Forced into buying a home at 19, no idea what to do, need lots of advice.

As the title says, I'm 19 being forced into buying a $200,000 home.

TL:DR I need a lot of instruction on what steps to take as a first home buyer since I truly know NOTHING about how to do this.

I'm living in a rent to own house with my mom. We're under a 4 year lease and we have about 5 more months before we are expected to buy. I knew when we moved in I would be co-signing on the property in 3 years time. Everything took a really bad turn several months ago when my mom and landlord rewrote the lease double the price. I wasn't informed of this extreme change until 3 months after this occurred. My mom has since left her job and I have been practically the sole provider since. In the past 3 years I have put a lot of effort into fixing up this house and I simply cannot leave as it meets a lot of necessities. My mom wants to be as helpful as she can but I can tell she is extremely lost and is too distracted to really figure this out with me. I just need some help from hopefully more educated and reliable resources (while fact checking). Thank you

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...

Making offers on houses not listed for sale.

I want to buy a home for retirement. I am looking at lots of options, mostly focusing on the locations that appeal to me. I see lots of Zillow estimates of homes that look like great deals to me. Are these estimates accurate, even though similar houses in the same area that are for sale are usually priced much higher? If so, is it realistic for me to try to make offers to owners that do not have their homes listed? Would a realtor even consider helping me do this? Or, do these values indicate that the houses listed for sale are overpriced, and I should just lowball until someone accepts? Are houses today tending to sell far below list prices, or ??? submitted by /u/chewybrian [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1o4mcon/making_offers_on_houses_not_listed_for_sale/
