Is it preferable to live in a house with more or fewer units?

My language is a bit clumsy here, because these are terms I usually only discuss in German. My partner and I are looking to buy an apartment to move into. We both prefer the look and feel of apartments in houses with fewer units rather than more, but she is worried that if we owned one of, say, 3 units, the owners of the other two would form a coalition and outvote us if we want to do anything that requires their consent or cooperation. She has been told by her parents that it's much better to have one unit of many. I've been told by my parents, though, that it's much better to have a unit of few, because you have a more tight-knit community and you don't need to convince as many people, if you want anything done. We both feel strongly about this, and I want to know now, if anyone has any relevant perspectives to share. What do you think? (Also, is this issue overly specific to Germany? I honestly don't know how these things are done other places.)

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...

Making offers on houses not listed for sale.

I want to buy a home for retirement. I am looking at lots of options, mostly focusing on the locations that appeal to me. I see lots of Zillow estimates of homes that look like great deals to me. Are these estimates accurate, even though similar houses in the same area that are for sale are usually priced much higher? If so, is it realistic for me to try to make offers to owners that do not have their homes listed? Would a realtor even consider helping me do this? Or, do these values indicate that the houses listed for sale are overpriced, and I should just lowball until someone accepts? Are houses today tending to sell far below list prices, or ??? submitted by /u/chewybrian [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1o4mcon/making_offers_on_houses_not_listed_for_sale/
