Sell condo at loss or risk renting?

Hello, I bought a condo in Atlanta several years ago and recently have begun the process of relocating back home. I have picked the worst time in the world to do this apparently :’) The place has been on the market for 2 months with only one showing. My current options in this market are either drop the price to where I would have to bring $7k to closing, rent it out at about a $200-300 loss, or just try and wait it out another year. My partner has already relocated ahead of me, so waiting long enough for the market to bounce back isn’t very feasible, but my job is remote so technically possible. I don’t want to drain my savings just to get this place off my hands and prevent myself from being able to buy again in a couple years, but I’m also terrified about the risks of renting past just the initial monthly loss (tenants not paying, maintenance costs, potential future vacancy). Any thoughts on best way to approach this without making a decision I’ll kick myself for down the line?

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...

How to get started?

Hi! I’m 23F and I just graduated college with an english degree (😅) but i’ve been working in nonprofits since I was 16 and lucked into an amazing first job with an one of the biggest and best real estate non-profits! I love my job so far, but it’s my first time being surrounded by such wealth (and very hard working, deserving individuals.) To be quite honest, I‘ve had a rough few years juggling multiple jobs to finish school, and the idea of myself not living paycheck to paycheck seems light years away. This is all being said, I guess I’m posing the question towards the group of what I can do now to start building that kind of future for myself. I find real estate very interesting, and i’ve loved learning about all the machinations behind development- I’m just not sure where to begin within the industry (investment/rentals are definitely not an option for me yet). I’m also looking to go back to school, but being that I don’t know where to start, I wouldn’t like to begin classes aga...
