Acres app update ?

Anyone here use the app acres for property lines and other info ? It used to show all lands around with owner or company names now only shows a few select properties with owner names and larger commercial properties or acreage not shown anymore. Anyone else notice/experience this ? **edit I had the paid version before and still do as of today submitted by /u/DeliciousAd6621 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1n78hul/acres_app_update/

About to close with cloudy title?

My partner and I are first time homebuyers and needed some outside perspective on a house we are trying to close on. We are waiting to speak with our lawyer, although we get the sense she would rather not deal with this. For context, we have been trying to buy for over a year in a very competitive market where, despite bidding over price, we have been beaten out by cash offers 10 times. We finally got an offer accepted on a house that initially accepted a cash offer but that offer dropped. When we received the contract is when the seller disclosed that the house was currently involved in a lawsuit due to an easement agreement with the neighbors. We were able to speak to the neighbors and (since we live in the community already) did our own research on the matter. The neighbors seem to be lovely people so that didn’t seem to be an issue- the day after we contacted them they called us back and said they were dropping the suit. We were waiting until we got some confirmation from our law...

Is 5% deposit in NSW a 95% debt. Is this help or a scam with extra steps?

Is 5% deposit in NSW a 95% debt. Is this help or a scam with extra steps? https://www.instagram.com/reel/DOFst9oFDgj/?igsh=MWpoNzZiajVhaHBhbQ== Honestly agree with this guy. The scheme looks like it’ll just jack prices up and screw first-home buyers. submitted by /u/Equivalent_Salad_569 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1n77uld/is_5_deposit_in_nsw_a_95_debt_is_this_help_or_a/

Shady listing agents

I recently put offers on 2 homes that were multiple listing situations. Both offers were either full price or above asking price. In both scenarios, the listing agents never contacted my agent to tell us that our offer was not chosen. We found out thru Zillow that we didn't get the home when it was marked "pending." Is this seriously how it's done nowadays? I find it incredibly rude. submitted by /u/Autumn_Onyx [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1n6imcl/shady_listing_agents/

Buying Next-Door Neighbor's Home

Hello helpful people! I have an interesting opportunity and looking for advice on anything I might not be considering. In the multitude of advice there is wisdom, so I'm asking. My wife and I own a home in Missouri. We've paid off the mortgage entirely. Approximate value currently is $350k-$400k according to a realtor friend. My next door neighbor recently passed away. He was a nice old man who was a good friend the last 10 years while we lived here. He told his brother in the hospital to sell his house to us and make us a good deal. His brother had the home appraised and told us he would give it to us for $100k lower than appraised value. It appraised at $569. The home has an in-ground pool and we have kids that are the perfect age to enjoy. The home is an upgrade in square footage and other ways. Of course there are some things we would like to change, like the kitchen. It has an unfinished basement. It's one of the largest homes in the neighborhood. I'm debt-a...

Seller refuse to fix? How would I back out? (TX)

I signed a seller disclosure form. The next part is supposed to be negotiation. She just refused to lower the price or make repairs. I haven't signed anything but the disclosure confirming that we both are aware of the house conditions. This is my first time so I want to do everything right. I am pretty sure they will try to get me to buy the house. submitted by /u/Admirable_Ad_478 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1n6du81/seller_refuse_to_fix_how_would_i_back_out_tx/

[LANDLORD - EU/US] How do you track ROI/cashflow on rentals without going crazy?

I only own a few rental properties, so I’m not a big investor, but I constantly feel like I’m flying blind. Cashflow is hard to pin down - rents come in, bills go out, but I don’t have a clear monthly snapshot of what’s left. Expenses (repairs, taxes, insurance, HOA fees, random Home Depot runs) always sneak up on me, and I never categorize them properly. I know equity is building as I pay down the mortgage, but I have no easy way of seeing the full picture: cashflow + equity growth + expenses. Spreadsheets get me part of the way, but they break whenever I try to add new formulas. Most software I’ve found feels like it’s made for big PM firms or it locks you into a subscription I don’t need. What I’d really love is a simple dashboard view: Income vs. expenses this month ROI on each property (cashflow + mortgage paydown + taxes/insurance factored in) A snapshot of property value, debt %, and occupancy Maybe even some alerts for upcoming renewals or major expenses Basical...

Help with removing someone off a deed in Las Vegas, NV

This situation is about my aunt & what she’s been going through but more or less her brother, my dad refuses to hold down a job for longer than a month because he feels like he shouldn’t work. He refuses to work, he doesn’t help clean the house, cook, do any sort of yard work. Nothing, he’s a figure taking up space in a room. Their mother decided to add him to the deed to the house before her death knowing fully well he’s never respected her a day in a life. I feel bad that my aunt has to put up with it because their mother decided to add him to the deed. Is there anyway he can be removed??? Also I’m sorry if this is not the correct Reddit to go towards. submitted by /u/beach-fossels [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1n5hz1e/help_with_removing_someone_off_a_deed_in_las/
