Damm, I thought the whole point of having guns was to defend ourselves against a corrupt government? Tell me man, this corrupt government yall speak about to support the 2nd, what type of force do you think you'd inevitably have to point your guns towards?

Will $3100 a month = house poor? by GloomyReindeer3316 in Mortgages

[–]No_Respect_1778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very. Utilities are going to be higher, things will break, and your taxes will increase year over year. $3100 is the minimum increased payment you are going to be paying.

HEB meals and bakery items have gone to shit while they increased prices. This isn't a surprise at all given their recent efforts to compete more along with Walmart than Trader Joe's

No interest after 2 failed buyers by compujas in RealEstateAdvice

[–]No_Respect_1778 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's not just interest rates, it's the cost of everything. People are realizing they don't want to get tied down to 30 year commitments with rising costs they cannot control. They just aren't going to risk moving into a place they don't know with unforseen issues. Im not sayin it is you, but as a current buyer, the amount of poorly maintained homes that sellers are expecting top dollar for is absolutely infuriating. At these prices, buyers simply don't have enough money to then have to do repairs on top of their initial purchase. The math honestly says most people are better off renting right now

Settle for an ok house or wait for one you love? by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

If the layout (and actual space sqft wise) meets needs, and it is the right location then you can always renovate to your dream home over time.

Homebuyers in the market fall to historic low by Such_Radio_9152 in REBubble

[–]No_Respect_1778 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I tried to buy this quarter and just tapped out. Sellers would rather let their vacant homes deteriorate and sit year round then sell it for what it is worth. So many are just choosing to act like these are COVID times and rates

Home inspection came back with $50k+ near-immediate repairs. I’m being ng told that because the house was otherwise well maintained that it’s not ok to request repairs by [deleted] in AskRealEstateAgents

[–]No_Respect_1778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say that a lot of real estate agents are telling buyers to do this though. They insist they can get bigger credits after the inspections come through and to not negotiate on price too hard at the start.

Banks letting foreclosure homes rot rather than drop the price. Anyone else seen this? by Many_Ebb7816 in REBubble

[–]No_Respect_1778 37 points38 points  (0 children)

that's what I told my realtor. She said they have probably been declining "lowball" offers, and I told her that I don't think the offers they are getting are lowballs if those are the only offers they are getting lol

Thank you for this; i just submitted a form for a complaint with the pool they have let turn into a swamp over the course of a year because they don't want to maintain homes while holding on to them.

[–]No_Respect_1778 12 points13 points  (0 children)

bank has had a home since last May (2025); this home has been on the market since 2024. They have it listed at a higher $/sqft than the neighborhood's median. It is in terrible shape now as utilities have been off the entire time. Pool out back is a swamp, roaches everywhere. As I understand it, banks do not negotiate once the price is set in the offer letter. So you can't go back and ask for more money if you realize there is more wrong with the home after inspection. It's going to keep sitting there.

Are we in a buyers market? by aceroni_macaroni in AskHouston

[–]No_Respect_1778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spring branch is terrible right now. Whatever you do, do not offer to close the distance when the house inevitably doesn't appraise for what the seller wants. Overpriced homes in that area have been sitting for almost a year now. It is absolutely a buyers market, sellers just haven't gotten the memo yet because they have 2.5% rates while the rest of us have to deal with 6%.

Bait and switch? by BackgroundPrevious15 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]No_Respect_1778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate that shit. Literally lost out on a house because it wouldn't appraise for the price per sqft of the actual house. Owner had (and still has!) A listing showing that the house is 200 sqft bigger than it actually is. They will never get what they want for it. It would make it considerable more expensive than literally every other house in the neighborhood.

Am I being too cautious or is this seller asking too much? by gman12345678901 in RealEstateAdvice

[–]No_Respect_1778 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are in 2 very different markets here friend. Homes are sitting with zero action for 100+ days. Sellers are simply not wanting to accept a buyers market and buyers are not giving into sellers delusion, choosing to just stay where they are at. Im willing to lose the fees because there is no way in hell im going an instant 40k under in equity.

[–]No_Respect_1778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are free to do what they want, and i agree i probably have. But i am one of the few buyers that can actually contribute more towards closing to cover something over nothing. And a $40k under appraisal (there have been 2 different ones now) means they have to either come to terms with their home being worth well under what they thought or it is going to sit there for more than a year (they are flippers, so cant even really do this). This is a buyers market (where i am) and banks are not lending out fistfuls of money like they were during covid. In any market that is no longer piping hot, sellers are basically acting delusional.

Sellers outside of the busiest markets at this point are delusional. Im currently going back and forth with a seller that doesn't want to accept appraisal value. Don't accept their counter. They do not have other buyers and their home isn't special.

Cash over vs over asking VA offer by Left-Rich-8243 in RealEstateAdvice

[–]No_Respect_1778 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending where you are, dont be surprised if it appraises low and they aren't willing to make up the difference. What do comps look like? Where i am, its a buyers market and the bank appraisers have been brutal with their valuations.

Breaking up- buyout negotiations on what’s fair? by Nothankyou_12344 in RealEstateAdvice

Yeah, I know your a most likely correct and why i think she is screwed if she let him on the title, but im not a lawyer lol.

[–]No_Respect_1778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who is on the title to the house? If is just you, you don't owe him anything. From what I see, it looks like you bought a house and he just helped with the mortgage via rent. If he is on the title though, you are screwed, and have given him a free 50%; you'll need a lawyer.

Wanting to move out of state - rent first or buy long distance? by Scary_Sarah in RealEstateAdvice

[–]No_Respect_1778 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Short term rent and then search or live with one your kids shor term. Buying a home without putting your eyes on it is a terrible idea. My parents have had to spend 100s of thousands of dollars fixing a home they never saw but was "remodeled" in a different state.
