So I was recently talked into keeping our house instead of selling it this summer. We have tenants that signed a lease for two years which will end in August 2026. I would like to manage the property myself. I open to any tips for a rookie property manager. Where or what services should I use for general contracting, advertising, credit checks, etc. Hopefully the tenants plan to stay. They seem to be pretty happy. I will be living in MD and the house is in SC. submitted by /u/United_Pineapple8049 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1qvpnkt/tips_for_managing_your_own_property/

For those using concierge services (Second Nature, filter delivery, etc.) — how are you passing the cost to residents? Separate monthly fee, bundled into rent, or opt-in only? Any pushback or best practices you’ve learned? submitted by /u/PM_Nick_Stone [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1qvnp5v/thoughts_on_adding_concierge_charges_to_tenant/

I’m looking for commission-only real estate sales work. I can handle: •Lead follow-ups •Cold calling buyers/investors •WhatsApp + phone nurturing •Site visit coordination •Deal closing support If you’re a broker, developer, or agency sitting on good inventory but need someone to push leads harder, I can work full-time to convert. I’m disciplined, persistent, and comfortable with rejection — sales volume doesn’t scare me. I’m looking for a clear commission structure where closing deals can realistically generate ₹20 -25k+ in a month. DM me with: Property type & ticket size Location Commission per deal Lead source (inbound/outbound) Ready to start immediately. submitted by /u/Former_Elderberry_60 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1qvl9d6/looking_for_commissionbased_property_sales_work/

I've been wanting to buy a property for a long time but being in the mililtary made me not do it before. Now that i'm out of the military, I've been re-assessing myself if i'm financially ready to do it. I'm currently living in Oahu and plans to stay here for as long as I can. It's very expensive here compared to other states but I think I can make it work. I'm single and currently makes $119K. I have $100K in savings that can cover some of my downpayment. I have $90K in my TSP and $25K in my Roth IRA, which I can borrow money from if needed. I have no debt since my car is paid off and I pay off all my credit card every month. My credit score is 800+ last time I checked. I'm looking to buy a 2br townhouse around $500K with an HOA of $512. The lender gave me an estimate mortgage of $3300 monthly for a VA ARM rate of 5.25% with a 10% down. With all these in information, will I be fine financially if I decide to buy? I'm thinking that if things gets...

Good morning, My wife and I found a piece of land we like, and have now been pre-approved for a loan. We have never purchased real estate, so we want to make sure we are doing everything right. We do not have a buyers agent. I think I can now make the offer, right? Is there anything I should do before making the offer? We have walked around the property, but we don't know much more. I do know that there are some power lines running through it, so I assume there is a recorded easement somewhere. The property is being split from a larger parcel, so a survey will be needed. Should I make the offer contingent on the sellers paying for the survey? I am considering retaining an agent. I am an attorney, but I do civil litigation so I don't know much about real estate transactions. With enough time and effort, I'm sure I could figure this out, but I wanted to ask the esteemed folks of Reddit what y'all think. I would really appreciate any advice you may have. Thanks in ad...

Hey everyone, I’m looking at possibly buying a mobile home/moving into a trailer park, except I know nothing about the risk of it, if anyone could dm me with mobile home experiences and knowledge that’d be appreciated, I have so many questions to ask submitted by /u/Unable-Gap-2094 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1qut03g/looking_for_insight/

I can't wrap my head around people who are firm that there will be no crash, or as realtors love to say that prices "always just keep going up." I'm going to use my friend as an example. We live in a major US metro area. She bought a new home a few years ago for a little over $600k. I thought she was making a giant mistake. Don't get me wrong, it's a beautiful neighborhood, great pool and amenities, but it's a good hour at LEAST from the downtown hub/jobs. The house is very nice inside, but looks modest on the outside, not too big, and the neighborhood is very tightly built, not much land at all, houses sitting right next to each other. This screams middle class to me, it's brand new, but in a few years when it's not brand new, it's a solid middle class area/neighborhood. Now she paid about $600k for this home. If these realtors are correct, her home that at least an hour/hour and a half from the metro area, no land, OK not great schools, w...

There are a lot of conflicting information about which renovations actually add value when selling in the Bay Area. Kitchen remodels supposedly return 50-70% at sale but that number seems to vary wildly based on... what exactly? Level of finishes? Neighborhood? Buyer preferences? What's worked for people who've done strategic renovations recently with resale in mind? Is there any actual data on what improvements buyers are paying premium for in 2025 vs what's just nice to have but doesn't move the sale price? Specifically asking about kitchen vs bathroom investments. If the budget only allows for one really nice renovation, which one typically performs better? And within kitchens, is it worth splurging on high-end appliances or do mid-range appliances with nice countertops and cabinets actually return more? Same question about features like smart home integration, are buyers actually paying more for homes with that stuff or is it kind of a wash? Heated bathroom floo...

I have the phone number of the building manager. What do I ask him regarding deferred maintence, reserves, etc.? That's for a rental property. I'm also looking to get a personal residency. How can my real estate agent do it (I assume asking the same questions)? submitted by /u/Affectionate-Reason2 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1qtquws/how_do_i_determine_if_a_condo_is_a_bad_buy/
