Is it worth it to buy a house and destroy and rebuild?

Hey guys, I am just here to learn more about the potential future that I am looking towards but of course things may change and I may end up never visiting this idea ever again. However, I am still fairly young and I am hoping that in the near future to purchase my first home (or build one from the ground up through buying an existing one).

​

Currently, I am renting a home that is on 8,500 sq. ft. of land. The land currently consists of two mobile/manufactured home, with one being unoccupied. I was recently in a small conversation with the landlord about his thoughts of me purchasing the home (which would then give me ownership of obviously the entire land with both houses instead of the one I am specifically renting right now) because I am young and soon to complete college. He suggested of selling the home for approximately $220,0000 to $235,000 since my family and I have been great tenants for several years now. He mentioned that because if we were to move out, a company or real estate investor will purchase this entire place from him but has not done so since well, we are living here and he doesn't want us to be kicked out, thankfully lmao.

​

I am looking to be educated on the matters of purchasing the home (it's in okay condition) and was curious as to would it make sense to purchase it, destroy the mobile homes, and rebuild a brand new one to live in? What would I need to keep in mind in terms of cost (being cost efficient), regulations that I may not already know through research of my own, and other important things I may be overlooking or people usually overlook when wanting to buy an existing home but destroying it and building a brand new one.

​

Thanks!

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

Fast Rising HOA Fees on NYC Condo, No Budget Provided

My wife and I are first time homeowners and could use some advice on a situation we've been having with our management company and Board. We bought a condo in Brooklyn two years ago, and since then our HOA fees have climbed dramatically. In August of last year, our fees were increased by ~30% and just yesterday we received notice that this new figure would be increased by 16% as of June 1st. The by-laws for our building state that ten days before such a change goes into effect, the Board must provide unit owners with the itemized budget upon which the new numbers were based. This didn't happen last year, and when I asked the management company about it, they just kept vaguely insisting the Board had done due diligence. After I kept pressing, they finally sent a budget that was several years old, so obviously not the one that the new numbers were based on. When I asked the management company for contact information for the Board to get further clarification, I was told that th

How to create fidelity investments current bank statement for lender during escrow

I transferred a certain amount to my bank account to complete the minimum down payment required. The bank wants a current statement of the transaction. Unfortunately, fidelity only does quarterly statements so a December statement is not available and we are due to close next week. I called fidelity and they they can only provide a letter but the bank said that won’t suffice. Any way I can find or make one of my own that has my account number/name along with all the recent month’s activities? submitted by /u/bodaciousbeans [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/zmnnqo/how_to_create_fidelity_investments_current_bank/
