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.

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...

Pool fill without engineer oversight

We are in the process of purchasing our first ever home in CA and we just discovered in the disclosures that the new build property we are purchasing previously had a swimming pool which was filled without an engineer onsite to approve the work (details from disclosure below). Is this something we should be concerned with or not? Is it something we should have additional inspections conducted on? We are originally from the UK and not really sure what to do with this information and if it is concerning or not. A POOL DID EXIST PREVIOUSLY. COPING, TILE, GUNNITE AND REBAR WERE ALL REMOVED AND DIRT AND CLEAN DRAIN ROCK WERE USED TO FILL IT IN. COMPACTED FILL WAS NOT USED AND NO ENGINEER APPROVED THE DIRT AND DRAIN ROCK FILL IN submitted by /u/tommot82 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/dpyzw8/pool_fill_without_engineer_oversight/

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/
