taxes on capital gains are not realized until the stock is sold, you should come out ok.\n\nIt wouldn't hurt to check that with a tax accountant in your proposed new state just to be sure, but I'm reasonably certain of it.

I had a land contract in Alaska and the monthly payment and due dates were "set" by myself and the seller of the house.  We just agreed to a price, and put that price and a lot of other things into a contract we both signed and had notarized.\n\nCheck your state's laws about Land contracts.  It should be somewhere within your States Government web site.

address the people/company you are renting from. i am sure they could work something suitable out for you with your being able to move. they are reasonable people or should be. things happen beyond our control sometimes and i know they know that too. next time you get room mates have them added onto the lease with your leaser. that way you are not totally responsible for everything.

don't sweat this. it's common for a closing to be rescheduled, but check with your realtor to see if there is a REASON for it being rescheduled. often times, attorneys don't get the "loan packages, etc" drawn up & delivered in time for a scheduled closing. in this case, it's no big deal,.

That depends on what the option to purchase agreement says. As well as any agreement you may have with any agent. You had better start reading.

You can set up any sort of agreement with the buyer that you and the buyer agree to.\n\nIt is, in fact, fairly common to have a provision that the seller will remain in possession until the happening of a certain event (such as close of escrow on the property the seller is buying) or a date certain.  It is a subject for negotiation whether the seller will or will not pay rent or reduce the final price of the property for the time the seller remains. \n\nIf you know that you will be moving to Malaysia on a certain date, just include in your instructions to your broker and make sure escrow instructions include that you will remain in possession of the property, and/or title will not change hands, until a specific date.  Just in case there are unexpected glitches, I'd make that date at least two weeks after you plan to be gone; you can always tell the buyer he/she/they can move in earlier.

you'll have to take it before a probate judge or seek legal counsel first. more than likely it will be set that the house be sold at market value and the money be split between yall,but if there is any outstanding debts they have to be paid first then what ever is left be split

You could buy a forward contract - it is an advanced financial instrument.  Talk to a broker.
