Realtors. Brokers. Lenders. Anyone. What do I do??

My husband and I spoke with a realtor and a mortgage broker about selling our current townhome and buying a house. We have 3 kids (8 years and under). Hard pull was done on our credit and we were "Approved Eligible" in which we were told by the mortgage broker we have to sell our home for no less than X money and buy for no more than X money. Well my house receives an offer fairly quickly (4 days after going on the market) and we docusign papers on a Wednesday night at 8. Friday morning at 11 the mortgage broker tells me that we are only approved for X amount which is $50,000 under what we were told and we're expecting. Which gets us NOTHING. So he tells us our choices are buying for that amount or rent something out until credit is fixed. My credit is over a 700. I make more money than my husband. My husband's credit is 526. The broker tells me all these hypotheticals, if you pay this debt off, if you pay this collections off, etc. it'll bring his credit score up. So we did everything he told us to do and he still tells us his credit is only at a 575 and he needs it at a 580. So now at this point I have no where to go. I don't have deposits (first and last month) for a rental, I don't even want to rent anyways because we want a house for our large family. Did I get screwed? What do I do? Talk with another broker? Call lenders myself? What are the chances my current mortgage bank offers me the amount I want? Our mortgage is paid on time monthly. I'm not behind any payments. HELP PLEASE!!!

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...
