How to go about leveraging my dad's house to help me at least go about acquiring my own house?

I know a lot of people don't have this opportunity unfortunately so I would like to take advantage of this to be able to acquire my own house because if I didn't have this house to come to I would literally be homeless right now................ but I don't know how to go about doing it >.<

Okay so I'm on SSI which is only $783 a month & I live in Palestine, TX. The market here is very bad it's a sellers market at this point. There's not a lot of rentals & the rentals that are listed in the area are like $800+ in its way too much for an SSI income. Luckily my dad acquired this house back in the day before everything in real estate went to shit & he fully owns it.

I'm able to live here rent free & could technically stay here forever but to be honest with you I wanna get out of here ASAP. I honestly can't stand my dad & it just feels awkward to be living in this house with him but I'm only dealing with him because I would otherwise be homeless & I would love to be able to leverage in acquire my own house to know that in the future that I know I won't ever be homeless.

Im 24 years old, unfortunately I don't have any credit history :( but I been living in section 8 apartments basically my whole life so I guess I can try & get copies & show the (mortgage lenders?) my on time payment history for the rent.

I just don't know how to go about doing any of this I'm just so overwhelmed right now >.<

I would be living here in all I would want to do, is go in as aggressive as I possibly can in acquire however much money is needed as quickly as humanly possible to be able to I guess get enough for a down payment? I wanna get out of here as soon as i possibly can............... So Idk if this right move or not >.<

I just don't know how much money I would need or what (for a down payment if this a right move????)

I could honestly come up with the money within a short period of time too but I know SSI only allows you to earn like 1,000 more per month so that's also a factor too................ But with under the table work I could earn more without SSI being aware of the work. I could also get my dad to try in help acquiring money too.

All I want is a house of my own to know that I'm safe & won't ever be homeless. Long story short, my dad is at an old age & when he passes on I just know the title of the house more than likely won't go to me even though technically it's kind of my house too............

Long story short, I just wanna be able to get my own house so I know I can feel safe & know that I won't be homeless in the future. But what is the best way to leveraging my dad's house living there rent free to be able to acquire a house of my own in a short time because I can't stand living inside this house with him in just want a place of my own. All while being on an SSI income which can only earn of upwards of 1,000 more per month............

I can't stand living with other people or roommates in general. I need to live alone.

Gosh this all so overwhelming! >.< To be honest though I'm not the type to like to fix up houses so the house I also gotta get would have to be in good condition & stuff too..................... And since I'm on SSI, the mortgage payments would have to be low too to be able to afford the payments. And Idk if I would still be living in this same town in the future either???? But I also want a sense of future security too???? So I get some kind of mortgage or something in if I start making payments to the mortgage but if I haven't fully payed it off in I happen to leave this town in the future all this mortgage on a house would be going to waste I think???? I'm not sure???

So yeah reddit real estate experts what is the best way to go about doing all of this???? >.<

I'm just so fucking overwhelmed! >.<

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...

Making offers on houses not listed for sale.

I want to buy a home for retirement. I am looking at lots of options, mostly focusing on the locations that appeal to me. I see lots of Zillow estimates of homes that look like great deals to me. Are these estimates accurate, even though similar houses in the same area that are for sale are usually priced much higher? If so, is it realistic for me to try to make offers to owners that do not have their homes listed? Would a realtor even consider helping me do this? Or, do these values indicate that the houses listed for sale are overpriced, and I should just lowball until someone accepts? Are houses today tending to sell far below list prices, or ??? submitted by /u/chewybrian [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1o4mcon/making_offers_on_houses_not_listed_for_sale/

Co-signing as non-primary resident - effect on size of required downpayment & first time home buyer status?

Contemplating co-signing on a house with my mom and splitting the mortgage payment. I currently have a significantly higher income and much better credit than her. I'm looking at potential home costs and related downpayments but have difficulty using some of the online estimators. From my perspective, this would be somewhat of an investment purchase (I intend to stay in my current location in a different state and contribute to the mortgage), however, for my mom, this would be a primary residence. For purposes of the downpayment size and the type of mortgage arrangement, would it be an investment property or a primary residence? Many thanks for any help. submitted by /u/piercalicious [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/km4hvl/cosigning_as_nonprimary_resident_effect_on_size/
