Investing in real estate - questions for a new acquisition

I have some questions about an investment, which I want to make. I can buy a studio with 60k (including the acquisition price+furniture +all the others costs). I can do that using 5k from my pocket and the rest I can borrow; to borrow I have more options: 1. 0 downpaiment (and I bring as guarantee an other property I have) and for the rest I can take a mortgage and here I have also 2 options: a. interest fixed for 3 years - 7.9 and after that it’s variable (an variable parameter “x”+3.4) for 27 years b. variabile - “x”+2.4 for 30 years; “x” changes every quarter and now it is 5.9 2. 25% downpaiment and for the rest a mortgage with the same options I mentioned above: a. interest fixed for 3 years - 7.9 and after that it’s variable (an variable parameter “x”+3.4) for 27 years b. variabile - “x”+2.4 for 30 years; “x” changes every quarter and now it is 5.9

Now I have the 5k, but if I have to put 25% down, then I have to wait to save the money. If I put 0 downpaiment, I will have negative cash flow, and the rent will not cover the mortgage (but I have other properties so, I can pay the difference easily fom there).

The rent per month would be around 300 euro. I know that the property does not respect 1% rule but that is the market in which I am. What do you advice? Thanks

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...

Question With Tricon "Pending ID".....

My wife and i, along with 2 other peopl applied to rent a house, and our application says "Approved, Pending ID". Anyone else know what that means? Do we pretty much have the place or are we missing something? submitted by /u/Itskrueger [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1orixqj/question_with_tricon_pending_id/

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/
