Q. I live in Maryland and want to change careers. I am primarily interested in a career in residential real estate, but I do NOT want to become an Agent working for a brokerage/real estate firm. I also need to know how long it takes to complete any required training and the current job market for Home Inspectors. I welcome all answers directly related to my question, but please do not send links or offers for the many real estate investment programs that are available for purchase.

Does anyone know of a site with real estate sale prices?
Q. Does anyone know of a free website that has the sale prices of real estate in Queensland, Australia? I can find some ones, but they cost money.
A. Well, I'm not sure how things work in Australia but in most parts of the USA you can go to the county tax assessors office website and look at property information throughout the city. That's what I did when I bought my house. I looked up the deed to the home and the county tax records (Which also provide date of sale and final sales price/sales history. Some county assessors sites provide GIS maps so you can look up your house and then click on all of the neighboring home on the map to learn about their values and sales histories. All complements of the government and public records.
Good luck.
Good luck.
Can a home insurance company increase the amount of insurance on your house without your request?
Q. Of course when the amount of insurance in increased, the insurance premium also increases. I have only $125,000 left on the mortgage and insurance company has increased the insurance to cover a value of $305,000. Real estate value of the home is $450,000. My credit rating is excellent and I have not had any insurance claims
A. Yes. Part of the policy condition is that you insure the home to either 80%, 90%, or 100% of the replacement value, on a standard HO3 Homeowners form. So, if you want the type of policy that is NOT a replacement policy, you'll have to get a whole different kind of policy.
Of course, a FLAT RATE policy costs about ten times as much as a standard policy.
Real estate value, or market value, has NOTHING to do with the cost to rebuild. If the house burns to the ground, the insurance company does NOT have an option to "buy" it from you for the face amount - they are required to rebuild.
So, you can do it your way, and pay a way, way, way lot of money for a small amount of coverage, or you can do it the insurance company's way, and insure to full replacement value, for less money.
Or, what most people like you prefer to do, is just get a personal loan for the balance of the mortgage, so you can pay off the mortgage, and not insure the house at all. Check out this site, if you want to find the cheapest home insurance just in one minute,
