Can I borrow my downpayment on a house?

I don't want to pay the tax you pay if you put less than 20% down on a house but I don't have enough - can i borrow that money? Can i just have it rolled up into my mortgage or take out a different loan to cover the 20%?

Buying a house with a crack foundation?

The house of my dreams is for sale and has been on the market for 6 months. I finally went to see it and I want to buy it but I think the reason it has been on the market for so long is because it has a cracked foundation. They are selling as is. How much will it cost to fix that? Is it worth buying the house with a cracked foundation if it is my dream home!

Why are houses so expensive?

I am finally ready to buy. I have been renting for years and I want to own. I have been paying $1400/month in rent recently for a 2 bed 1 bath and I was hoping that I could buy a slightly bigger home and have a similar monthly mortgage payment but I can find nothing. Even outside of my desired area home prices are going crazy. What should I do? Why are home prices so high will they come down?

What is my first step for selling my house?

We've decided to sell but I have no idea what I should do first. Do i talk to a contractor and get everything updated and fixed first? Do i have to get pictures taken on my own? Do I talk to the bank because we have a mortgage? We haven't even looked at other houses yet so I don't know where we are moving.

What to do about bad schools?

When we bought our house 25 years ago the schools were great. We wanted to live here because they were so highly rated. But in the last few years there have been funding cuts and the schools have just gone down the tubes. We live in a very family friendly area with parks, near grocery stores, etc. And our home isn't huge, so it's great for a starter home for a young family. But I'm worried that people with kids won't want to live in this area anymore. We don't have a lot of private options, and the public schools used to be so good. I don't know if it is smarter to wait and see if the schools get better in 10 years, or try to sell now and move while we can and want to.

We've been a month on the market?

Our home has been on the market for a month, in good condition and updated. We haven't had a single contract and only a few showings. We live in the country - we're disapppointed in our realtor and we're wondering if we should look for someone new. Our home wasn't showing up on zillow for our area and once we told our agent our concerns he looked into it and it was put in the wrong area on the mls. He has a full time job outside of being an agent. We aren't sure this is a priority. One open house. We've received no feedback from anyone on what we can do better and we have to get out from under this house. Thoughts?
