What's the point?

I'm learning about real estate investing, but I have a constant question in my mind. What's the point of buying a house that if everything goes right you'll reach the breakeven point in let's say 4 years (considering rent fees income)? From what I understood and seems to me more reasonable is that by increasing the monthly rent fee that tenants has to pay, the value of the property increases proportionally, so than if we sell the property we'll earn good money. Talking numbers: I buy a 1 million dollars house. Let's say there are already tenants that pays 1000 euros a month. I increase the rent fee of 30%, now the property worths 30% more of when I bought it so 1.3 millions. If I sell the property I will have earned 300k. Is it right? I find the analogy with buying companies. If I buy a company that is worth a million dollars, because it earns 100k a month and then I manage to increase the earnings to 200k a month, then the company will be worth 2 million dollars and if I sell it I will have earned 1 million dollars. Is it right?

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/
