Have you ever sold or rented a home on your own?

If you find a buyer just draw up a sales contract. You can probably find one on line, or sometimes there are preprinted contracts that you can find in your local office supply store. When you have an agreement with your buyer, contact a title company and arrange a closing. The title company will do all of the difficult paperwork for you. It's that easy. Good Luck!\n\nP.S. To respond to the 1st answer. I don't really think that you get ANY legal protection by using an agaent. The only difference would be that their sales contract was drawn up to protect them, not you.

You shouldn't, but call your agent to make certain.\n\nDo you have rental reimbursement on your policy?  It's inexpensive and worth it when you need it.

Yes, however in order to completely get out of paying any real estate commission, you would need to sell as "sale by owner" and not offer real estate commission when advertised.\n\nOtherwise, if you list your home in the standard listing service for your area, you would only pay half of the commission you normally would.

have you checked on prior sales and similar homes currently on the market in your area?  That would be the first place to start....

a good realtor can help u get about 16% more for your home than u could get when selling on your own according to the president of the national association of realtors.\n\nThe best resource is a highly-qualified Realtor, if you want to sell for top dollar.

well, in my state rent to oun does not work vary well. I'm kind of in the same place. Me and my best friend bought a house 4 years ago becouse rent was getting to hight. Well now we want to sell but can't right now becouse of a lean from her icecream store. So we are kind of married but don't want to be. So you might want to get married first.

We qualify people all the time with the old home "retained as a rental."  You can use market rent for your area to offset the mortgage on the existing home to keep your ratios down.  You are running the risk that you will end up responsible for two mortgage payments if you can't sell your current home quickly enough.  In my area, that's not a problem because the market is hot (that's why no seller will accept a buyer's offer if it's contingent on selling the current residence... there are so many buyers out there that they don't have to.)

Yes, I did once.\n\nIts all down to the risk factor. Do you have the confidence and knowledge to run your own business? Are you prepared to forfeit a regular and safe income for the dangers of not having that safety net? \n\nBeing out on your own can be a pretty lonely place. I failed miserably. It wasn't for me and I finished up with a breakdown, however, it did give me a chance to re-evaluate my career and change direction. I've gone from working in a commercial environment to working with vulnerble and excluded youth in a charity. Less money but so much more job satisfaction! \n\nI wouldn't rule out going into business, but check out all other options before you make up your mind. If are really finding the situation you are in too stressful, it would be a good idea to consider change. \n\nGood luck\nMartin (42) and finally found my vocation!!

I think you got the wrong idea about renting, the type of answers in this section deal with renting real property, not personal property.  You may get better answers by posting in Other- Business & Finance or in the Small Business section.

Yes you can. In this instance I would suggest finding someone in your area who buys properties for rental purposes. See if they will talk to you about how they purchase propery. There are a few who constantly buy property with little out of pocket capital. There are also books by Robert Kyosocki, and Cources by Carleton Sheets that do work that can teach you how to do this. \n\nYou can even find small trailer park communities in your area. and purchase them for $1,000 to $6,000 clean them up and resell them at double the price and offer financing with 10% interestes for couples trying to find the first home. you can quickly flip several of these and creat a significent down payment for a home of your choice and just use a bit of "Sweat equity".

I am assuming you mean renting it out to other people.  (Your question makes it sound like you want to rent a home yourself.)  If you own a second home, and you need the extra income to pay for the mortgage as opposed to losing it to the bank, I would say, yes.  Renting it out is a good idea.  I have two other homes, both rentals.  I purchased them for that exact reason.  The income I receive for rent each month, is about $750.00 over the mortgage on them.  So I make a profit of $750.00 each month, above and beyond the mortgage payment, for rent generated.  Hope this helps.

Be very honest with any property pwner you are looking to rent from.  Tell them the details of your situation and let them decide if they want to give you the benifit of the doubt.  Don't try to hide is as it always crops up when you do that.
