Real estate law

Note* I understand this isn't official legal advise ... I have a friend looking to get into real estate. I'd like to invest capital to get him started in Idaho and Washington. Is there a legal way to do this. There are statues that say he can't share commissions, but can he share profits? Or is there a way people typically structure such things?

Storage file for foreign currency

My wife and I travel quite a bit and have accumulated a bit of various foreign currency. At first I just saved a few notes as a memento of our travels, but as we travel more and more, sometimes returning to prior destinations, I'm trying to think of a good way to keep the moneys separate and organized for future trips. Right now in my wallet I have US dollars (I'm American), Ukrainian Hryvnias, Polish Slotys, and Icelandic Kronas. I have several other notes in a file cabinet at home (Belize, Costa Rica, French Polynesia, Mexican Pesos,....) What I'm thinking is maybe I could find some kind of expandible file or file unit that has multiple clear plastic holders for various international currencies, so the next time we travel to a particular country we just go pull out that currency. Any ideas on a product I could buy for this? Quick searches on Amazon and Ebay didn't immediately turn up an ideal product. I think it will make me feel like an international man of myste

Real estate professionals, what are your data collection needs and experiences?

Any AppFolio Users here?

I'm working on an AI property manager that can handle calls and interact with tenants just like a real person. We're starting off by integrating it with AppFolio. I'd love to chat with some of you to get your thoughts and see if this could be helpful in your day-to-day. submitted by /u/ta_nush [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1g4u7pn/any_appfolio_users_here/

Any advice on what this could mean?

I put an offer on a home that was listed a week ago. The agent told us there were 8 offers and we were in the top 3. Our offer was over asking with no contingency and 30 day close. Our agent asked the selling agent to see if our offer was competitive enough or if we should go up in order to be included in the counter. The selling agent said no and that she would keep us posted after she connected with the sellers. We received an update that we have 72hrs to give our best and final offer. We are willing to go up again in price but also unsure how much more we should be offering? They didn’t give us a counter amount and only requested best and final. Wondering if this means we are still in the running? Curious what others think of this situation. submitted by /u/lkt783 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1g4t4dn/any_advice_on_what_this_could_mean/

First time buyer / investor pay more or pay less right now?

Curious to learn more from real investors from here. In a dilemma on my first property. Should I buy a duplex that has one current tenant way below market value on rent (lease ends Dec) and I could move into other side now. Mortgage payments are just at my top limit in scraping by on budget if I kept their current tenant rental amount. I could see renting out the other unit for easily $500 more than current rent. Also I could see the growth on his duplex sky rocket faster than any other single family I could get. I could absolutely live in the duplex for a long time. This duplex is also in the middle of a downtown area with up and coming businesses, restaurants, parks, etc. Or buy a way cheaper single family home with a much lower mortgage, not have a duplex, but a single family home that I can rent out if I ever move for more than my mortgage payment? This option also doesn’t tie me down to an area. I’m able to save more monthly in the short term. My question is, if I save m

Fl RealEstate

Hi All, I wanted to hear your take on the FL real estate. Currently live about 23 mins from Sarasota with no damage due to the recent storm. I know now is not a time to sell, but I’m hearing typically summer time is slow, election years make it even slower and with the recent hurricane homes are just sitting. If you don’t mind sharing would love to hear from you all the cycles and better understanding of what an election year has to do with home selling/buying. submitted by /u/sporty6blonde [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1g46gw2/fl_realestate/

Fire agent?

Our condo has been listed since April 2024. Priced it similar to other condos in the area. We’ve basically completely renovated it (kitchen, bathrooms, new floors). We had several open houses and showings in the beginning. No offers. Took it down and relisted about 50 days ago, did an open house and nothing. Price has been dropped ~50K since we initially posted it and other units have sold for similar price and higher than our initial price. The last unit that sold is slightly larger, zero reno and sold for 30% higher than ours. Same view, 1 additional parking space. Is my agent not moving enough to get this sold? submitted by /u/StalkingAnto [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1g44jr1/fire_agent/
