Distressed Property Question

In October 2023 bought a home built in 1993 on three acres southeast of Springfield, MO purchase price was $240k and put 5% down. Two months later insurance cancelled due to age of roof they said they sent inspector out and it didn’t pass. Took out loan on paid off car to pay for roof as after moving and buying home was cash poor.

2023 Tax bill came and withholding at my new job was wrong so got behind on mortgage was federal employee so taxes had to be paid first. Work out deferral and all is good. Then as federal employee with little tenure was encouraged to find other employment did so and took pay cut. In the meantime car repair for $3,000 and AC broke on house. There are many issues that weren’t on original disclosure I will be more honest than lat person. I owe $228k due to deferral.

Here is my question I am listing home if I can’t pay rent in new place and payment which frankly is not likely what are odds of short sale acceptance if I am responsive and proactive. Also, if goes to foreclosure and bank is short what are chances of wage garnishment.

Sorry so long of a post. I comsider myself blessed to have found work as most likely I would be first out at government job due to federal cuts. I just really don’t want wage garnishment.

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...
