Closed on a house, seller left ALOT of stuff behind. Whats the best option?

I recently bought a house and in the sale, i had a post-occupancy addendum. The seller stayed for 46 days after closing (for $3000) and was a really big hassle afterwords. Never actually gave us keys at closing since she pre-signed, and demanded money from me for a propane refill way before she even moved out, among many, many other issues in those 45 days that have since been delt with. Today, she finally notified me that she had left, for good, and left the keys at the property, finally. After work, i went to the house to see how it was left, and there is alot, and i mean ALOT of stuff left, an entire household worth of items like, her bed, a chair, dishes (still in the dishwasher) coffee still in the coffee pot, salads in the fridge, litter box with cat dookie still in it and sooo much other stuff. I took pictures to document everything left im every location of the house, 86 pictures to be specific, but im not sure what to do with everything. She stated she took everything she wanted, so should i sell stuff? Throw it all away? Give it away? Some stuff is still im good shape so i wouldnt want to just junk it all, but i have enough stuff already. Any advise/tips would be welcome amd appreciated.

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...
