I am currenlty a home owner. There is me and my little girl and now my bf lives with us. Our intention is to buy a place together but we wont be able to get a joint mortgage, although my bf works for himself its not regular work so he is classed as unemployed which means I am restricted as to where I can buy!!! I was thinking of putting my home on a buy to let mortgage and renting it out so that I have something to fall back on or in the longer term my daughter will have the house and I thought about renting myself on a short term tenency to give the property market chance to settle. I am very torn about this and any words of wisdom would be really appreciated. Thank you for taking the time out.

Quick House Sale

I’ve been trying to sell my condo for a few months now, but the market is really slow and I’m competing with short sales/forclosures hitting the market at nearly $50K less than what I’ve listed at. I realize this is a buyer’s market, so I’m considering just renting out my place and keeping it as an investment property instead. Or would it be wiser to do a lease option (rent to own) sale?

Rent Back Fast

they buy your property about 10-15% cheaper than the market value,with the option of you renting it back- do you think these companies are dodgy. I am in the process of selling my flat to one of these people, not to rent back, just because i want to get rid quick, but i am worried i am going to get stung- has anyone got any stories to share?

Quick House Sale

After years of renting and pretty much throwing away money, I’d like to buy a property in London next year. I don’t want to stretch myself too much in case of interest rate rises, but I’m terrified that in a few years there will be an almightly crash and I’ll lose my money. How likely is this?
