TOTB -Consider tax sales to get a foot in the door.

Skimming Govdeals for the 1st time in forever & saw they have over 1900 listings for tax sale properties in CO, PA, OH, MD & others; the majority of these are undeveloped land. I've bought several through Govdeals, it's as easy as going through a county sale.

Now, I know undeveloped land doesn't make you think 'Yeah, that's a roof over my family's head'; but I've sold 4 undeveloped Tax Sale lots in SC over the years & realized nice profits that went toward paying off my Primary Residence.

They're not always a steal & like any real estate purchase you must do your research on the county websites plus the retail side of it to confirm demand.

I see posts here almost every day from folks who don't know how they're going to break in to real estate & they really feel it's their only chance to create generational wealth; this can be a way to start & build up.

As the old chestnut goes, 'They're not making more land!'. They are, of course, but not on a large enough scale to make things easier for anyone who's not already rich. Or Dutch.

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...

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...
