Tenant demands to be present for home inspection?

We currently own a duplex in a historic district and have lived in it for ten years. We’ve grown as a family and are wanting to convert it to a single family home. It’s 110 years old, but was gutted and reconstructed in the early 90s. The exterior walls and foundation are original however and as such there are a few issues with water in the basement when it rains and some cracks in the sheet rock from settling. We’re getting an inspector out to give the property a good once over to make sure we don’t have any MAJOR issues with the foundation and whatnot before we start the process of lining up contractors. We currently have tenants in the other side of the house whose lease is up April 1st. We gave them the heads up that an inspector would be scheduled sometime next week, and they’re demanding to be told when it will be so they can be home for it. It struck my husband and I as odd. The tenant has always been high maintenance, and even at times just TELLING us they’re going to do something instead of asking us. Does this seem odd to anyone?

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...
