Addendum for New Build

This is our first time buying a house and we are in escrow for a new build that is 95% done. It just need the AC unit put in plus some finishing touches. The inspection is tomorrow and the seller (also the builder) wants to add this to our agreement:

"seller agrees to address and remedy all items from the inspection reports that are not up to state industry building standards. Work to be completed prior to closing. If there are still items that need to be completed after closing, seller to leave $5,000 in escrow until completed. Upon buyer receipt of inspection reports, buyer to remove the inspection contingency and agree to release $10,000 of earnest money to seller and deemed non-refundable."

Any glaring issues with signing this? I'm assuming the seller just wants to make sure we won't back out over something small/fixable? The builder is a local builder that's been in the business for 30+ years.

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...
