1 AnswerLand Phones1 decade agoIs this mortgage fraud?
There's a builder in my town who offers something called a 'home trade program'. Just like trading cars, they buy your house when you buy theirs. That's not the part in question. They'll pay several thousand more for your house than it's worth if they need to so that you can afford to buy their higher priced homes. I do know that there are legal limits to where you can get cash to put into a house, and that it has to be disclosed (like a gift from a parent or something). And that the builder couldn't just give you $25,000 to use to purchase his house. so is it basically the same thing to pay you $25,000 extra for your house?
The other side of the story is that the houses you buy from them are overpriced about $25,000 (compared to other houses in the neighborhood).

An Indiana couple - Patrick Atkins and Brett Conrad - were separated after one partner's incapacitating illness.

7 AnswersOther - Politics & Government1 decade agoAre environmental issues central to your religious beliefs?
Do you believe that it's o.k. to harm a gift like life on this planet by killing species, dirtying water and air. If you believe in Intelligent Design, do you believe that it's o.k. to randomly interfere with the design. Some churches are taking up environmental issues. I'm sincerly asking this question, so please no inflamatory remarks. If you have scripture to back up your position, I'd like to know it, except Genesis 1:26 - God gave dominion over the earth. If you quote that, tell my why you think dominion doesn't come with responsibility to care for it.
5 AnswersReligion & Spirituality2 decades agoWould you live in a place like this?
My company is developing a brand new community, mixed-use development is all the buzz. That's where some residential might be above some retail/office like in downtowns, but all shiney and new. Theoretically, you can walk or short drive to many things like shopping, medical, work, school, etc.
If you would live in such a place, tell me about yourself - are you single, married, with kids; blue collar, professional, student, retired; low, moderate or high income, etc.
8 AnswersRenting & Real Estate2 decades agoFried ignition wiring, melted clamps on the battery, What's going on?
I have a 1997 Mercury outboard motor. The marina lost the keys so I had to get a new ignition installed. Then It started when the clamps melted off of the battery posts (not the postes themselves), they blamed the starter and replaced that. Then nothing happened when I turned the key, they blamed the voltage regulator and changed that, nothing happened, then he took the ignition out and the wiring was fried. Could it have been a miswired ignition or bad voltage regulator all along? I know nothing so please be clear.
