Hi everyone, I'm facing a bit of a dilemma and could use some advice. I'm taking a job overseas for at least 3 years and need to decide what to do with my current home. Here's the breakdown: House: Single-family home built in 1994, owned for 8 years Mortgage: $375k at 2.25% (VA loan) Market Value: ~$700k Rental Income Potential: ~$3200/month for much smaller nearby townhouses Renovation Costs: ~$100k to prepare for sale/rental Options: Rent Out: Potential income but ongoing maintenance and property management costs Risk of vacancies and tenant issues Long-term appreciation potential Sell and Invest: Lump sum of cash to invest in low-cost index funds (Fidelity ZERO International Index, Fidelity ZERO Total Market Index) Potential for higher returns than real estate, but market volatility Loss of potential long-term appreciation from the house Questions: Is it worth the investment to renovate my house for rental or sale? What are the potenti

Hello! Ive currently got about ~$55,000 between investments and savings. I make minimum ~$90k a year + overtime, bonus, and tips (~20k a year). I still live with my parents and dont have a lot of expenses so assuming everything goes smoothly ill have about $138k saved up by the end of 2026. What would be the best way for me to build wealth through real estate? Ive got a lot of family in contracting/construction and have been apart of house flips so I have some experience in that Im just not too sure what the best route would be for me/ how much money id be able to spend or afford for a flip or multifamily. submitted by /u/Ornery_Argument2441 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1gksup6/how_do_i_get_into_real_estate_with_138000/

My spouse and I have been trying to buy a house since August, and man I am starting to give up hope. Not only have rates increased but prices seem so out of of touch even with a significant down payment. It’s so difficult to want to buy when you know the person living next to you most likely pays way less than I would for the same thing. What do people predict is going to happen? I seriously don’t see how this can continue, we are just simply people wanting an average sized home in the city I was raised in, it doesn’t feel like it should be this hard. For reference I am located in Montana. submitted by /u/ConcentrateBudget985 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1gksdkq/what_to_do_next/

I was tasked to find buyers for my parents’ property. She asked for the lot plan because we couldnt find the right schedule (i have work) I created a copy w a watermark but I accidentally and carelessly sent the picture without a watermark. Is that lot plan in danger? :( can people fake documents with a lot plan??? submitted by /u/anon-like-frfr [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1gj9r2k/i_sent_the_lot_plan_to_a_buyer_help/

I am hoping that someone can assist me in determining whether a slab home with several cracks in the rear driveway has foundation issues. There are trees behind the house and an area for the water to drain into. Any help would be appreciated. MODS can I please add a photo. It is greyed out.

Looking for alternative ways to generate revenue with my Matterport camera (other than residential real estate). Business is hit and miss with real estate agents in my area. submitted by /u/Realistic_Proposal90 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1giiryo/making_money_with_matterport_camera_other_than/

I went under contract on a house a few weeks ago, after appraisal it was confirmed that the house was more than 2000sqft less than claimed on MLS. I asked to cancel the contract and seller is refusing to sign. This was all under an LLC and I did some digging and found that seller went to prison for mortgage fraud, has a lot of lawsuits . So it doesn’t appear to me that he’s the kind of seller that would pay if there was a court order from small claims . I’m still within financing contingency but I’m afraid it’s a state that requires both to sign . To make matters worse the listing agent has relisted the home for sale while my EMD has not been released. So I’m trying to figure out what my options are here. Both agents said they will contact title. submitted by /u/offmychestties [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1giiain/seller_lied_about_sqft_and_wouldnt_release_ed/

I am in the process of creating a living trust and transferring my house located in California into the trust. The house was purchased 10 years ago. I was reading the fine print of the legal description in my grant deed and title insurance policy for the first time (I know, should have done it 10 years ago) and noticed it has an error when I compared it to the map attached to the documents. The error is on the "book number" (as in "Book 210 of maps at page 20"). Everything else (lot number, tract number, county name, document number, apn number) and the parcel description are correct. How serious is this discrepancy? Do I need to contact the county recorder, an attorney, and everyone and their mother to fix it?
