Breaking a Florida Lease to buy a house.? We have found a great house in Florida during the current low housing market. We have recently renewed our lease until November.

If you buy a house in Florida, and then don't purchase some type of insurance? in case it gets destroyed by flooding, and/or a hurricane or some other type of natural disaster, is it safe to say that you are not intelligent? How about I will go buy a giant mansion in the middle of Kansas, and then when it gets sucked up by a tornado, the government can pay to build me a new one... In fact, YOU are paying for me to get a new one becuase FEMA is paid for by tax dollars. Tracy, that is exactly the point I am making. The government IS NOT responsible for someone's private property. The owner is. Tracy, that is exactly the point I am making. The government IS NOT responsible for someone's private property.

Will buying a larger house in Florida protect my mother's assets from Medicaid? My mother owns a house in Florida free-and-clear. When my father passed last August, my mother became sole owner of the house (she is also on the title). My mother/father have two sons: me (the youngest) and my brother (who is mentally retarded--he is qualified with Social Security as disabled). Both sons are adults. My father left me the bulk of his assets (the majority being the funds within his brokerage account) in order to assist me with the care of my retarded brother in the future. My mother is okay financially thanks to an annuity and social security. Thing is, I want to preserve these brokerage funds for the future. What if my mom ends up in a nursing home? To protect these assets, I want to gift the brokerage account funds to my mother. Then, my mother wants to sell her house and parlay the resulting funds into a new, larger house. She would also then apply the gifted brokerage account funds that I give her towards the new house. Will this protect our assets?

Should I wait to buy a house or buy now? I need about 30K for 20% down payment a 300K house. I live in a townhome now that will be very difficult to sell in Florida due to the market (and I have no equity in the townhome). I see some great deals on houses now but I will need about 3 years to save 30K. I am afraid by then, these deal will be gone and then prices will be high again. Should I rent my townhome now (I will have to pay about 300 month to meet the rent roll) and buy a home today (but I will only have 10% to put down) and sell my townhome in a few years when the market is better or just wait until I have the full 20% and sell my townhome and buy a house in 3 years and risk loosing a great deal today??? The townhome is very small and I will need to get a home soon.
Option To Buy A House Reimburstment? I made a business to buy a house in Florida. I agreed to buy the house in one year (to be completed this July). It had been discovered that the site was used to explode jeeps by the army and there is a class suit from the owners against the army for that purpose. The value of the houses had declined in more than half. Someone told me that if I jump from the business now because of this I will be entitled to get my money back. What do you think about this? Thank you
