can i ask to get something written in a lease?

hey! sorry for any formatting, I’m on mobile but i have a question about renting. the city that i live in has a roach and bed bug problem. I live in Canada, i didn’t even know we had roaches until i saw one in my apartment. the second building i lived in i asked, “have you ever had roaches?”, they said no and turns out they had been fighting a roach problem months before i moved in. I am moving again and called a place and asked if they ever had roaches or bed bugs, they said no, i brought my sister with me to view it and turns out that’s where she lived for ~ less than one day before they found bed bugs in the unit. anyways, my question is can i ask my landlord to write in a lease “no we have never had any roaches or bed bugs in this building?” i’m so tired of getting scammed by companies and i’m so tired of dealing with pests. Backing off of that question, is that a good idea? could it potentially screw me if they actually did have bugs. could they blame it on me? sorry if this isn’t the right place to post, if there are better subreddits let me know! thank you!

tl;dr - can i ask my landlord to add “we’ve never had or treated for any type of pest”, and if i can, is it a bad idea?

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...
