Fence debacle

Location: Colorado

Hi y’all, Looking for some advice.
We live next to a rental and the fence between us is falling down. There are holes in which our cat has escaped to their yard and the renters dog regularly pokes his head into our yard, which worries us as we also have a dog. The fence is on the property line.

The landlord responded to the estimate from our contractor that he has been on medical leave for three months, does not know when he will return to work, unfortunately cannot afford a new fence and simply wants to fix it. We have yet to respond.

While I really want to believe him and feel for him, I also looked up his record. He’s a real estate broker and houses.com tells me was a seller for a 600k home, and a buyer $1.4 million in homes this year, and two of those sales were in June. He also owns three houses in my town.

We recently redid the fence on the other side which was in a better condition than this one, and the posts were all rotted and had to be replaced. I’m worried that simply fixing it is putting a bandaid on blood cancer.

While I’m currently wanting to die over the principle of not letting a dude that made more money than both my partner and I last year win, I understand that will not fix the problem. Do y’all have any suggestions on what you would do or how you would respond?

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...
