why can't I change the pictures of my home on zillow?

Answer
"choose files" shouldn't be necessary to remove photos but if you aren't seeing it are you using IE as your browser?   Are you using Flash 11?  (see link).To remove photos, hover your cursor over the photo thumbnail and click on the little x in the upper right corner.

House not sold

Answer
The best way to report it to get it removed is to open the home details page, scroll down to the price history table and click on the flag on the right end of the row of erroneous numbers.   Describe it is an incorrect transaction. Zillow will verify with your county records office.

Regarding permits for a remodeling project

Answer
You got the right information from the permits department.   Plumbing and electrical modifications require permits (as well as any potential structural changes).  Should you chose to skip permits and later sell the house, don't be surprised if the buyer asks to see the permits.    If no permits were taken out, they may ask for you to obtain them and get them signed off before they will purchase.   We did so related to a kitchen remodel and it cost the seller almost $10,000 to get the permits, inspections, sign off etc.

Do people still do "rent to own"? how does that work?

Answer
Occasionally one can find a seller willing to consider "rent to own".   Is there a reason you may be considering this approach rather than traditional purchase? /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-style-parent:""; line-height:115%; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";}While the theoretical concept of rent with the option to buy may seem attractive, some of the realities are considerably less so. Owners who will consider rent to own are very rare, so it will cut down your options for properties considerably.   I consider it much smarter to spend a year or two working on improving your credit and (if necessary) saving up a good down payment.   Yeah, it is tough to move but it even tougher to lose a lot of money attempting to buy. Some features of rent to own:1.  Down payment required - often substantial (say 10% or more) and is non-refundable if the potential buyer doesn't purchase.2.  Monthly rental is above fair market rent, with the only amount going to purchase is the amount above the fair market rent.  This is also not refundable.3.  If not qualified for financing at the agreed upon  time and price, then you lose everything.  4.  The price is agreed upon at the beginning of the contract, and housing prices may still be decreasing.5.  You still depend on the owner to pay their mortgage.   If they fail, you lose and the bank forecloses on them.  If you do get involved in this, please involve an attorney in the contract.
