Section 8 neighbors destroying my property value

Over the last ten years, my middle class neighborhood somehow thought it'd be a good idea to allow section 8 in. We have 3 of them and they have homes so dilapidated and disgusting that it really drags down the appearance of the place. Everyone else has well manicured laws, no trash, etc. These homes have weeds growing everywhere, broken blinds, their dogs run loose at all hours of the day, trees with broken branches, porches falling apart...

I am about to list my home, but my neighbor has a broken down car in her driveway that's been there for THREE years after it was destroyed in a tornado. She has garbage bins everywhere. Her home looks abandoned. What can I do about this? Can I do anything? Surely she can afford a tow truck seeing as she drives a brand new vehicle. If i was a homebuyer and i saw her as a neighbor, I'd turn right back around. I have no hoa so that's not an option.

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...
