First time buyers and neighbors want to buy 1700 square feet of our land in Texas.

My husband and I just recently bought our first home in north Texas. We fought very hard for this home and it has quite a roomy lot. Our property line runs right up against our neighbors newer built home. We have lived here 2 months and our neighbors have approached us three times about buying roughly 1700 square feet of our land so they can build a shed. They said the previous owners agreed to sell the land but they moved before it was finished. Today, the third time we were approached, we were told they offered the last homeowners $1000 for the land, a fence, and cost of the survey. Something feels uneasy about the he whole situation. We just bought this land and we keep being approached about what the last home owners agreed to. We haven’t even had time to envision what we would like to do with the property in the future. How do we softly tell them we decline?

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...
