Buying a house isn't even a good tax break any more.  Last year, we couldn't even claim our interest because we didn't pay enough.  There's a minimum on how much you can claim.  We bought our house because we retire in 2 years and know we want to stay here after that.  Buying a house is a risky move.  You might stay less than 3 years, as happens often.  We have many friends that bought houses, then couldn't sell them when the time came.  They ended up having to pay a mortgage until the house sold, plus rent on a house where they PCSed to.  Some have even lost money because the housing market went down where they lived.  One friend, their house stayed on the market so long, that they ended up having to rent it out.  That became a whole other headache.  They had PCSed, so they had to hire someone for upkeep and maintenance on the house, such as things breaking or whatever.  They had to make sure the rent was collected every month.  They ended up dumping the house for a major loss.\n\nBuying while you're still in and PCSing is a risky move.  There's some good, but there's alot of risk.

Just start calling  local real estate agents.   Most will be a little reluctant at first because most agents already have loan officers they prefer.  Take the approach that you want to help them with their open house.  Offer to bring fresh baked cookies to the open house, then once you’re there offer to go get lunch for the both of you.  I know this sounds like a lot of hoops to jump thru, but remember you have to sell your self to the agent if you want them to send business your way.  \nI wish you the best of luck.

Anyone can own property, but you'll need a proper paperwork to actually live there.  Yes, you can theoritically get a UK loan on a Norweigan property, but I don't envy the amount you'll have to go through to get it.  I'd start with an international bank with locations in both countries.

depends if your looking at high risk or long term , Bulgaria is a hot spot at the moment as property is as little as £7,000 but is slowly increasing as many people are buying there ..... the sector 17 in SW France is a sound investment as well as London in the UK ..canary wharf has large developments at the moment ... also northern Ireland is tipped to be the next place to rise in the new year hope this helps ... stay away from Spain prices are dropping

The Office of State Revenue is the place to go to for assistance.\n\nI am pretty sure there are no "minimum spend" rules. You can check out the rules at\n\nhttp://www.osr.qld.gov.au/gas/fhog/index.htm\n\nYou will get significant stamp duty concessions though for spending under $250K.\n\nGood luck with the 1st home buying.

Never heard of them. I looked into Bulgaria about 5 years ago when you could pick up places for £15,000.\nI think the prices now are not competative and the rental demand is much lower than supply. I am sure there are better opportunities about. I am buying a luxury 127 square meter apartment in Goa India for about £40,000. You can pick up smaller places (50 meters squared) in Goa for £15,000 but there are lots of them and less large luxury apartmens. Hope that might help

Research your options.  Basically, the best coverage is to do a for sale by owner,using a service for a fee that puts your home in the multi list, agreeing to pay a commission if a realtor brings you a buyer.  You are always in control of the selling price though.  Good luck.  In my personal experience, I adverstised a summer home in the Sunday paper with a photo and got a lot of calls.

I rent at the moment (about £1600/month), and I'm going to be buying next year.\n\nIt's the best way to go to be honest.

You can probably do it, but you'll have to shop around.  Most banks don't offer mortgages on unimproved land, but there's got to be a few that do - but the interest rates may not be so good!

Craig's list and you can also email your info to buyhomes@myway.com Be sure to give the full details, size, type, area of land, area of building complete address with zip code and a picture if possible. The population of the location would also be a great help for out of towners, seeking a get-away\npeaceful location or vise-vers. Those who want neighbours with kids, so that their kids will have play-mates. Good. Luck

Hi Big Momma,\n\nEquity release mortgages are available but you have to be 60 or over unfortunately. I wouldn't sell to one of these schemes that buy your house and rent it back to you, they are a rip off, they will charge an exorbitant rent, much more than your monthly mortgage repayment, I think you would be much better off re-mortgaging though it may be a bit difficult getting one at your age, (sorry don't mean to be rude about the age bit). But there are companies who will give you a re-mortgage as long as you have proof that you have a personal pension in place for after your retirement years. I could name a company but sorry would get into trouble with yahoo police for advertising. Hope this helps, good luck. X
