Paris P asked:


I am exploring housing options for the near future, looking to buy my first house and willing to fix it up in order to sell in 3-5 years. I would be living in the house as I fixed it up as well. Is there any differences in buying foreclosed or pre-foreclosed houses vs. buying a realtor-listed house that’s for sale and making a low (but not too low) offer? Will it be worth my while to buy the listed house at a discount or should I go for a cheap foreclosure in order to get the best deal?

I am going through a strict foreclosure, in CT. I have a lien from a second mortgage and that mortgager is still trying to collect on that debt, should I still be paying on that or will that lien be taken care of through the foreclosure. What are my rights if any in this matter?

sweetsnuz asked:


If the house next door went into foreclosure and then sold for a much lower price than it was originally valued at, does the value of my house go down as well? If so, is this a problem if I am not planning on selling in the near future?

My husband and I are from Toronto, and are interested in purchasing a townhouse in Naples as a family vacation home and rental property. The townhouse is new and is being sold by the builder. How is the real estate market in Naples? Is it less affected by the sub prime problems? Have the property values in Naples fallen as much as in other cities in Florida?
