Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Georgia
lease deposits
Last year we signed a lease agreement and had to pay about $3000 down. Our lease is about up, if we don't buy the house ( if we can't get a mortgage'' are we entitled to that ''downpayment back''?

It depends on the terms of the lease agreement. There are probably conditions that must be met in order to get back your deposit.

Re: lease deposits
The answer will depend on what the lease says about the issue. You should have a local attorney review the agreement.
