Should I Be Worried! Please Help – About to Purchase Condo?

Ok, first thanks for reading this question.

My wife and I purchased a Condo Last Year in Chicago for 360k, this Condo was under construction and will be ready in July. We already gave 36K deposit for earnest money which will be used as down payment. We plan on putting another 36k at least to make 20% down. We might put more down, maybe even 100k total.

We make combine 70K and have a combined credit score of about 680 -

My question is – do we qualify for a traditional 30 year fixed at a good interest rate? Is it even possible to do a 15 year fixed with our income.

I’m a little worried we will not qualify for a loan because of our low combine income(70K).

The condo has 3 bedrooms so we plan on renting 2 of them out for 1000k a month to help out with the mortgage (do lenders consider rental money and should I even mention it?)

Thanks for any help =)

Are you a property investor?Fantastic profit to be made.?

I am an English architect living and working in Bangkok,I have designed a 6 storey condo to be built at a seaside resort called Hua Hin.In total there will be 79 units in the building plus full amenities including s/ pool,car parking and landscaped gardens.What is the attraction of investing here?Land prices very low also labour cheap There is a shortage of condos for sale.Buyers will be wealthy Thais and ForeignersThe original investor at present has a cashflow problem,This is why I am seeking another investor to take his place,I can provide a breakdown showing cost of construction relative to condo sales,Please this is a serious question,My last point to be made is that I do speak Thai,Have won many design awards for buildings, .

Is it in my best interest to remodel my condo, I am not sure what to do?

I have a condo in southern California, I could sell it for about $400,000 as it is 1650 square feet, 3bd/2.5 ba and has a yard and 2 car garage. It is pretty much a single family home, only it does not have a front yard and it has a condo ownership.

It is not attached to any other condos and looks like a regular home.

I want to do some light remodeling like a new kitchen, update the bathrooms, and replace the doors and tear down a wall. I have already done a few home improvements like a new patio, new vinyl windows and new paint, appliances and carpet.

My whole project will cost about $33,000 including labor and materials.

My wife and I plan to stay in the house since we have paid it off and it is in a good location in California.

Is $33,000 too much to invest in my condo? I could get 400k now and its not looking so hot. My reason for the updates is not for resell but to make our home more custom so we stay happy where we are.

Appraising a detached condo/PUD I find the owner has a ground lease of 99years-?

and pays taxes on the land, without recent sales of comparables what effect would this have on value- I dont think the average buyer is sophisticated enough for there to be a difference in value- what would you do in the report~ would you – or how would you address a long term ground lease appraising a condominium?
This is a Condominium meaning “ofcourse” they own the airspace you know a vertical subdivision, the structure has collateral value, the land lease is just a plus to a condominium.
