(MA) I made my first offer on a house!

Found myself a house that's a little bit of a project, but it has a lot of potential. It was lstied for 265 but I offered 272 the 2nd day it was on the market. There's an open house for it today but I already saw it with my realtor.

She said it will probably get bid into the low 3's but I added to my offer saying I could close within 30 days and that I would forgo the home inspection. My dad is a home inspector and my friend works construction, both of them looked at the house with me and confirmed it needs work but there's nothing major so that's the only reason I feel comfortable forgoing the inspection.

Anyway, i'm excited and nervous, I don't expect the offer to be accepted but if it is then i'm going to be a homeowner and I couldn't be more excited!

The market is crazy right now and I just feel happy seeing that a house that I actually like has fallen into my price range, and even if I get bid out I don't care it's been a great experience and i'll be ready for the next one!

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...

How to get started?

Hi! I’m 23F and I just graduated college with an english degree (😅) but i’ve been working in nonprofits since I was 16 and lucked into an amazing first job with an one of the biggest and best real estate non-profits! I love my job so far, but it’s my first time being surrounded by such wealth (and very hard working, deserving individuals.) To be quite honest, I‘ve had a rough few years juggling multiple jobs to finish school, and the idea of myself not living paycheck to paycheck seems light years away. This is all being said, I guess I’m posing the question towards the group of what I can do now to start building that kind of future for myself. I find real estate very interesting, and i’ve loved learning about all the machinations behind development- I’m just not sure where to begin within the industry (investment/rentals are definitely not an option for me yet). I’m also looking to go back to school, but being that I don’t know where to start, I wouldn’t like to begin classes aga...
