Should I sell stock to pay in full for a rental or just enough to make a down payment and mortgage? I’m planning for the future trying to make goals—and even though I’m not in a position to ask this now, I want to make sure I have a plan for when I am

A small forward to any readers: I own my personal home outright with no mortgage if this matters for determining mortgage portion of the question.

Now my question is:

When my brokerage account reaches 250-300k, should I sell the whole account to pay cash for a second property to use as a rental, since the house appreciates and the rent comes in too (and then invest that)?

OR

Should I only sell $75,000-$90,000 worth of stock and make a 30% down payment and assume a mortgage in order to keep the snowball in the brokerage account as big as possible while adding the rental (and mortgage)?

What makes the most sense? What do other investors do?

I would like to buy some property but don’t want to leave money on the table.

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/
