Found the best house... and lost it.

Perfect build, everything that I wanted. Land.. white house with black gutters, new build... close to everything. Had public water, septic with all gravity flow, all electric.. Man... this is a TOUGH market.

So the house was listed at 310k for 1500 sq ft, 3 bed 2 bath. The builder was the selling agent, which I found interesting, but my agent didn’t think it was worth that much so we went in at 290k, 70 down, I pay closing. He was supposed to get back with me bc she made it seem like I was willing to go that 310k, but make it seem like she was pushing the 290k.... that back fired. My agent is super awesome and friendly so I know she handled it fine.

I think I’m just posting this to let it out bc I was hoping for this one. I know it’s stupid and I shouldn’t get too wrapped up in one house... but damn what am I supposed to do? Settle for a shit house? Everyone is hopping on these so fast and always seem to have such a high offer.

I don’t have too much time to find a house either... maybe a couple more months or so and I will need to rent. Pretty discouraged and just hoping for encouragement or tips or something.

I’m looking at a house tomorrow that’s about 10 more min from everything, built in 2000 but priced a little cheaper. It’ll take about 20 min to get to Kroger... kinda sucks. I might be settling idk. THIS IS A STRUGGLE. I feel like I just lost the house of my dreams... I know that sounds crazy but it really was everything I wanted.

Thanks for reading if you got this far

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...

Obtaining a real estate license as a hobby?

Hello, I am 24 years old - 2 years out of college and I have my main job. I was looking to get a real estate license (in California if location matters) as a hobby/for fun since I like real estate ever since I was in high school. In the past 2 years, I would go to open house in the weekends to look at homes for fun. I don’t plan to practice real estate full time as I have my main job but I am curious are there any benefits to this? In the future, I plan to own multiple properties and have rentals, so I was wondering if getting a real estate license can help me with it?

Advice? Moved out of my primary residence and now renting

I moved out of the house I own in August 2021, I lived there for 8 years, I have been renting an apartment the past 3 years and renting out my house. My current tenant is moving out in September. I seem to have just missed the living 2 years out of 5 years rule for being exempt from capital gains tax and my house being a primary home. Any advice on what the best thing to do would be moving forward? Continue to rent out my house? I'm happy with my rental, but wouldn't mind buying another property down the road. I could sell my house down the road and try to do a 1031 exchange? Moving back in my house isn't ideal because it's an hour away from where I currently live. I could take a HELOC perhaps and try to buy another property and continue renting for the long term? I do have a 2.4% mortgage rate on the house so I don't mind keeping it for a while. Thanks for everyone's advice. submitted by /u/Ok-Top-7859 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.co...
