Buy a house with FHA loan everything going smoothly untill appraisal.

So me and my wife was finally able to get a bid in and go under contract, just slight cosmetic repairs needed after inspection, but are an easy fix.

The house we got was at 205k asking we put our bid in for 210k escalation clause to 225k. Technically we didn't get that contract but got called 4hours later because the winning bid backed out putting us under contract for 217k which was great had the inspection done easy enough.

Then we had the appraisal which seemed like it went pretty fast because we paid the other day had the appraisal the next day, and he set the appraisal at the sellers asking price, which might make or break this deal, and going over the appraisal, he has the house down as a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom house. When it's a 4 bedroom 3 bathroom house.

Not sure on how appraisals work but 2 bedrooms are down stairs with escape windows all bathrooms are full baths one of them in the basement. And only compared it to 3 other houses in the area one up to 1 mile away for 215k the other 198k. And one for 205k

We had our agent try to get him to reconsider the appraisal, but what we herd from our agent is the appraiser is not budging. because we think he did his job way too quickly.

TLDR: I have a FHA loan. appraisal came in low, might not get house appraiser won't reconsider.

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...
