Old Home Insurance Open Claim From Prior Owner Stopping Buyer From Insuring Home.

Story takes place in North Jersey with the sale of a Multi Family property.

I'm an agent currently helping a seller with the sale of his home and brought a buyer who was interested and put in an offer. We proceeded forward and the buyer is in the process of getting insurance but the quotes he's requesting continues to get denied due to an open fire claim. Insurance broker mentioned the open fire claim is from July of 2018 which is prior to when the current owner (the seller in this transaction) actually purchased it (he purchased it a year later). Seller mentioned he had the same issue back then when getting insurance but let the brokers know that the property has no fire damage and his insurance company appropriately insured the home. He believed the open claim was taken care of and removed when they went ahead to insure the property.

I'm asking in this sub because I too invest in real estate and would like to know how I can go about solving and removing this open claim for the future ( and to help those who have the same question). I requested any documentation from the insurance broker in regards to the open claim but they simply mention that they don't have anything, something just pops up in their screen that lets them know there is an open claim.

Anyone have experience on how to go about closing out this open claim from the prior owner?

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...
