My mom and I jointly purchased a condo for her to live in. The deed is in both of our names clearly stating that we are joint tenants with right of survivorship. She took out a mortgage on the property in her name only. She recently passed away so the title passed by operation of law into my name only with her mortgage secured by the property. When I go to sell the property, will there be any issues with this mortgage or will it just get paid off like in a normal settlement? submitted by /u/Best-Dog-5906 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1h1sj4a/joint_tenancy_but_only_one_person_on_mortgage_and/

Hey everyone - I’ll keep this short! We had an offer accepted last week (11/17). We obtained pre approval from Bank A. Our closing date is 12/16. We have been submitting documents and signed our initial loan estimate with Bank A since then. Our mortgage rate is locked but fairly high (7.375%). We have not completed underwriting, submitted all our statements and documents yet, or gotten final loan approval from Bank A. Given the fairly high rate, I’ve been shopping around for a new one just with preliminary talks. Bank B can offer a better rate at 7%. Is it too late in the game to switch, is this something I can do without penalty? Assuming Bank B can still close by 12/16 of course. Any advice is appreciated. submitted by /u/Relax_Aaron_Rodgers [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1h110m5/too_late_to_switch_lenders/

Hello, we are in contract to buy a real estate investment property in La Mesa, San Diego county. During our due diligence we learnt that the seller has an active loan they took out to build an ADU from a lender called Mosaic. The seller was working with a general contractor firm who helped them file for the loan. The loan is about 100k at 10% APR over 10 years. The lender paid the GC in full. Permitting for ADU was done, some construction work and inspection was finished (foundation was laid, utilities were brought in). The GC eventually vanished and files for bankruptcy. This was a big news in San Diego, GC being MultiTaskr. There is a class action lawsuit against the lender implying them being part of a scheme with MultiTaskr that have defrauded hundreds of people in similar way. Now, our title company says that there is no loan/lien associated with the property. There are no active judgements. I am wondering if in future the seller loses the case and lender somehow gets a judg...

Hi I have a question. My house is paid off and I pay my property tax in December in the amount of 3150. I’m planning to sell it. If I sell , let’s say in march of next year, I’m I going to be responsible for the entire amount of 3150 ? Or Is it the new owner is responsible for the remaining 9 months?

I found an off market property I have under contract and looking to close on. As I did the title search via the title company, I found out there’s 4 owners on the deed. Which I wasn’t privy of up until then. However, 3 of the owners are fine with signing. But there’s 1 other who the family haven’t seen and believe to may have passed years ago . They don’t have a death certificate but hired an investigator to find him and was not successful. Title company will not proceed with closing until all owners sign the AOS or go through probate. I want to avoid probate cause I don’t know how long that’ll take and I would like to close asap, as well as the family (due to it being distressed). Is there any suggestions on how to work around this such as holding that 1 owner portion of the profit in escrow, having the family sign an affidavit of heirs on his behalf? Idk this is my first time purchasing a property so all of this is new to me. Any advice? I’m trying to close before the year is out...

Hi all, my wife's sister and brother are wanting to purchase a house for their mother. My mother in-law has only ever worked cash jobs and is over 60 years old. Apparently she won't be approved for a home loan under these circumstances? The plan is to purchase the property under her x3 children's names - but she will pay us for the repayments every month. I am extremely naive regarding this - please share any potential ramifications if we engage in this process. Does it affect tax costs? What if we wanted to buy a second house (We currently have a mortgage for our own home). Will it cause a lower chance of approval for a 3rd home loan? What happens if my wife's mother passes away and the other owners of the house don't want to immediately sell? Please share absolutely every possible way this could go south/any reasons why it could benefit us?

I've been looking into getting a single section mobile home. I've got my eye on one, and it's on the less expensive side of mobile homes. But it has everything we need, and it's brand new. So I went to my local dealer and asked her if she could get this specific one in. She advised me that they sell three different brand mobile homes, and although the one I'm asking for isn't one of the three she listed, she still said she could get it for me. I don't fully understand how that works. So her first question was, "why this home?". To which I advised, because I'm trying to work within a certain budget. Her next comment was to ask me to come tour some of her mobile home units and see if I liked any of them. I could already sense something was weird. I told her this was the home I wanted, and she said she could get it in. Now I feel like she is doing everything in her power to convince me not to go with this one (mind you, most all of these singl...

The pest control report quote $18k on repair and treatment cost, which is way over the normal cost $3k-5k. The original owner didn’t pay much attention on pest control. The main issue is drywood termite (no subterranean termite, surprisingly) and dry rot damage. The main cost, besides fumigation, is to replace and repair the wood structure of fascia/rafters/roof eaves caused by dry rot damage and replace window sill damaged by termites. Wonder what caused the dry rot damage? Also it seems there is some flying termites (or flying ants) in backyard during open house, is this normal at this season in Bay Area? Is this $18k treatment cost way higher than normal?

Long story short, the co-owner of my home took on a tenant without my permission (legal, unfortunately). She does not live in the home. I'm not getting any portion of the rent and not being paid for use of utilities that I pay in full. I'm not on the lease as a landlord, but the tenant did sign a release of liability for me. The co-owner and I are not on speaking terms, my lawyer has advised me not to engage with her at all, and she lives across the country. It's been just under a week and the tenant has punched holes in a door, had guests over every night, uses items that don't belong to him after being told to stop, has been loud and disturbing everyone else in the house as late as 3-4am, has thrown items belonging to me from a hallway into a spare room, and is honestly probably selling drugs from the convos I overhear, but I can't prove the last part yet.

Hi there, I am currently selling land and trying to protect the land, while also sell it. A few questions I am pondering. 1. I'm assuming a lawyer is who creates the official documentation. Any ideas how much the cost to handle the technical side of the easement? 2. What sort of restrictions are common? I was thinking "no clear cutting" but I'm sure this gets very specific. I don't know where to begin. I have also heard this steers away many buyers? Which makes sense, I wonder if it is a total deal breaker.

Hello, I’m listing a condo for sale in Seattle and going to work with an agent. They are saying that they require a 2.5% commission for the buyer agent. I was under the impression that with the previous court case the buyer is supposed to negotiate the payment with their agent. Before I go one way or the other, I wanted to see if someone here might have more insights into whether this is still a requirement or if this is just a quirk of this agency that would make me go elsewhere. What are the pros and cons of covering the buyer agents commission here? Is it listed on MLS?

I own a flat in California that is in a building with several other flats and an office belonging to a family member who is very toxic and difficult to deal with. He owns about 2/3 of the building and I own 1/3 (based on the paperwork, but really, I just own my flat inside the building and he owns everything else). I have minimal contact with this person now because of his behavior and the fact that it is unsafe for me to deal with him (no threat of violence, just mainly emotional and financial abuse). For building expenses, I instructed him to go to another family member who is basically holding money that he refuses to give me (long story I won't get into, not in the US so I have no legal rights over it). The only contact I have with him is if I need to convey a message to him regarding something with my flat that might affect his tenants which comes in the form of a one-way email (I email him to notify him but he has no communication with me - if he needs to convey a message o...

Hello, I would like to ask for opinions. I have an active real estate license and no experience. However, I found a condo that I like in LA and buying it. I’m using my parents’ lender for loan. When I was talking to her, she has a husband who is a broker. I said I like to learn how the whole process work in the future and she said her husband can put me in his company and do 50/50 in the beginning. Later 70/30 and then 80/20. She recommended that her husband should do the offer letter and put me as a realtor so i can save some money like $4000 to $5000. I was like okay. I thought her husband is getting $10000. Now when I look at the contract from seller, he is getting $20,000. So I feel like I was rid off which was saying 50/50 when I start working along side with her husband. Right now I haven’t paid EMA deposit yet. So should I ask for more money from the husband or should I just leave it at that?

I signed an exclusive buyer listing with an agent for 3 months when I made an offer on a home. Our offer wasn’t accepted and I don’t want to use this agent. Keep in mind I found the listing and just asked the agent to help us with an offer. A month later I’ve found another home I want to make an offer on. Is there any way that broker/agent can find out that I’ve breached the exclusive buyer agent agreement? What’s the likelihood that brokers/agents actually try to seek compensation from the buyer and go through mediation/arbitration?

Just got my bid accepted at 10% over listing price for a 1.100 sq ft apartment on ground floor, with high ceiling (14.7ft), with the two large rooms (living & kitchen) on the ground floor (860sq ft) separated with the bathroom/storage in-between. The open bedroom is located on a mezzanine/entresol floor, accessible via stairs in the kitchen. This ceilings of this floor are 6.5 feet high. This layout fits our current lifestyle (young, no kids), but if we were to have kids we would need a place with closed off bedrooms. This also strikes the question, if we were to sell this place, would it be difficult to sell? Next to the high ceilings, the place is quite new, with a new kitchen, parking place, modern bathroom, good insulation, large windows. Only concern is the layout is not suiting families with kids or couples planning for kids whereas the house is located in a neighbourhood were people generally move to to have kids.

I’m very new to this, but we just had an offer accepted on a house, we got a good price, but it’s contingent on us closing at the end of the year. We didn’t set any other contingencies. Problem, given the timeframe, we def will not be able to sell our current home by then, which means we can put down about 10% now, but won’t be able to put down the remaining money after we sell our home which will probably be next year sometime. My question… what options do o realistically have to lower the payments? Can I do a second downpayment after our home sells? If not, can you think of any other options we can consider to lower our payments since we won’t be able to put down 20% at the time of closing?

I'll try to keep this as clear and unconvoluted as possible, but it's been a real hell of a time for about two years now. My 77-year-old grandma, desperate to have a bigger house after (stubbornly) downsizing years ago, decided to finance a house via the help of my aunt's husband's signature. Both house title and mortage are shared. My family and I didn't like this a bit because both he and my aunt have a history of using, but they seemed to be on the right track...but still. Well, that all came crashing down. He even has active warrants out currently. He and my aunt are no longer in the house, but problems persist nonetheless. Most recently, they showed up and stole items from her sheds (stihl weedeater, grandpas tools, etc) and also cadged her engagement ring. They are scum. Upon witnessing this my grandma, rather infirmed with COPD (oxygen tank and all) walked over to the vehicle he was stashing these things in and tried to see what else he'd taken. He tol...

Buying acreage from big timber company in WA state. Raw land. Cash sale. 45 day feasibility. Feeling pretty good about things. We are a week away from closing. They paid for the survey as per the contract. Last week I hear from my agent that their agent says they want to terminate because the survey showed the corner of the property crosses the logging road on their adjoining commercial timber parcel. There is no easement. "fuck you" is my first thought. I look over our contract, no provisions that allow them to back out for any reason, let alone one such as this. Not only that, but the contract clearly shows the property line "to be hacked and blazed" by the survey, totally going over the road in question. They wait a few days and send a termination agreement they want us to sign. No mention of the road. It mentions a paragraph in the contract that has nothing to do with anything. I start researching.

So I've had this issue while moving around a lot. I go with a real estate agent to visit an apartment or house for rent. I usually have a checklist that I take with me (on my phone) and make sure that most of the stuff gets checked off after making sure that the place meets my requirements. Without the checklist I have forgotten some things in the past and really regretted not making sure the place had it. Then of course there are the places that are simply bad that have all kinds of issues including things outside the home like train tracks nearby, a noisy street, dogs barking, garbage all around, and so on. I'm thinking of getting an app built to handle this. It would let others know what you thought of the place and maybe it might help them to decide whether it's worth wasting their time going there to visit. I also think it would be great to rate the real estate agent or company. I've had agents lie to me. They should be punished for this. What are your thoughts...

Hi all, a family member has offered 300k to help me buy a home. It's not money I can just have and is specifically for buying a home. The thing is I work abroad and move countries often for work and won't be settling down anytime soon, but I'd like to take advantage of this opportunity.

I am trying to buy a house in an area with little inventory. It’s not going well. I am already working with an agent, but I met another agent who says that they often find off-market properties by reaching out to homeowners in the area in which I am looking. He explained the process of determining which home owners are likely to have equity, which homes meet my requirements, and “inviting” them to sell. My question for realtors or homebuyers: does this strategy often actually work? I can’t imagine selling my home because someone sent me a letter. But maybe people do? I’m trying to decide if it’s worth switching agents to try this strategy. My agent has probably shown us at least a dozen homes (before we settled on this area) and I have a bit of guilt about breaking my contract with her. And I just don’t know if this strategy is really worth it. submitted by /u/EbbStunning7720 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1gsm3xm/inviting_homeowne...

Curious to learn what made you pick a traditional agent vs a flat fee listing service when you were selling your property. If you were actually aware of and looking into alternatives to the traditional 6%. Obviously the listing fee savings are ridiculous, $100-$500+ (up to low thousands/1% if the provider offers a full service option) vs a 2.5-3% with a traditional listing agent. Yet you decided to pay more anyways. Why? What's the one thing (or more) that made you say no to flat fee, yes to traditional? Much appreciated! [PS1: I'm sure i may get a flood of "you get what you pay for" responses from agents themselves, I hope they'll refrain - please refrain!, as I'm curious to learn the thinking of genuine actual sellers; PS2: cross-posting, as this community may be a better fit than a fsbo community] submitted by /u/XrealEstateBroker [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1grvmvb/you_considered_using_a_flat_fee_agent...

Hello everyone, I am under contract and my home inspection found a couple water stains on the ceiling drywall, one that was recent. The house was built in 1995 I’m having trouble even finding a home insurance company to offer me a quote because the roof is too old. We are set to close next week and I am freaking out (reason for the 2am question). The square footage of the living space is 2800 and the garage is 781, so around 3600. I saw online that you take the sqft and multiply by 1.12, then * that by the cost of the material you are using. I would be using asphalt shingles and those are apparently $4 - $15 per square foot. So by that math, I would be looking at between $16k and $60k. The sellers realtor told me that they got two quotes for $23k and 27k, but hasn’t shown them to me or my realtor. She also told me that they said the roof had 4-5 years left. But when I asked the inspector yesterday he told me 25yeras is the expected lifespan and this house was built in 1995 so only a...

Hi. I got divorced two years ago approximately. I own a house free of mortgage. This was bought in 2012 when I was married. The property was given to me by my x . I basically cashed her out with a cashier check for the amount she requested and kept the house. Everything went through and judge signed, we signed and everything was finalized. It was peaceful. I was thinking about buying another house and renting this out but I don’t wanna miss out on tax free money bcs once it’s used as a rental, the tax benefits gone. I’m I correct? So it’s better to sell and get the tax benefit and then perhaps buy a rental if I want to. So my question is, now I’m not married, does the 500k capital gain applies or up to 250k ? Thx .

Hello this won’t be taken as legal advice just looking for insight into this situation. My parents are separated (but not legally divorced) and have been for 14 years. My dad is trying to buy a house with his current spouse but his realtor says he can’t unless my mom signs an interspousal transfer grant deed to move forward. She’s skeptical to sign. Just wanted to know if this is true that this is necessary or can he move forward in buying the house and doesn’t need her at all? submitted by /u/naomiijanie [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1gr072y/interspousal_transfer_grant_deed/

Moths are relatively small insects with wingspans of around half an inch — but as a Georgian heiress has discovered, they can be insatiable little critters. Iya Patarkatsishvili, the daughter of an oligarch, and her husband are suing a property developer for £36 million over an infestation at the Victorian mansion they bought in west London in 2019. You can see the Notting Hill mansion here . The property included a pool and spa, gym, wine room, library and cinema— but just days after Patarkatsishvili and Yevhen Hunyak, a dentist, moved in, the couple spotted the first signs of an “infestation”.

This is a tough one for us. We’ve been looking for the perfect forever home since spring of 2021. Timing never worked out with house prices and interest rates, but we finally found a house that was recently listed that we liked and was mostly in budget. It has a nice big yard and a cute (albeit somewhat small) house. It would be a temporary spot for us-maybe 5 years. It’s in a great town with excellent schools and very close to grandparents in the same town. We walked it through and it wasn’t perfect-we made a little list of doable upgrades-but we thought it was a great starter home to begin raising our family of 2 (2y and 0y). Prior to putting in an offer, we had begun doing diligence (a lot of it) on the septic. It passed Title V in February. But we didn’t know how old it was and didn’t want to get stuck with replacing it, so we asked. The current owners have only been there for 10 years, so they weren’t sure. The house was built in 1963 and the town had no record of septic install...

Started looking at condos, currently looking at ones that are either 3 or more stories. Personally for moving purposes I hate stairs. I also am not a fan of hearing people above me, and have also always been told to stay way from first floors as they are more likely to be vandalized etc etc. Would like to hear other people’s opinions and how they chose what floor (if they could). submitted by /u/Medium_Ad8311 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1gpflgx/considering_a_condo_what_floor_do_you_pick/

Hello everyone. I apologize if this isn't the right place to post this. I'm a data analyst conducting a study within the real-estate industry about the challenges facing realtors who are new to the industry i.e. still in their first few months to 1 year as licensed professionals. Particularly in relation to marketing as this has proven to be the most challenging factor that affects new and even some experienced realtors within the industry. To facilitate my research, I would like to conduct a series of interviews with a few realtors within this category. I believe there are practical, simple and cost-effective solutions to a number of the issues facing newly licensed realtors in relation to marketing. However without holding actual discussions with individuals within this category, both potential solutions and problems are subject to bias and misrepresentation. I would greatly appreciate it if I could connect with a few realtors within the community in this regard as I belie...

Hi. I’m 45 with two kids. Divorced and I own everything that I have. My net worth is 1m and 250k plus . this is 500k index, the rest is my home and bonds, cash etc. I’m already heavily invested in the market and happy with it for my risk tolerance and always invest in it biweekly regardless or DCA . I own my house out right. I have 400k in T bills plus I also have a good emergency fund in a HYSA . Bcs of my risk tolerance, I can’t be all in the market. I was thinking to buy another house for myself and daughters to live in using the money from T bills and renting out my current home. I like diversification into different types of investments. I also like owning two houses out right . I’ve been trying to figure something out for a while. I know RE is localized, I live in Missouri and 400k will get something good even with the crazy market. Not trying to run after returns but still trying to at least keep up with inflation and build more wealth I guess. submitted by /u/smooth-vege...

Me (33F) and hubby (37M) own a home in very popular family-friendly suburb of M/HCOL city. $260k per year combined gross income. Looking to upgrade in house and keep our current home as a rental property. This is my (our) first foray into real estate investing and looking for opinions. TIA! Stats: Current house: Valued around $600k, 15-year mortgage is around $3k, including taxes and insurance. Expected rental income also would be around $3k. We owe $240k on it and will be paid off in 10 years. House I want to buy: Originally priced $1.03M, now at $895, and we think they might accept $840 (we get here via another sale price reduction, and a 321 buydown). Very motivated sellers. It’s beautiful, great location, checks all the boxes for us. My husband isn’t totally sold on some of the finishes (house leans a bit more classic than modern/trendy, I am okay with this, I sort of like that about it). We would put 10% down, and one of us would take a 401k loan. We make significant contribut...

Hey everyone I’m looking for some advice about buying investment properties with friends. Two of my close friends and I are thinking of creating an LLC to buy an investment property. We’ve known each other for 15+ years, and we’re all pretty comfortable financially, so I’m confident in our relationship and trust levels. Each of us has around $25k that we’re willing to invest, and we’re planning on pooling our funds to buy our first rental property. A few details about our plan: • We each already own our own primary residences, so this would be purely an investment venture. • Our goal is to buy our first property together, rent it out, and eventually refinance to free up funds and move on to the next one and so on. I’m looking for tips on: 1. Setting up the LLC: What are some key things we should include in our operating agreement to protect everyone’s interests and keep things smooth? Anything you wish you’d added when you set yours up? 2. Financing Strategy: Are there particular l...

I have a friend who moves out of his house every 2-3 years. He is not a rehabber or having to move for work, and he has a wife and young kids. Can that possibly be smart? it seems to me that the transaction costs would be extreme, and disruptive to his family, but I wonder if I'm missing something. The homes have gotten a little bit bigger each time, but not a lot. submitted by /u/ridersofthesky [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1gnvn8t/friend_moved_houses_5_times_in_past_1015_years/

I'm really young and new to this whole thing. I have enough money to put a downpayment on a condo, and I assume enough to pay off a mortgage. Problem is I know so little about how the whole thing works I might be missing other fees and such. There's a lot of jargon I simply might quite understand either and am worried about it. I'm from New Jersey and intend to buy something in the Bergen county region.

I’m looking to buy my first home, my parents and brother are home owners. This whole plan is to help get my foot in the door with homeownership. Here is our current scenario and brain storm plan. There is a home listed for $680k. We all agreed to put down $100k ($300k total). I will be the sole person on the loan ($380k) so I can use the house as a deductible. All 3 of us are on the deed of the house. This house for me so I will be living in it and paying the monthly mortgage. My parents do not care for the month they are putting in, it’s basically giving me my inheritance now as buying a home will get even harder in CA. Now, as for my brother. How do we find a way for him to make profit from this or benefit something? I’m the one paying the mortgage. Say we sell this house in 15yrs, I don’t believe it to be fair that he owns 1/3 which means he gets 1/3 of the profit. Wouldn’t I have lost money considering how much I’ve been paying of those 15yrs? Any other ideas on how he could pr...

I'm considering buying a house that is currently 120 years old. I know that many homes in Europe have lasted for centuries when properly taken care of.

Pardon my ignorance, we are first time home buyers and new to California. How are mello roos paid? We are opting to not have our property taxes and insurance in escrow and we will just pay these once per year (or in two payments for taxes). Will mello roos be added on to our property tax bill or is it a separate bill entirely? Is it something we have to pay monthly? submitted by /u/nvUaWVm360S [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1gn5kmk/question_about_california_mello_roos_and_escrow/

Very newly a judgment was given by the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission directed Shree Vardhman Developers Pvt. Ltd to refund 48 Lakhs with interest to homebuyer for delayed possession and deficiency in service. In this case, the complainant allotted a flat in the builder's project named Shree Vardhman Gardenia, Haryana and paid initial amount of Rs. 1,00,000. The homebuyer takes a loan of Rs 41,48,001 for the purchase from ICICI Bank. The bank directly credited Rs 38,68,001 to the account of the builder. He had signed a Flat Buyer's Agreement with the builder. As per the agreement, he was to bear the EMI payments of the loan till the date of possession was given to the homebuyer. However, this quickly became frustrating when builder stopped paying EMI to the bank due to which financial stress was inflicted upon the homebuyer. This issue is attempted to be solved in many ways. Homebuyer has sent numerous letters to both the bank and the builder. All of his l...
