Rough estimate on equity in condo/house/mobile home vs apartment rent

Can someone give me some insight on this. For example if someone is very aggressive and treats their condo or house like a slumlord. How much equity could you be gaining vs renting. Let's say on $1000 apartment rent. Let's say that $1000 apartment rent is equivalent to a $120,000 condo submitted by /u/Chasingfreedom1224 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1d4qeb4/rough_estimate_on_equity_in_condohousemobile_home/

Bank statements

What do lenders look for other than income deposits and balance to cover down payment? If they look at spending habits, what explanation would seem acceptable to them? We both had long Covid and spent more than usual for medical supplies and over the counter meds online this year. Other than that, they already told us income and down payment sources were acceptable. submitted by /u/Cree_Woman [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1d4qapq/bank_statements/

[OH] Buying a house in cash

Hey everyone, I've got a question about using gambling winnings for a home purchase. In total I won $150k from sports betting and sold some crypto I won from Stake through Coinbase. (I got very lucky, I know). Altogether, I have about $300k to spend and I'm looking at buying a house in a low-cost-of-living area. My concern is that these funds aren't seasoned. Can I still use this money to buy a house with cash? Has anyone been through a similar situation or have any advice on how to navigate this? Any tips or experiences would be super helpful. Thanks! submitted by /u/stockeyfloo [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1d4p97q/oh_buying_a_house_in_cash/

Question for realtors:

Hi friends. I've had my eye on a home for over a year now. It is my dream house. The sales history on it is very strange (per redfin); 09/26/21 listing removed 11/18/21 listing removed 03/29/21 listing removed 09/21/22 listing removed 11/27/22 listing removed 11/27/22 listing removed (yes on the same day as the last one) 11/28/22 listed (active) 11/29/22 listing removed 11/28/22 listed active $699,000. Listing description is for 94 acres, no mention of the home so I'm not sure if it was included in this price 06/10/22 price change to 599,000. It doesn't list this on redfin history but the listing description and photos were also changed on this day. The acreage dropped to 2.8 and the description changed to talk about the house. 11/10/23 contingent 12/01/23 sold 12/04/23 pending 02/05/24 listed active new $575,000 05/13/24 $559,900 So here's my question. I want to email the realtor listed and ask why it isn't selling. There is a second home on the pr...

Able to buy a house but feeling hesitant because of this weird market, anyone else?

Potential first time home buyer here - I'm 34 years old and take home 130k. I have a credit score of around 730 and net worth of ~700k in stocks/crypto and no debt outside of 2k I owe on a vehicle. On paper it makes sense to be ready to buy a home at this level but something just feels off to me - for example a 550k house that I'm looking at with a 100k downpayment comes out to around 4k a month with these current interest rates (7-7.5%), which seems insane. Especially since that same mortgage would be around half that if I had been house shopping two years earlier - it seems like a total rip off by comparison. I enjoy the freedom of renting and haven't really found a good place to call "home" yet - I'm recently single, have no kids (although want some day), but I just haven't found that "I want to settle down here" yet. The house I would be buying is a family vacation spot that is about 3 hours away from where I'm currently renting. It...

need a solid advice on where to get my new office

Basically I own a office and I do real estate dealings and the place I've been is in a little inner side and want to change because it's been too long and the neighbours don't give off the best vibe now I do have a plot outside which is 4 floors with a basement where I can shift but the thing is my work requirements are only one floor so should I sell that plot and buy a new one outside on the main road for ground floor only? the reason to shift is something it might be hard for y'all to understand but this place has been known way too much and people come for boring no business talk and the neighbours ofcourse keep an eye 24/7 on the work and who visits so need a change. please give an advice on this thank you. submitted by /u/BigBelly1112 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1d3y9be/need_a_solid_advice_on_where_to_get_my_new_office/

Inheriting a house that needs work

My family lives down the street from my great aunt, who doesn't have children. She has decided she wants to leave everything to us, because we've been helping her for the past few years. So this situation may change, but as of right now I'm trying to plan for what to do. She has a split level, and the basement was renovated into a separate apartment years ago. So the two spaces can be rented individually. However, she is quite elderly, and had an elderly dog who kept having accidents on the floor. The dog has passed, so it isn't making it worse anymore, but the house reeks. The smell clings to anything that's in the house. There would be some money as part of the inheritance that could be used to fix the house up. At a minimum all the floors and subfloors need to be replaced, and possibly kitchen cabinets and dry wall. But with it being on our same street (meaning we could do the maintenance ourselves), having the possibility of being rented to two different te...

How To Choose The Best Real Estate Agent For You When Buying Or Renting A House In Nigeria?

When someone accomplishes in life, it unlocks an achievement. Courage, great effort, and skills contribute to achieving a dream.

The market is tough with not as many leads and the few leads that do come aren’t able to qualify or cant afford the monthly payments. We are ready to list the homes. What route should I take? 1) list homes with a seasoned realtor/brokerage. We have spoken to 3 brokers so far. -all 3 brokers regularly works with few builders for many years and currently each brokers has 25-30 listings of their builders in the same area and at similar price points. - it will be our first time working with any of these brokerages. -pay 3% commission. - they do instagram marketing. - they shot content and make website for the community. - market the houses with fellow agents/brokers - host some open houses. * I am concerned they might divert some leads to their other listings.

Find Clients For Real Estate Website helping Foreigners to invest in Spain/Madrid

Hi everyone, I hope you're doing very well. For the past year and half, I have been developing a website that would help foreign investors to invest in Spain. More than that, I have developed an algorithm to allow to present properties that are below market price while being refurbished - basically a turnkey solution with solid rental and appreciations yields. I spent a lot of time really developing something that would bring value to investors, and I know that this would make the investors happy (I personally bought 3 apartments) but I struggle to find foreign investors while I know there is a market. Hence my question is: how would you do it ? What would be your ways to find these foreign investors ? Which social media/canals of communication would you use ? Maybe there is an angle I miss...

Central Air not working day hours after closing

So I kid you not, I closed on the selling of my house at 4:00 pm. That morning was the first time this year I turned on the air it was 77 degrees in the house. It's a colonial, that usually takes quite a while to finally cool down. I heard the furnace / blower turn on, and the outside unit. The day goes on, I close on the house, come home,house is still warm, but think nothing of it. Later that evening I'm packing some boxes, and I'm like...man it's warm in here. Check the thermostat 79 degrees. Obviously something isn't working. So, the kicker to this story is....the buyers opted for NO INSPECTION. The air worked last year, the last time it was used. Besides the no inspection in the offer, the buyers offered 45 days free rent, which I needed, and they are not ready to move in anyways...win/win also why I liked their offer. So now what...of course we're having a hot spell, and I don't want to tell them, because I don't want to pay for it. It's not m...

Unique situation: How to structure offer on house with newer solar PPA?

Looking to put an offer on a house listed at 600k. The house has a Solar PPA which started in 2021 and runs 25 years. Seller has the option of transferring to agreement to us, or prepaying the remaining 21 years (likely 30k or so). The PPA allows the home owner to buy the solar panels at year 5, but you get zero federal/state incentives and the "offer" is always insulting. We've asked the seller we would like them to pay off the PPA early so we don't have to deal with it, plus it prevents us from ever putting up solar ourselves to get the federal/state rebates, plus just deal with the panels on the house overall. Assuming the solar PPA prepay is 30k, what is fair in terms of the offer adjustment? Ask the seller to eat the entire cost? Offer to cover half and add 15k to the offer? Offer to cover a smaller portion since it's not really our burden we signed up for? Adjust the offer by 30k and just prepay ourselves once transferred? Would love some...

Hi I understand that real estate companies range between developers to investment management companies.

Thanks in advance. submitted by /u/Briskeycrooks64 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1cu0tas/questions_for_agentsbrokers/

Should I give up my house?

If anyone could give me some advice regarding whether to pursue my mortgage for a house and lot in Ph, currently no one is living in the house. Lived there less than a year and probably we wouldn’t be able to live there for good because Im currently living with my foreign husband in other country… I was thinking if its better to buy a condo unit? Or just put my house for rent or Airbnb? So at least it will generate money atleast half of the monthly payment. submitted by /u/Traditional-Mine-196 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1ctyp16/should_i_give_up_my_house/

Zillow aaarrhg!

Help! As in an actual help menu, Zillow, so I didn't have to google everything I'm trying to figure out! As in: -Can I upload photos to my home if it's not listed? The photos are some blurry yellow ones from somewhere. Zillow says that one of the ways they calculate the zestimate is to use the photos, and mine are awful. -Why can't I figure out a way to edit the description if it's not listed? I did it only two months ago (March '24). -My satellite photo is incorrect, but not on any of the map apps. I can't figure out a way to edit it. I've asked Zillow three times to fix it. submitted by /u/FunMousse8127 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1csg3vx/zillow_aaarrhg/
