Knocked back for a real estate traineeship, not feeling great about myself.

Hi there.. I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask, so if there is another forum could you please recommend it for me.

I have been out of work for a little over a year now as I was discriminated against being pregnant and had my son who is now 10 months old. I wasn’t actually looking for a job, browsing really. I came across a full real estate traineeship job opening in my area that states it’s for all ages and I thought I would apply as it is full time, training provided and being a full time position would give me opportunities like buying a house in future etc I have a decent resume, I sent it but I didn’t have access to my cover letter so I couldn’t send that. I know they read my resume as it notifies you and heard nothing back from them. Two weeks later I noticed they put another advertisement out on Facebook so I thought I would update my application and send the cover letter. I then applied for two other real estate traineeships. I also enrolled into studying real estate just incase I don’t get hired. Today I received another notification that my application won’t progress to the next stage.

The thing is I dropped out of high school in 2012 when I was in year 12 (I wagged every day) and then I became a cleaner in 2014. But I was a hard worker. I held down a job for 6 years, I was promoted to supervisor, I won employee of the year one year and sometimes I would only get 4hrs of sleep between my night shift and day shift.

I am only 26 years old, my presentation is good. I’m fashionable, placid and polite.

I am just feeling like I wasn’t even Considered for a job interview because I was a cleaner with no education. I thought it being a traineeship surely they would at least give me an interview as I put in effort to write a good resume and cover letter.

So what can I do to improve my chances of landing a traineeship in real estate? What are they looking for?

Am I better of studying real estate? Which in fact getting certified takes a lot less time than a traineeship.

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...

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...

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/
