Holding back my escrow cuz there're pissed at me??

I won't get into the whole deal, but here's the problems. I sold my house. Part of their offer was to let me stay in my house rent free for aprox 3 months, which I needed. Also offered no inspection! Accepted the offer. My nephew was my realtor..(problem number one,,,new, not very professional.) The whole thing is just wierd. The buyers and I had our own closings...I never met them, which was fine. While at my closing the other agent texts my agent, and asks as a favor, if I would give a walk thru of the house before I move out. I wasn't happy about it, but said ok. Well it didn't happen for various reasons, I was pissed at my realtor for various reasons, and I just left the keys on the counter when I moved out. I still cannot figure out what this walk thru was to be about?? I did put sticky notes on shut off valves, switches, whatever....house was spotless.

So as you can figure, their realtor, the buyers and my realtor/nephew were pissed cuz I didn't do the walk thru. Anyways, "whoever" now is holding my escrow and water bill refund because they are pissed at me. I'm barely talking to my nephew, who isn't returning my calls...he doesn't know what's going on with my refund, or where it is.....yeah okay.....anyone have any idea who I can call to figure this out? Can they hold it for whatever reason? The whole situation is very stupid....part of the problem is my nephew doesn't understand that I'm his customer first, apparently the commission he just made off me wasn't enough.

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...
