I live in Utah and I am planning on purchasing a home for the first time. I am a 22 year old single mother and i have been approved for a home loan and now i am looking for my house, I really need to keep out side costs to a minimum (if that’s possible). I really feel like i am out there all alone. What are the things i am supposed to ask when i am looking at the house? Should I bring someone with me or can I go alone? I hear about these horror stories about people purchasing a home and not finding out it has thousands of dollars worth of damage until after they have moved in, i would really like to avoid anything like that, how do i do that? Do I have to hire a Realtor or Broker? Is there a list of things somewhere on line that I can look at so I get an idea of what I am doing? Sorry i am just so confused all of my family lives out of state and everyone I know here is my age and knows about as much about buying a home as I do. Also I am not sure if this helps but i am a paralegal at a law firm that specialized in Developmental and Real Estate law, most of the Attorneys have said that they are more than happy to read over all the contracts and fine print (free of cost) but that doesn’t really help me with my other dilemma. Thank you for your help, I am going to need it
Question about notice to vacate a rental apt in Utah?
Hopefully someone knows real estate law… We have a month-to-month agreement with no official lease. How many days notice do I have to give before vacating? If I give my notice on May 14th, do I still have to pay for the whole month of June?
