It’s complicated

We recently bought a house in October 2022 and then our dream home came on the market at the price we can afford. We don’t really have any equity in this house yet, and used our money on the down payment for this house.

How can we buy our dream house before the seller takes the offer off the table? (They offered it to us before putting it on the market because we used to rent it and they knew we lived the house).

We bought our current house under my husbands name o my because I have. BK from one year ago, so I can’t qualify for an FHA loan until Jan. 2024.

The only thing I can think of is proposing renting to own for 1 year. Then we rent out our current home while we buy some time renting our dream home, until I can qualify and we can put the second home in my name.

What am I missing?

How bad would it be to try and sell the home we just bought, I know we would probably lose money… Help! I think the rent to own is the only workable scenario…?!

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...
