Which is the stronger offer? Asking price is $800k. Waive appraisal completely and offer 820k or offer $840k and cover an appraisal delta up to $40k.

Title says it all. In a highly competitive market. Buyers have been waiving all contingencies to win. Trying to figure out the best approach. submitted by /u/figsnswigs [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/lslp7u/which_is_the_stronger_offer_asking_price_is_800k/

Real estate Express and quizlet can they know?

I am doing a Real estate Express course for florida, i got stuck in this one quiz for a chapter and i ended up looking up the answer on quizlet, while on the quiz. Now that I'm about to finish the course and take the practice exam i was reading the section named "it's time to prepare for your exam" and it says at the very end "A final note. When you pass your final exam you will need to log out of your account after you complete your survey and log back in after a timeframe of approximately one hour. The system needs to collect all data from your course before your certificate will be available." My question is will they know that I used quizlet for one of the chapter quizzes and will they do anything? What would happen if they knew? submitted by /u/intotheunknown26 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/lsk0os/real_estate_express_and_quizlet_can_they_know/

Closing delayed

We were supposed to close today and that didn’t happen. We signed an extension since yesterday cause we knew closing wasn’t going to happen. Turns out the sellers thought they could renegotiate contract to get more money. Thankfully we have a great agent and she sent an email saying we would not renegotiate. Hopefully we will close tomorrow or Monday at the latest. This week has been so stressful, I just want it over with. My question is how often do this things happen? It is a normal thing with the home buying process? submitted by /u/Taste_Sea [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/lskc2c/closing_delayed/

Land outside of san marcos, tx with unpermitted home. What should I consider?

Hey reddit, I am currently considering buying land outside of san marcos,tx from a family friend. There are multiple issues here though and I have some questions. He is older and looking to sell land at a "discount" for ability to stay there until he passes. I am ok with this as long as it the discount is substantial enough, and I don't have to assume care of him in his final years. Another big issue is that there is a 4bd/2bath home on the property that he built himself (construction worker his whole life) but never got permitted. Again, I am fine with this as long as it doesn't somehow screw me royally down the line. This land is in the county so he says zoning /permitting are loose and there aren't any regulations. My questions: 1. If I allow this guy to stay on the property "until he dies" (say 10 years). Will I have an obligation to take care of him in the event he can't care for himself? A totally unpermitted home on a county property, ho...

Is a whole building worth more than the value of the individual units?

Perhaps a naive question, what I'm getting at is: take an apartment building with each unit owned separately. Would these owners make more money by each individually selling off their units, or banding together and listing the entire building as one sale, splitting the total? I've been wondering this since I imagine it would attract different kinds of buyers, but are whole buildings valued differently than just adding up the prices of the individual units? Is it even legal/doable? submitted by /u/Cleverpenguins [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/lskz5b/is_a_whole_building_worth_more_than_the_value_of/
