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...

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...
