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 my house anymore. Plus I feel I could of gotten a better price for the house, ( Zillow was showing $3,000. Higher even before we closed)but it was a solid offer, and the realtor said I shouldn't pass up.

Any suggestions.... Thanks

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...
