I don’t have enough up-front cash to pay for real estate but I’d like to buy some property. Are there loans I can get, or should I finance it directly with the seller?

Austin S asked:


I am looking to invest in real estate. This would be my first ever purchase of a property for such reason. I have been told to always look at the assessed value of a property before buying to see if the property is priced well or not. How does this value compare to the actual value of a property? As I’ve been doing research, I’ve noticed the majority of the properties are priced way above their assessed value. Does that automatically mean they are overpriced? Or is it that the assessed value is a certain percentage of the actual value of a property? Anybody that would be willing to share their wisdom of real estate investing, please do!!!

I bought a house a year ago, since then I’ve added landscaping.
Flowers, borders to it, bushes etc in the front and backyard. I’m working really hard on it with my kids because I want my yard to look nice and I know that it raises property value…
But how much?
Any Experts in Real Estate and what adds value and how much value it adds?
ok, I’m no expert but I do know one thing for sure after studying various aspects of Real Estate and investing for the past 10 years….lanscaping DOES raise value…although limited, but it does. My question was how much. I know half a trillion other things that can add value to my home and MORE value than lanscaping….but that wasnt my question.

what is the statue of limitations for property/real estate issues in New Hampshire:
Issues that were supposed to be resolved at our closing of the purchase of our house, seemed to be resolved at that time. However, several of these issues have re-emerged (apprx. 8 mos. later): they were not fixed correctly. I was wondering if there is a time frame or statue of limitations in New Hampshire

Michelle P asked:


Alright, we just put in an offer of full asking price today the first. However we were told there was an offer already in before the 29th, then on the 29th the list price dropped. Now there is a total of three offers including ours. My question is would a real estate agent lie about amount of offers placed on a property or could the first offer have been so low that the bank lowered the price to get more interest? The property has been on the market about 110 days and nothing, but now three offers? what do you guys think?
Happy New Year!!
Oh this is a bank owned property, don’t know if that makes a difference

Giggles asked:


I currently live in Baltimore County, MD but I plan on relocating to another state (maybe Georgia) in about 2 years. Considering the housing market now, should I try a place now with the intention of selling it in 2 years and hopefully making some money to put a down payment on a place in another state? Or will I just be setting myself up for a potential headache?

Lisa L asked:


I am in escrow on some property in which the seller and his real estate agent were not very forthcoming in their disclosure statements. Through a third party I found out some things about the property that are detriments (such as occassional flooding) but I am willing to overlook them and still purchase the property. I have released all my contingencies and we have a close date set.

My real estate agent happened to tell the seller’s real estate agent that we found out some of these things on the property - most importantly about the flooding - and now the selling real estate agent wants me to sign a bunch of documents listing out what I found out as if she had told me about them. I don’t want to do it - it took considerable effort for me to uncover these issues and I have already signed off on contingencies. I don’t think I need to also let her off the hook as if she had disclosed these things to me - she did not. Can the realtor force me to sign these?
I am asking if a real estate agent can legally force me to sign informal and misleading documents in order to progress with the purchase? The seller and I have already signed all legal documents as outlined in our legal contract.
