When I run a search on the net, it returns junk sites… any reason why?

December 24, 2009 - 2:40 pm 1 Comment

Let’s say I run a search in yahoo for something general… such as "at home cold remedies". It will find several results, however, the results are for junk sites. i.e., the first result that shows says, "Learn self-care home remedies to ease your cold symptoms. Looking for a natural cold remedy? What about zinc, echinacea, and vitamin C? … Here are 12 cold remedies you can use right now — at home — to feel better…." but the actual website listed that it takes me to is "www.realestate-nationwide.net". Why is this happening and what can I do to stop it?

This is because you have a virus that is hijacking your browser. You need to scan your computer with your anti-virus software.

I did your search on Yahoo, and I see the result that you mention, and I clicked on it, and it goes to webmd.com

Where can I need help for expert in realestate investing?

You will need 680 credit to get a loan easily. Depending on the type of property, how well it cash flows and how the contract is written, you will likely need 10-15% down payment. An SBA loan may be a good way to go. You can talk to most major banks and even credit unions about getting one.

Hi, would like some of your input into this matter and hopefully some advise that can guide in the right direction. The situation is a big mess and even my lawyer is not providing me any helpful tips. First of all the owner delayed the settlement 2 times causing me to find accomodation elsewhere for the last 2 weeks. When i asked my lawyer since my loan was approved on 24th sept can the owner be charged rent? He said no, NSW laws favor the owner and we can’t do anything. So i had bought some furniture as well for which now i was paying storage fee. Lawyer’s (A-hole) assistant says its nothing to do with property and can’t help. So yesterday (8/10/18) is when the settlement took place at around 3pm. Interesting the owner only moved out on that same day around mid-day from what i gather from neighbors. No one gives me a call as to what happened. so finally i decided to call the realestate and they say they have the key and i can sign for it and pick it up. so i pick the keys about 5pm and go to the house at 6pm. what horror i saw there is just unimaginable. there is no cleaning done, cobwebs all over the walls and owners junk stuff still in the unit like a worn out washing machine which hasn’t been thrown out, cupboard full of junk paper things. i didn’t accept this and since it was late i called both the realestate and lawyer about this. realestate said they will look into this and lawyer said very little he can do after settlement. i asked a few people at my work and they said that is not on, and the lawyer should have just stopped the payment till things were fixed. others have said to get the cleaning done and do the invoice to the previous owner. im lost now, please help me with some advise.

if your in a hurry to move in; i suggest that you immediately document the incident. take photographs; walk through the house with two (2) friends as witnesses; note the damages; then have it cleaned; have the invoice clearly made indicating the cleaning made; the damage fixed and the costs;

then review your settlement agreement see if you accepted the house in good condition and if you have a waiver for claims and damages arising from his occupancy. these provisions might deny your claim. if your settlement is clear talk to your lawyer about suing the previous owner on the ground of unjust enrichment (solutio indebiti) and damages to the house.

this advise is no substitute for consulting with a lawyer.

I recently went though a forcloser last janurary due to my husbans loss of employment .I have been employed for 4and half years at the same job at full time hours .The banks wont consider a loan for thee years .I still would like to purchase a home on my own home.What help is there trough a private realestate investore?

Nobody but a close friend or a relative is going to give you money for a mortgage or a down payment.

Build up your savings and credit score and in about 3 years you and your husband should again be able to purchase a home through a real and legitimate mortgage lender. At this time you just have to be patient and work hard to pay all of your bills on time.

My house flooded and my husband is the biggest gossiper! He won’t stop telling people our home
flooded and how bad it was. I’ve told him to stop telling people but he won’t listen to me! He told every realestate agent whenever we looked at houses open for inspection aswell as everyone he sees. He was exhausted from the floods and he just wants sympathy thats why he keeps telling poeple. Now I can’t sell our home easily because the whole town knows. What can I do about this and how can I get a decent price for my home? Please help!

drop the price. it will sell once you find the right price.

How is the austin or san antonio realestate markets?

I’m moving from the very expensive california bay area and trying to a good place to renevate and sell houses. Can anyone tell me about these areas both for realestate and just for living?

Yall come on out!!

I just moved here from So Ca. But the real estate market is nothing like the CA market. Things don’t go up like they do in CA. It will take some time to get used to things here, like how slowly the real estate market moves. Picture a snail.

San Anton and Austin are pretty, but too humid for my likes.
I live 30 min. no of Dallas. The real estate market is pretty good here. But I have yet to buy anything to renov. and sell for a profit.
I do it all the time in CA, but here is really different. So you’ll just need to take your time figuring out how to go about it.
Their profit margin per unit sold is a LOT less here.
I love where I live, McKinney, TX its a great town.

Very best of luck,

totally freaked out need help fast.?
