Better search filtering? Like avoid next-to-highway?

Why isn't it easy in this advanced computer age to make simple filters like only showing homes at least X distance from a highway or major road? Is there such a method? submitted by /u/wolftune [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1rh2pko/better_search_filtering_like_avoid_nexttohighway/

What is the ROI on new garage door?

Hey all, I am looking at selling my home soon. Market estimate is $1.125 so we'll probably list at $1.15. My garage is a 16x8 Wayne Dalton colonial style with the insulated panels, however, we live in a relatively windy area and the garage is west facing. The builder didn't add more than basic strut supports, unfortunately. Because of these two issues, I have some vertical creases that have formed between panels from the wind pressure, and since it's westward, I can't paint it black to potentially hide the creases (the temperature variance could lead to delamination of the insulation). So, my question is whether it's worthwhile at this price point to install a new door with the support struts, and if so, should I get a typical white colonial door or should I get a carriage door? My house is white with black accents, would a from-factory black door provide better returns? Functionally the door is fine. The creases aren't huge, but I don't know the impact ...

Should I fix dry wall crack in the garage before selling

I have a thin but long (12 ft) drywall crack in the ceiling of my garage. The crack is located at the seams where the drywall pieces meet. It’s been patched when I moved in but it’s back. It’s most likely related to my heavy wooden garage door that’s attached in that area. All my neighbors with wooden garage doors have a similar drywall crack. Would I lose a lot of potential buyers if I leave the crack there? My house has no other visible issues. It costs around 1k to patch up and I am debating if it’s worth it. submitted by /u/sneakaleak1 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1rh13uw/should_i_fix_dry_wall_crack_in_the_garage_before/

Best way to ship from CA to Ohio

I am moving from California to Ohio. I already shipped most of my stuff. A few left. I need to ship ten wall art, very light, 30”x60”. What is the most cost effective method? It can be slow. The volume does not warrant ubox or pod. submitted by /u/Ayshe27 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1rg4cvq/best_way_to_ship_from_ca_to_ohio/

Dream home or starter home?

I’ve stumbled into a position where my father in law, fiancĂ©, and I all are ready to buy a home. I don’t make a lot of money but my fiancĂ© makes pretty good money and her dad makes great money. We currently have $90k ready for a down payment. We have found our dream home: lots of land, good land, nice house, almost perfect location, etc. The house is 430k. Now here’s the question: Should we put ourselves in some debt to get this house and be certain we will have access to our dream home or should be buy a ~$200k house and plan to pay it off real quick and hope to sell? submitted by /u/dannonyogurt33 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1rg3ya5/dream_home_or_starter_home/

Philly suburbs comparison

Hi, I’m looking to buy a single-family home or townhome in the Philly suburbs that I can live in for a 5-10 years and then rent out as an investment. Narrowed it down to Phoenixville or Malvern, PA. Both areas suit my lifestyle. Phoenixville seems up-and-coming with the revitalized downtown, breweries, and younger vibe, but Malvern feels more tried-and-true with established schools, parks, and that classic suburban stability. All else being equal (similar property types and cost), what are your thoughts on which might be better long-term for appreciation, rental demand, and ease of living/renting? Any experiences with buying/renting in either spot? Pros/cons I might be missing? Thanks! submitted by /u/Piratessus [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1rg2k6v/philly_suburbs_comparison/

Discouraged by online hate towards realtors

So I just finished high school and now trying to figure out what I want to do in my life. I've been leaning towards real estate for a long time now and so I went online to try and find pre-licensing courses. But somehow, I ended up in rabbit hole of rampant deep hatred for realtors... People were saying horrible things like how useless, no value realtors are and how they are 'leeches' of society. Seeing all these posts honestly was just so crushing and I don't understand how you could have so much hate for someone just because of their job? It's so discouraging because it just means I'm working towards a career hated by so many.. Its a career I genuinely like and am interested so I can't help but be hurt seeing how it's perceived by everyone else. I really wish I didn't see all that submitted by /u/Antique_Carpenter726 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1rf8lj2/discouraged_by_online_hate_towards_realto...

Best thing to do with flood zone next door?

The property next door to mine is owned by a local housing authority that builds public housing. However, it's in a flood zone and they've owned it fire 35+ years. They'll almost certainly never build on it. There's also a TON of wildlife that uses that area and the creek corridor behind our house & through the neighborhood. Deer, raccoons, squirrels, rabbits, even foxes and coyotes. Have also seen TONS of songbirds, a Peregrin falcon, Hawks, even a bald eagle. The city (800k population) has a designation for Riparian Buffer zones for small water bodies/wildlife corridors like this. I'm thinking about petitioning the city to have it transferred from the housing authority to the parks department to be designated that way. Is that a good idea? Are there better options? What are the pros & cons? What impact would that have on my house and its resellability & resale value? Environmentally, it seems like kind of an important wildlife corridor, especially ...
