- intersted in renting your place 3 bedroom moving in march end of march and also was wondering how much is your 2 bedroom
  Answer by Frank Diaz, MBA, RA: Hi Alger, I would be very cautious when trying to rent a place on the Internet. Do NOT send any money until someone you know has seen the place personally. This particular place lists an 866 number, instead of 808, not a good sign. If you want to call this complex directly, try http://www.apartmenthomeliving.com/apartment-finde […]

- Is it legal for a seller to accept cash and subtract the amount from reported house price?
  Answer by Frank Diaz, MBA, RA: Nico, That's why everything should go through escrow. There are possibly things going on behind the scenes that you don't know about. What if they seller leaves and moves to Mexico or The Bahamas with your money. NOT a good idea. If I did this, I would be fired and possible lose my real estate license. Frank Diaz (RA) […]
- I never had credit and I got no credit history. I won a law suit and want to by a house. I have good income but just got a credit card i pay 1400 rent
  Answer by Frank Diaz, MBA, RA: Aloha Catina, I would talk to your bank and/or credit union and a mortgage lender or broker (I can recommend a few if you like). It's a good idea to talk to 2 or 3 different people to get an opinion on your situation and possible loan terms. It can vary according to state, type of property and even by complex or neighborho […]
- How does "fractional ownership" work? Is it merely sharing a property? Whose name is on the title? Do you actually own part or all?
  Answer by Frank Diaz, MBA, RA: A few references for you: http://www.trulia.com/voices/Home_Buying/What_is_the_pros_and_cons_of_fractional_ownership_-264429 http://www.trulia.com/voices/Property_QandA/whats_this_day_fractional_ownership_do_we_own_the-85571 […]
- How does "fractional ownership" work? Is it merely sharing a property? Whose name is on the title? Do you actually own part or all?
  Answer by Frank Diaz, MBA, RA: Hi Dede, The reason all sites don't have the same info, is because of the fields that can pick up from the original listing and display. Either part of the land is available for use, or all of the land is available for use some of the time. It is shown as fractional on Realtor.com http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes- […]
- Will any agent or broker list my property for a 6% commission and split it with other brokers 1% and 5% and keep 1% for themselves?
  Answer by Frank Diaz, MBA, RA: Possible, yes? Likely, no? The amount of work involved with finding a seller, researching the correct price, agreeing on a price, and listing a home is only part of it. Working with agents, buyers, reviewing offers, following up with the agents, escrow companies, etc. is a lot of work. In some cases, if you are buying a home af […]

- How hard is it to purchase a second home (coop or condo) if I plan on renting the first home to a family member?
  Answer by Frank Diaz, MBA, RA: Melou, It sounds like you want to rent out the entire residence to a third party. The third party (family member) is paying most of the mortgage. I don't know if they are on the loan or not. Again, you have to show that the income is documented and talk to a lender. Your bank loan officer or credit union loan officer shoul […]
- How hard is it to purchase a second home (coop or condo) if I plan on renting the first home to a family member?
  Answer by Frank Diaz, MBA, RA: Yes, you can. Check with your lender or mortgage broker on how to document the income, including deposits and the lease itself. Good luck on the new purchase! Frank Diaz (RA) MBA, e-PRO, REALTOR® East Oahu Realty 808.723.0900 cell […]

- How would I find out which realtor has the most sales and quickest closings in the past 6 months in the Steele Creek Area?
  Answer by Frank Diaz, MBA, RA: I agree with Ron and Dave. Faster and more is not better. Some companies have several people in a team, that crank out a dozen sales a month. It does not necessarily mean better service. Sometimes owners want to try a slightly higher price (against an agent's advice) and the listing takes longer to sell. Or, they just don […]
- Question removed
  Answer by Frank Diaz, MBA, RA: Me, We (where I live) typically change the status of the listing 4 days after all inspections are completed and disclosures have been signed. That normally only leaves a few contingencies....financing, and a survey. Good luck! […]
