Renovation loan or traditional and pay for renovation out-of-pocket?

I’m curious about what the best route on a renovation loan versus just a loan against the actual purchase price of the house in a pricey neighborhood and footing the renovation cost. Quite literally the worst house in the best neighborhood.

Let’s say $500k purchase and $200k renovation, $800-900k post renovation appraisal.

I’m wondering if it’s better to pay for them separately, or bundle them all together in a renovation loan and have to pay for the mortgage at the new appraised cost, as opposed to the purchase price.

I understand taxes are always a thing, but I’m curious if doing them separately and anticipating paying taxes at the end of the year would be a cost save in the long run.

We have a nice inherited nest egg that we’re not touching and we want to make this work within our current means. Without disclosing too much, we’re in a house with a $2,400 mortgage now and could comfortably 2x it. We also have 400-600k coming within the next 5 years that I plan on 1031 exchanging into our mortgage. Just can’t predict when based on multiple factors.

TIA!

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...

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/
