We've been using the same realtor and looking for the house for a year. We've put in an offer, and there is a chance it might not go through from what I am hearing on inspection. Now the inlaws are guilting me and saying that we "need to figure out something soon because he's been working with no pay for a year." If this deal falls through, will he fire us? submitted by /u/Man-0n-The-Moon [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/jjzvf8/am_i_in_danger_of_losing_my_realtor/

Let's assume this house is roughly 1500 square feet. Is this an appropriate place to ask this question, or is there a better sub reddit? Thanks! submitted by /u/Badgers5674 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/jjzsxb/is_it_expensive_to_redrywall_a_whole_house/

I’ve owned a couple multi family properties for several years in a rougher part of the Midwest. More recently those areas have developed, and the values have increased. I never intended to hold long term, but cash flows were good and there wasn’t an immediate need to sell. I’d like to unload them now and get a primary residence, but not sure with the market crashing if small commercial residential properties will drop in price as well or if there still might be a market for them. Any thoughts? submitted by /u/BlueCranium [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/jjzpcd/is_now_a_bad_time_to_sell_multi_family_property/

I'll never forget when I took the SATs and got a nosebleed and wasn't allowed tissues or to go to the bathroom nor was I allowed to have a bottle of water with my medication I had to take (for some reason) during that time of day which fucked me up even more if only cuz i suffer from EXTREME anxiety that can consume me even if it's completely unwarranted when looking at it from a purely rational sense..... ANYWAY....Point is I'm quite nervous and would appreciative for ANY advice or insight possible from those who have taken and ideally those who have RECENTLY taken the exam: Has anyone taken the exam online? If so can you give any insight on how that works? Can you have a water bottle ? If they actually don't allow a bottle of water to be brought it is there somehow water they provide/have in the room that can be accessed and used? OR is the only possible way to get water during the test is during bathroom breaks? - oh and HOW DO BATHROOM BREAKS WORK? Are the...

My husband and I have been working with a realtor for a few months. She's spent about 40 hours with us. In this insane market, we haven't found anything to purchase with her. I recently asked my landlord if he would sell the house we live in to us. He gave us an offer with a 3% discount for not including a realtor. We want to take his offer, but we also want to be fair to our realtor.

What the heck is up with this listing? https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/2145-31st-St-Spc-52_Springfield_OR_97477_M26254-90860?cid=txt_shares_rdc_ldp It looks like up until it was listed here for $90k it was worth like, $160k, and all the houses around it are worth that. It is a particularly attractive sample for it's kind, too. So what's the scam? Some kind of bait and switch? submitted by /u/wofo [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/jjzk7d/are_zillow_and_its_kind_filled_with_scams_example/

What would you go with (1) 10-Year ARM at 1.75% or (2) 30-Year Fixed at 2.375%. In a RE market that's heavily dependent on appreciation vs. cash flow (e.g., NYC), I'm thinking it's better to go w/ the ARM. Plan is to hold forever most likely but given the cash flow vs. appreciation dynamics, think it makes sense to just keep this leveraged as long as possible. Might make sense to go interest only in a couple years when the product is back so no point in paying a premium for the extra term premium.

Hi all, thanks for any advice. I live in a county with high land prices, and have been looking for a parcel of land on which to expand my business (plant nursery). Zoning code says industrial zones are allowed to have the kind of plant nursery business I want. I've been keeping an eye on the industrial-zones portion of my neighborhood, and a 2-acre parcel popped up. It was originally part of a larger industrially-zoned parcel, but a new road cut through it and sawed off this relatively small piece. The owner paid $6,000 in 2011. SEV is 20K, and asking price is 28K. There are about $2,500 in unpaid back taxes that the seller's agent says she will pay (true?). No utilities/water/electricity, it's bordering a residential neighborhood, and accessed via that neighborhood, and covered with trees and brush. For me, it's ideal. What's a fair offer? The agent said it's already below comps for this kind of property but it's been on the market for over a month and I t...

Hi all! Apologies for the odd question, but I am in a bit of a bind. I was wondering if anyone here knew whether lally columns (or poles) are passable through HUD inspections. We got our own personal inspection, but through our down payment assistance program, we need a HUD inspection as well. If we're able to close on this property, those things are getting yeeted into the sun, however, we can't do much as we don't own anything. Any input is much appreciated! submitted by /u/Lifeguardess [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/jjz45h/hud_inspection_vs_lally_column/
