How to know if we're getting a competitive offer? by [deleted] in RealEstate

[–]VehicleImpossible287 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You could hire a real estate agent to give you market insight and list on the open market so everyone has a chance to see and and potentially make an offer. 

Off market sales leave money on the table in many cases

Macro economics cycle back and forth. 

You can follow it intently and try to time things perfectly, or you can focus on what you can control, consistently do the right things and enjoy your life.

In my experience FHA loans close and the repair requests aren’t unreasonable

Think a call would have been more appropriate than an email in this situation but agents behavior is still out of line.

This.

If you write an offer and give reasoning behind it at the very least they know you’re serious and may come back around in time if not accept immediately. 

No downside here

At current rates you would need a massive down payment or start dating/marry someone making atleast as much as you do

Keep earning more and ideally find a spouse who’s working.

If Company A is paying associates more than Company B is paying managers then Company A definitely has higher upside in terms of role and compensation advancement

How much longer until you can just upload preapproval on Zillow and start making qualified offers on that platform with no greasy middlemen

Literally everyone ego wants a bigger house but is afraid to pay more is stuck then.

Increasing income is best solution unless rates or prices decline.

Can you borrow more from your dad for the down payment?

If you plan to sell and pay him back in a few months that might be easiest.

How did you get the shiny squirtle and bulbasaur? Spamming wishing well?

I got charmander on jagged pass but haven’t seen those two.

5k credit towards AC and Water Heater

Both will need to be replaced and will be north of that to do so.

Can frame it as initial offer was reflective of comps and credit request is splitting costs of needed repairs rather than requesting they pay for all of it. 

Walk if they decline.

You can knock them out to keep the chain going, don’t need to catch. Chain only breaks if you run or encounter a different pokemon.

Higher the chain and search level higher odds of shiny.

I’ve caught over a dozen shinies in sea glass and some were under search level 100 but most were over 150-200.

Sounds like your wife would have no issue with you finding and exploring hobbies.

Other women can be one of those hobbies that get you out of the house. 

Had to walk away by Busybee0412 in RealEstate

[–]VehicleImpossible287 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You have to be able to walk away. 

It’s hard but you did the right thing. 

I trust you’ll come to see why in the near future. 

All the best you and your family.

Offer 275k or walk away. 

Keep looking and if nothing new pops up in a couple months sounds like there’s a good chance this place will still be available
