Cindy E. asked:

First time poster needing help. Moving out of a rental home that I have occupied for the last 2 years into a new home. The owner asked me to clean the carpets after I move my furniture out. It's not stated in my lease that I have to do this but must leave the house clean. I'm thinking of just doing spot removal and vacuuming the rest of the house. I really don't want to shell out another $200-300 to have the house professionally cleaned when he already has my $1000 deposit and after moving all weekend, I doubt I'll have the patience to clean his carpets for 4 hours so he can sell the home faster. Any advice on how to make the carpets look cleaner without having to hire a pro or do it myself for 4 hours? Thanks!

Pretty S asked:

I have the idea and I've printed business cards, I have a domain name and I'm working on a website, and I know what I have to do, but I'm stuck.

I feel nervous to start making phone calls and doing the marketing! I need some advice and motivation.

I'm going to do a home staging business (decorating homes to sell faster and for more money - like the TV show "Sell tThis House") - so I have to start calling real estate agents, and putting ads on craig's list.

I think I'm afraid to actually do this. Help?

I'm a first time homebuyer. I figure that when I get the house paid off the value of the dollar will be much different than it is today. How can I wrap my head around this?

A generic example: Purchase $100K (I wish!) home today. For the sake of discussion, lets say I sell it the minute the loan is paid off. So, I'm spending 2009 dollars and "cashing in" on 2029-2039 dollars (depending on how fast I can pay), right?

Here is where I get stuck. If I sell the home for, lets say, 200K in 2039, the "net" profit would be 100K. But taking into account the inflation, I would guess that 100K in 2009 dollars would be worth close to 200K in 2039 dollars. So no profit at all, maybe even a loss. Does that make sense? Feel free to ask me to clarify if I am confusing or confused.

I know we can't predict the future, but I would like to know a bit about the theories in practice.

So, Theoretically, if inflation continues at its current pace, how much will a 100K house need to be worth in 2039 to realize any profit?

I also don't see how housing values can climb forever, but that's for another question.

Thanks.

tough asked:

I have a 1997 Liberty 14x52 mobile home in Missoula, Montana. The area is growing faster than imagineable and is a great university town. Payments are low and so is lot rent, but being a divorced single parent is difficult and has brought hardships which I'm recovering from.

I know about eBay, but what are some other creative options? I don't want the responsibility of renting the house. I want to cut my ties with it and move on.

What is the best option in trying to sell a mobile home when you don't earn a lot and would like to move to another state quickly?

Professional real estate agent's suggestions are very welcome and highly recommended at answering this question.
