Under contract; promised parcel through Quit Claim

Hello Reddit and thank you in advance 🙏

First time home buyer in South Florida.

Prior to making a deal there’s a small parcel in front of my land/house. I asked my agent to ask listing agent to find out who owns smaller parcel which I have to go through per “right of way” to access my lot.

Was informed by listing agent they didn’t know who owned it and we were unable to locate an address for it either. Due to being overly excited we put an offer and went under contract instead of doing more research.

(We are purchasing a house from an investment company from California. Their listing agent is also their property management company)

After our survey, we were then informed of setback rules which would ruin our plans to build on this property. I did my own research and later discovered that the company we are purchasing the house from ALSO owned that small parcel.

I shared to my agent that I felt misled and lied to as this smaller parcel already gave me doubts in the 1st place. He shared to the listing agent who claimed she had no idea her client ALSO OWNED that parcel. So we asked to find out their plans for the parcel and if they are willing to let it go (for a price or as part of the original purchase of sales agreement)

A week later the listing agent informed my agent that the company has no use of such small parcel (25ft by 50 ft) and decided to give/let go of that parcel via QUIT CLAIM DEED. And that I would have to file it and pay the fees ONCE WE CLOSE ON THE HOUSE this Wednesday.

I asked my agent to create an addendum to bind said parcel/earn a guarantee that this COMPANY WILL give up that parcel. He stated by adding to current contract, it might jeopardize our current deal with the lender/approval process.

I asked for the alternative which would be a letter or statement stating said plans for the small parcel to be given to us once we closed, in which my agent responded with “I have it in writing and text which should be enforceable”

May I have advice on this process? I’m still pushing for a letter but am I also verthinking this? The deed on public records shows the company owning this parcel. Thank again

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...

Obtaining a real estate license as a hobby?

Hello, I am 24 years old - 2 years out of college and I have my main job. I was looking to get a real estate license (in California if location matters) as a hobby/for fun since I like real estate ever since I was in high school. In the past 2 years, I would go to open house in the weekends to look at homes for fun. I don’t plan to practice real estate full time as I have my main job but I am curious are there any benefits to this? In the future, I plan to own multiple properties and have rentals, so I was wondering if getting a real estate license can help me with it?

Advice? Moved out of my primary residence and now renting

I moved out of the house I own in August 2021, I lived there for 8 years, I have been renting an apartment the past 3 years and renting out my house. My current tenant is moving out in September. I seem to have just missed the living 2 years out of 5 years rule for being exempt from capital gains tax and my house being a primary home. Any advice on what the best thing to do would be moving forward? Continue to rent out my house? I'm happy with my rental, but wouldn't mind buying another property down the road. I could sell my house down the road and try to do a 1031 exchange? Moving back in my house isn't ideal because it's an hour away from where I currently live. I could take a HELOC perhaps and try to buy another property and continue renting for the long term? I do have a 2.4% mortgage rate on the house so I don't mind keeping it for a while. Thanks for everyone's advice. submitted by /u/Ok-Top-7859 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.co...
