Use my Realtor or Sell to Opendoor /Investor

This is my first time posting so bear with me please.

Background:

I need to sell my home. My home was built in September 2021. My subdivision is still building out. Due to higher interest rates and the buyer pool drying up the builder is already building/selling new homes $50,000 cheaper thus undercutting current homeowner’s equity and potential profit. Consequently , I am expecting to sell at a loss.To be clear, I have already made peace with losing money. I just need enough to start over somewhere else and I don’t want to be stuck where I am when the market crashes because when I tried selling my old home during the 2008 crash I ended up being stuck for 10 years because I was underwater and the buyer pool practically dried up. That situation taught me that peace of mind and flexibility are more valuable than money. So, would it make sense to use a realtor to sell my home or would other alternatives like Opendoor or Easyknock possibly work? I also feel that my chances of getting a 3-6 month lease back would be better with an ibuyer or investor. Flexibility, a leaseback and just making enough to live a simpler life and start again is what matters most to me.

Additional info:

I’m in Texas Paid : $325,000 Owe: $277,000 2022 county appraisal: $312,000

I do not expect to pay capital gains tax if I sell at a loss I’m hoping to use whatever money I get out to buy a small piece of land, used mobile home or a fixer upper that I can work on over several months before I move in.

Thank you

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear

Fast Rising HOA Fees on NYC Condo, No Budget Provided

My wife and I are first time homeowners and could use some advice on a situation we've been having with our management company and Board. We bought a condo in Brooklyn two years ago, and since then our HOA fees have climbed dramatically. In August of last year, our fees were increased by ~30% and just yesterday we received notice that this new figure would be increased by 16% as of June 1st. The by-laws for our building state that ten days before such a change goes into effect, the Board must provide unit owners with the itemized budget upon which the new numbers were based. This didn't happen last year, and when I asked the management company about it, they just kept vaguely insisting the Board had done due diligence. After I kept pressing, they finally sent a budget that was several years old, so obviously not the one that the new numbers were based on. When I asked the management company for contact information for the Board to get further clarification, I was told that th

How to create fidelity investments current bank statement for lender during escrow

I transferred a certain amount to my bank account to complete the minimum down payment required. The bank wants a current statement of the transaction. Unfortunately, fidelity only does quarterly statements so a December statement is not available and we are due to close next week. I called fidelity and they they can only provide a letter but the bank said that won’t suffice. Any way I can find or make one of my own that has my account number/name along with all the recent month’s activities? submitted by /u/bodaciousbeans [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/zmnnqo/how_to_create_fidelity_investments_current_bank/
