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...

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...
