Comparing real estate scenarios

Hello,

I'm new to real estate investing so I wanted to get some perspective on a potential decision I'm looking at. I live in Clermont and have a house worth about $470k with a 3% mortgage holding a $285k loan balance. Payoff is April 2051. I was looking at buying a new home to move into in nearby Montverde for $600k with 20% down with a 5% 30 year promo. The $120k down payment would come from my liquid investments.

My current home mortgage and HOA is $2087 per month and I estimate the new home mortgage and HOA to be around $3687 per month. I should be able to rent my 4 bedroom Clermont home for $2800-3000 per month.

I created a spreadsheet to try to compare two scenarios. One where I stay in my Clermont home with the low mortgage and just continue to invest the $1600 a month difference in the stock market and the down payment of $120k will stay in the stock market. This results in a 10 year increase of $667k combined which includes returns of 8% per year in stocks, equity built from payments on Clermont home and a 3% growth rate for the house price.

For the two house scenario, I estimate the growth to be about $659k which assumes the same rates of growth for the house appreciation at 3% each. About $177k equity built from mortgage payments, cash flow of $600 from the rental per month (reinvested in stocks at 8%).

Not sure if I'm doing the math correct here but it seems like their both pretty close in terms of wealth accumulation. The main difference is staying put would be less risky since I'm not a landlord and all that comes with real estate investing. We would love to have a new home that is larger which is why we're even considering this in the first place. If any one can point out any flaws in my math or reasoning here whether I'm over or under on my estimates, I'd really appreciate it.

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/
