How do I evict a friend?

I know I need to write an eviction notice, blah blah but I have know idea what to say. His rent is month to month so I’m not worried about the legal ramifications, I just don’t know what to tell him.

I have known this person for many years then last year just after moving into our still unfinished house. He asked to be our land mate living in his tiny home. We really needed the help financially. So far it has not really been much of a help because in many ways he is burden as much as he helps. On top of this, our relationship in general has become strained as our energy’s do not mesh well.

Anyhoo. My sister is now in need of a space to live and will help alleviate the financial hardships while also being willing to help with other family matters.

So it’s time to say goodbye. I have been looking at templates on the internet in regards to what to say and none seem to fit the criteria for asking him to leave nor the time we would like to allow him to find a new space. (We were going to give him 4 to 6 months.) Oh and he doesn’t pay his rent constantly. He needs to be asked to or he pays on a random day not agreed upon. This is exacerbates my aggravation because his rent is way under market value in our area. So for a grown man to not be able to fork over 300 bucks in a timely manner isn’t worth my time, to harass him.

Until this time I didn’t feel like a landlord per say. I refer to him as my land mate not tenant. Now trying to word the eviction really making me feel like a complete dick.

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...

Pool fill without engineer oversight

We are in the process of purchasing our first ever home in CA and we just discovered in the disclosures that the new build property we are purchasing previously had a swimming pool which was filled without an engineer onsite to approve the work (details from disclosure below). Is this something we should be concerned with or not? Is it something we should have additional inspections conducted on? We are originally from the UK and not really sure what to do with this information and if it is concerning or not. A POOL DID EXIST PREVIOUSLY. COPING, TILE, GUNNITE AND REBAR WERE ALL REMOVED AND DIRT AND CLEAN DRAIN ROCK WERE USED TO FILL IT IN. COMPACTED FILL WAS NOT USED AND NO ENGINEER APPROVED THE DIRT AND DRAIN ROCK FILL IN submitted by /u/tommot82 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/dpyzw8/pool_fill_without_engineer_oversight/

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/
