Rent or Sell home in SC

So my wife and I bought a home in Bowie, MD a few months ago. It’s a beautiful home but needs some updating. We have about 40k that we can put towards renovations now, but that will only get us through a few renovations (carpeting upstairs, electrical work, basement getting finished). We will need to wait to do some of the bigger renovations like the kitchen, hardwood floors, and master bathroom.

We own a home that we custom built in 2021 on almost 7 acres around the Lake Wylie, SC area. The house is currently under contract with renters until August at $3,000 a month. We are debating to sell the house and use the proceeds to get all the renovations complete on a faster timeline or should we think more long term and continue to rent the house out and increase the rent after the lease is up in August.

The renters want to stay. We think we could clear around 200k on the sell. If we do increase the rent what do you think is a fair increase? Let me hear y’all’s thoughts.

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...

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...
