My mother needs to put in a new fence and it seems as if the previous neighbors put the old fence about a foot inside my mother’s property. Of course, if she will put in a new fence she wants to make sure it accurately covers her property. How can we determine where her property boundary lines are at, before seeking a land survey? What LA county office would house this information?

NM asked:
Hi! We are loaning a significant amount of money to a relative and wanted to know if there is any way to make a claim on their property without transferring title, or if we do transfer title, do we have to pay taxes? They currently have a tenant (not themselves) in the property they own. How do we go about getting claims to the property with them continuing to receive rent and be responsible for the upkeep of the property? We have already made a promissory note… should we add it as collateral without transferring the property?

I’d like to buy a property in Canada and rent it out and am thinking of using a property management company to find the tennant, and deal with day to day issues.
I’d like to buy a property in Canada and rent it out and am thinking of using a property management company to find the tennant, and deal with day to day issues.
Is it a percentage of the rent? Or is it a fixed fee? Actually is it worth using a property management company?
Thanks!

We’re looking to buy a home in Michigan within the next month or so…if the property taxes for the previous years averaged around 3K a year…does this mean this will likely remain the case, give or take a few dollars? Can property taxes go up astronimically without warning?

Looking in Prince William County Virginia. Does the property assessment from the county have anythinig to do with the appraisal from the bank when buying a home? I ask because I came across the county’s site that shows the value of the homes as of this past January and the assessment is significantly lower than the sale/listed price of the homes, one of them was more than double. Should I not be worried about the county’s assessment of the property?
