What Can I Do If My Home Has Not Sold ... - Nashville Real Estate
Homes are not selling as quickly as they once had been. This can be a problem if you need to move quickly. Sometimes this happens when someone accepts a job in a different state. If you are in the situation you may be wondering what you can do with your unsold home. This article will provide you with ways to keep yourself from losing money each month.
If you find yourself in this situation, you may want to consider renting your Fountainbrooke Subdivision home. This will allow you to keep your current home until the market price increases. It also gives you the opportunity to find a home that you love and take advantage of the current lower prices. There are some things to consider when becoming a landlord.
The first question to ask yourself is if you have the temperament to be a landlord. Can you sleep knowing someone else is in your home? How will you feel if they are struggling with money and can?t make rent? When renting a property, you have to be objective. This is a business transaction and not a personal relationship. Think about how you will respond in a tough position.
You will also need to consider what rental price you are willing to accept. To do this it is best to look at various real estate websites to find out the rental price on similar rental properties in that area. Many times people hope to get a tenant that will pay the entire cost of the mortgage. Now in some areas this is very possible. In other areas you may want to consider a slightly lower price in order to get the property rented.
Once you have considered the above questions you may wonder where you find tenants. One of the most frequently used sources is craiglist.org. It is free to post, and your listing can be updated as needed. You could also hire a realtor to put your rental property online for you.
Once you find a tenant there are two ways to go. You can manage the property yourself of hire a realtor to take on those responsibilities. In my opinion, if you have the money to hire a third party, you should. They are more objective and are familiar with the eviction process.
Many people charge a lower pet deposit in hopes that someone will rent their home. These fees are typically non-refundable. What I would do is charge a higher fee that is fully refundable. This will motivate them to ensure that the pets do not make a mess in your home.
When you are renting out your home, it is a good thing to know the neighbors. Your neighbors can clue you in if something suspicious is going on in your home.

LAS VEGAS (AP) ? A judge granted Wayne Newton a temporary restraining order against his landlord Thursday amid stalled plans to turn his lavish Las Vegas estate into a celebrity museum ? a project that has sparked allegations of fraud, mismanagement, animal abuse and sexual harassment.
Clark County District Court Judge Elizabeth Gonzalez ruled that developer Steve Kennedy must stay 50 feet away from the Newton family and their home, effectively putting the brakes on construction to turn Newton's Casa de Shenandoah estate into a tourist attraction.
Kennedy, the manager of CSD LLC, filed a lawsuit two weeks ago claiming the Newton family was unwilling to move out of the house so it could be converted into a museum. The Newtons filed counterclaims alleging breach of contract and fraud.
The legal wrangling paints an uncertain future for Newton's 40-acre estate featuring South African penguins, Arabian horses, celebrity memorabilia and 17th-century antiques imported from European castles.
Newton told reporters after Thursday's hearing that he regretted entering into the deal with Kennedy.
"Totally," Newton said. "I don't like vultures."
Newton lives in the main house on the estate with his wife and their 10-year-old daughter. Kennedy purchased the property for $20 million in 2010 with the intent of building the Newtons a new $2 million home on the estate and converting the gold-trimmed main house into a public venue.
In his lawsuit, Kennedy alleged the Newtons unreasonably delayed the project by refusing to pick a location for their new home. The Newtons countered that Kennedy failed to obtain proper construction permits and did not act in good faith.
"They had no intentions whatsoever of creating a museum honoring Wayne Newton," said Newton's lawyer, J. Stephen Peek, during the hearing.
Newton attended the hearing with his wife, Kathleen McCrone Newton, and her sister, Tricia McCrone, who also acts as the family's publicist and lives in a guest house on the estate. During the hearing, Newton and his wife wore broad smiles, even as McCrone Newton shook her head repeatedly as the allegations that she and her husband had not been cooperative were presented.
Peek claimed Kennedy tried to punish the Newton family by ordering that they banish their prized collection of 55 Arabian horses. Kennedy allegedly removed rose bushes throughout the property that had been planted by Newton's deceased mother. Newton was also prevented from accessing his antique car collection featuring a 1978 Rolls Royce Corniche convertible built for actor Steve McQueen and a one-of-a-kind Bentley Sedanca Coupe, according to the court filings.
The Newtons also said that improper construction at the home caused several leaks, threatening their expensive art collection that includes paintings by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Salvador Dali and Vincent van Gogh. The family also claimed Kennedy filled up an artisan well that Newton previously used as his "meditation pond."
Kennedy's attorney Charles McCrea Jr. countered that the home had a faulty roof and that the well reeked of sewage, with the toxic fumes having killed three penguins that lived on the estate.
McCrea Jr. said the Newtons must vacate the property so construction can continue. He cited concerns about who would cover the expense of caring for the property's many horses, with costs reaching $40,000 each month. CSD wants to donate the horses to a ranch that has expressed interest in adopting them.
The lawsuit also claimed Newton sexually harassed a young female employee hired to train the horses by repeatedly kissing her on the mouth. The worker quit and has threatened to sue Newton and CSD, according to the lawsuit.
Newton said Kennedy and the woman had a personal relationship and that the woman begged for her job back after she was dismissed last year.
Kennedy declined to discuss the case as he was leaving the courtroom.
Newton said he hoped the museum will eventually open under a different owner.
"Time will tell if it is built," Newton said. "It will not be built under the present circumstances of management."
Both sides are expected to return to court on July 30.
Construction plans for the museum called for a zoo, visitors' center, car exhibition and a theater where Newton could perform live nightly. It was initially scheduled to open late last year.
Newton has lived at Casa de Shenandoah since 1968.

French hunt for Canadian porn actor in body parts murder case
MONTREAL?? The man killed in a videotaped attack that was discovered after body parts were mailed to Canada's top political parties was a Chinese student, police said Friday, as authorities in France searched for the suspect, a Canadian porn actor.
Montreal Police Cmdr. Ian Lafreniere identified the victim as Jun Lin, 33. Police have said he dated Luka Rocco Magnotta, who is now on Interpol's equivalent of its most-wanted list.
A senior French police official said he is sure Magnotta is in France and that Magnotta has been there in the past. Another French police official said Magnotta apparently flew to Paris from Montreal last weekend, before the case emerged.
Porn actor wanted for murder over body parts in Canada mail
Lafreniere said Jun Lin doesn't have family in Montreal, but a family member reported him missing on Tuesday. He had last been seen May 24. Lafreniere said the murder occurred the night of May 24-25, and the suspect left for Europe on May 26.
According to a missing person's notice on the website of the Chinese consulate in Montreal, the victim was from the city of Wuhan and arrived in Montreal in July 2011.
"He is a Chinese citizen who studied at a university here in Montreal and was here for a certain time," Lafreniere said. "Thanks to the Chinese embassy, we have been able to reach the family with the sad news of what happened."
The case began Tuesday, when a package containing a severed foot was opened at the ruling Conservative Party headquarters. A hand was discovered at a postal facility, addressed to the Liberal party of Canada. A torso was found in a suitcase on a garbage dump in Montreal, outside Magnotta's apartment building.

Montreal police have said they believe Magnotta, 29, fled for France based on evidence they found at his apartment and a blog he once wrote about how to disappear.
"What will hinder him the most is what he used to glorify himself, the Web, with all the photos we have of him," Lafreniere said. But he warned that Magnotta is "someone who can disguise himself, he can change into a woman, wear a wig."

France's fugitive search unit has been ordered to hunt for Magnotta, the French officials said. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak about such searches publicly. They gave no details about his suspected whereabouts.
Lafreniere said Magnotta could be anywhere in Europe, and "there's even been talk he might have returned to Canada under another identity."
Police suspect Magnotta filmed the murder. The video, posted online, shows a man stabbing another man with an ice pick while the victim lies naked and tied up. The first man later reveals he has slashed the other man's throat. He also dismembers the corpse and performs sexual acts with it.
"We have quite convincing proof of the crime he committed," Lafreniere said Friday, referring to the video.
Other body parts remain missing.
Police said Magnotta is also known by the names Eric Clinton Newman and Vladimir Romanov, and they described him as white and 5 feet 8 inches tall with blue eyes and black hair. A police official said he was a porn actor.
Derek MacKinnon, a former resident of the building where Magnotta lived, said he was the only person Magnotta would speak to in the building. MacKinnon identified himself as an actor who played a serial killer in the 1980 horror film "Terror Train."
"I was a killer who killed 11 people in this film, so he was rather interested in my career versus his," MacKinnon said. "It was like a quick conversation, not like anything big. And knowing that we were both gay, I think that's probably where he had the connection with me because he was extremely cold, standoffish, wouldn't talk to anybody, but he would stop for a sec to say something to me, and I think that he felt there was a kindred spirit or something between the two of us."
He said Magnotta "was always well groomed" until the last time MacKinnon saw him, on May 25. He said Magnotta was having "a bad hair day."
"It was red, and he normally is dark," MacKinnon said. "It looked like a really bad wig."
