Should Friends buy a House Together?

So me and a couple of my friends, 5 to be exact (there could be more but we're still figuring it out), are thinking about buying a home. We've established most basic things but I'm still worried on how this whole entire thing will go down in the future. I know that eventually most of us will move on and decide to eventually move out but then what happens to the house? Will one of us end up keeping it, will we rent it out to other people, sell it again? I'm just worried it may cause some sort of issue. If someone where to keep the house they'd have to pay back all the other people. Or if we end up selling it, we'd have to divide the money we got from selling the house between all of us. It's a lot. Now I'm just wondering is buying a home is a smart move or not. Should we just rent a home/apartment? Sorry if this doesn't make any sense, we're all pretty new to real estate and what not. We appreciate any feedback!

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

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/
