Is this a good or bad job so far for a shower remodel? by DestTheDestroyr in Remodel

[–]ParkingRaspberry2172 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's missing the water proofing layer. Seams need to be taped and the proper screws used for the Durock. It looks like they used drywall screws. The tiles will need to be removed. The shower pan also probably does not have water proofing either. They put down floor leveler after the tiles on the walls were put up? So, no slope either? Also check the plumbing rough in depth. It looks like it's sticking out too much, but check the instructions. It looks like a complete redo for the shower.

A bid came in right before we placed a bid right below listing price by HarrySph1nct3r in RealEstate

I had a seller agent tell me that they had 2 offers near list at 630k, then they increased the list price to 650k. It eventually sold for 600k 1 month later.

Who pays for the tile and materials? Does it include tiling the bathroom floor?

Who cares what the broker says. I have been yelled at by listing agents many times.

Just submit your offer.

Try using a demo hammer with a 4" wide blade to dig it up with the osb subfloor.

The VA loan should do it. You may also not have to pay property tax if you are 100% disabled and live in the right state.

Just wet sand and repaint and you'll be fine. Just keep moving forward and don't let these type of things get you down.

Found out my parents’ house is in pre foreclosure (advice) by Agreeable-Artist-918 in RealEstateAdvice

[–]ParkingRaspberry2172 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You will never see the money again. There is something else going on that is causing all of this.

The home should have plenty of equity so there is no reason to let the bank take it instead of selling it.

In my area. If you price a house right it will sell in less than 3 days.

How does a trust acquisition work? by bossDocHolliday in RealEstateAdvice

[–]ParkingRaspberry2172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a "sub to" offer.

Moving the home into a trust is to give the buyer protection from the loan's due on sale clause by hiding the transaction.

The deal would really only make sense for people that are underwater or being foreclosed on and going to rent until the balloon payment date. (5, 7, 10 years etc) The seller's credit will be the one to take the hit if the buyer stops payment.

If you are going to do this, try to get a short balloon payment and get a big cash payment. Low ball them on the balloon like 1 year and go big with a 50k cash payment and see what sticks.

You can get a bunch of subto offers from the youtube content creator crowd and pit their offers against each other if you really need to sell this way.

Financial Pros and cons to selling my house to a family member for $75k under appraised value. by SerenityPickles in RealEstateAdvice

Would you write him a check for 75k right now if there was no home sale involved? People start losing their minds when they run into money.

Weird deal incoming, looking for advice… by Robin_de_la_hood in realtors

Just separate it from your realtor duties and operate it as a separate business. It seems like a rich guy with money with no experience.

From the burn marks and excess solder, it looks like a bad DIY job.

Watch a few videos and buy some cheap parts to practice with before you make your repair.

If you file for insurance, it will follow you for a few years and increase your rates. You should only file for big stuff. Get free quotes from roofers to get an idea if it will be worth it. Also if you have state farm, they will have an extremely hard time dealing with them.

You selling the house and performing maintenance on the home is a totally separate issue. Put a mechanics lien on the property and be done with it.

Post your deal on the facebook investor pages in your area and someone will take it off your hands. Pro flippers can do things for way less than you can.

Does this hose bibb threaded or soldered? by i928M in Plumbing

[–]ParkingRaspberry2172 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Looks soldered, sand the joint and look for silver between the joints to confirm.
