In the contract the sellers said that we are responsible for the back due fees up to 3% of the purchase price. The problem is that we don't know what the amount is. Seller says he *thinks* it's around $2000. Monthly dues are $69. My realtor is saying that we cannot know until we pay to file some thing (can't remember what he called it) and that this won't be done until the end of the process. I'm feeling like this is a bit unfair. I would like to know now. Can the seller ask the hoa for exact amount? Is that unreasonable to ask of him? There is a $5000 difference between 3% of the purchase price and "about $2000" and for me that is a big deal. Also, am I able to negotiate the payment with the hoa? Say $4000 is due, can I offer $2000?<br \><br \>5 replies Sat, 29 Sep 2012 05:49:00 GMT http://www.zillow.com/advice-thread/Buying-a-short-sale-with-an-hoa-lien/461910/ 2012-09-29T05:49:00Z Investment Property to Rent in Riverside, CA Area? http://www.zillow.com/advice-thread/Investment-Property-to-Rent-in-Riverside-CA-Area/437407/ <p>I'm new to investing into property though I have money invested in stocks, 401k and currently have a home in Eastvale.&nbsp; I wanted to possibly purchase a home for under 150k where it would be possible to rent it out for passive income.&nbsp; I figured I would start off with an area I'm familiar with so I was thinking of looking at properties around UCR.&nbsp; How is the rental market in this area?&nbsp; I do plan on doing this all completely with a Property Manager as this is something I do not wish to manage myself.&nbsp; Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.&nbsp; Thank you again.</p><br \><br \>3 replies Sun, 01 Apr 2012 07:10:00 GMT http://www.zillow.com/advice-thread/Investment-Property-to-Rent-in-Riverside-CA-Area/437407/ 2012-04-01T07:10:00Z Can a first time home buyer succeed with bad credit? http://www.zillow.com/advice-thread/Can-a-first-time-home-buyer-succeed-with-bad-credit/462098/ hello fellow zillowers,<br/>I'm a&nbsp;31 yr old&nbsp;single dad&nbsp;with a disabled child.

The other houses in the area are going for 140 - 220. This home is an older home in an older general neighborhood, but it is very close to a major mall and other shopping. The reason that this home goes for so much is because of its "paradise" like back yard. Pool, spa, built in outdoor bar, fountain, etc. Is it worth it to pay this much more than the general area is going for? This is a traditional sale.
