Do buyers ever damage a house and then not go through? Do they pay for damages?

thanks

In some states there are laws against raising the rent more than a particular percent a year. should look into your states tennants rights.

1000% correct

Tell that to Invitation Homes.

I had this situation. Every time repairs needed done to the property like, new water heater, replace roof, things that had nothing to do with me as a renter, the landlord would raise the rent. The last time he came and said he was raising the rest $200 a month. I just said NO. He said, the other homes in this area cost that much. I said, you may have noticed I don't rent from them either. He tried to claim that taxes were going up and he had no choice. I said. So if the taxes were not going up you wouldn't increase rent, thats what you are saying. Yes he said. I said thats great. Because I already looked up this home on the county tax website and the taxes have not increased from last year, or in the last 3 years. He said, Yes but they probably will go up so I have to charge more. I said. Tell you what. If the taxes actually go up this year. I will pay the difference in the increase of taxes. He said NO, I can't do that, what if you don't pay I can't take the risk. I said. I have always payed everything I owe ahead of time for 7 years now. You have no reason to think I wouldn't pay. The truth is that you just want to charge more to make more money. There is no possibility that even if the taxes went up that they would increase by $2,400 a years since that is over twice the current taxes on this property. Again he tied to say he has no choice but to increase rent. I again refused. I said I won't pay you any more for the rest of this upcoming month as he had given me no advanced notice, but that I would be moving out before the end of the month. I paid him for 1 week of rent, prorated. I ended up paying another week after that one, as I was still in the middle of moving out. I had made a lot of repairs and improvements to the home during my time there. I'm sure this is part of the reason he thought he could get higher rent. I removed every single improvement I had made, every part I had used for repairs, etc. Other than that I left the home in perfect condition. Then after I left I called the county inspector and let them know that the home I had been renting had extensive electrical damage in the attic from squirrels which the landlord had knowingly ignored for some time, and that I had moved out because it wasn't safe. It was at least 6 months before he was able to rent the property again, and the new tenants were not paying more than I had been. He lost around $10,000 on rent and the most basic repairs, not to mention all the improvements I had removed. Also because he apparently couldn't actually get anyone to pay more in rent he would never recover that loss. I moved into a home across town in a neighborhood at least 2 - 3 times higher quality, and rent is $50 less than I was paying him.

Do the inspections!

I have a property that I have owned and rented to the same family for over 6 years now, I have never once raised their rent because they are such great tenants. Other properties in the same neighborhood are going for about $600 more a month. Doesn't matter to me, they always pay on time if not a week early, I can show up unannounced and the yard is always mowed and kept up, house is always clean, have never got a complaint from neighbors. I had to get the garage drywalled and ordered the materials and had them delivered, a week after delivery I headed over to install the drywall and when I arrived it was already installed, tapped and mudded, and it was beautiful. My tenant did it himself. I gave him 3 months off his rent for doing the job. The house is paid off so all I pay is insurance and upkeep and the rest is profit, I don't need the money and I have enough to live out my days without worry so there is no need to make them pay more. By the way, I offered to sell them the house and finance them with no money down, they passed on my offer because once their children are out of the house they plan on moving to HI where they grew up.

Is there some kind of device you can use to identify all of the outlets(problem outlet, working, nonfunctioning) without having to bring something you'd want to keep at home? Also, pictures are smart, but I'd also take a video of myself naming all appliances and features, and write an inventory of all of it on the same video. Just for the extra coverage, keep the inventory somewhere safe.

Makes sense, but I want to get an inspection. I'm 5 yrs out more or less before selling. I just don't like surprises and would rather take care of any problems now vs right before selling, where it would be stressful

If they pay, I literally don't care. Any damages that occurred during the inspection will be covered by the buyer. Duh......

When we sold, the inspector ripped an entire section of mounding off of the wall, so I do understand the frustration. The buyer deserves to know what they're buying, though. I wouldn't halt a sale over that even if I could. The issue is the damage, not the inspections.

I would waive the appraisal, but double down on inspections.

I did not like renting, trying to get something fixes is a pain, we are great tenants, my husband will fix most things instead of calling it in, the fence came down during a wind storm, him and my son fixed it over the weekend and re-enforced it. I always try to leave any place better than we found it.

I'm in sweden so it's a bit different (i sued and had an administrative win) but i had an experience like this with something i forgot to check they took the water-water heatpump with them and damaged the borehole beyond repair (and caused some damage in the HVAC and basement) I didnt even look in the boiler room where it was because i didnt even think of it as possible.

What fool skips a home inspection!? That’s crazy talk! Even if the home is brand new, you should always have an inspection.

Drop the price. That’s not even a debate. Houses are a big investment and people are not typically going to pay more than the value for the area. You can say you’re looking for the right buyer but if your house sits on the market for too long people start questioning its value and start thinking there’s something wrong with it.

It's expensive to change tenants. It also requires cleanup and repairs. Great tenants are valuable. Horrible tenants? Not worth even the highest rent.

Julia Roberts doppelgänger!🤩

What does it mean when you say comps?

Buyers want the lowest price. When the buyer finds a home and decides to sell they want the highest price. They always compare their home to the highest price house in their area even though their home is not comparable.

And VA appraisers are all different as well 😅

I even want a home inspection NOW for my own info..I'm not even selling yet😊

Hi Alisha😊 how can i contact you? Any whatsapp contact or instagram page to chat?

Man that weather seems awful but the actives look fun !

So when in Wyoming, "70 MPH" is more likely to be the wind speed indicator rather than the driving speed limit. 😄

It really depends. An asset is worth what a buyer is willing to pay. But it is also depends on what a seller is willing to part with it for. The difference is called the spread, and this depends on many factors, including the state of the market and socioeconomic factors, as well as the financial position and plans of the seller. If you don't care how long it takes to sell, as long as you get your price, then sit on it as long as you like. If you are in a rush to move out for whatever reason, maybe you are willing to sell a little lower for the convenience. You are selling a single huge asset. How much you get from it matters a lot to you. From the realtors perspective, your house selling contributes to their monthly income, and there are plenty more houses to sell. In a hot market, they are likely more willing for your house to sell cheap and quick so that they can move on and make more. They aren't equally motivated to get the best price as you are.

I am currently buying and am one block into the country outside the city limits. There is public water, but there is a septic tank. Anytime there’s septic in that county and a house is being sold, it is mandatory that there is an inspection. My agent accidentally waved the inspection and the lawyer flagged it, and said, whoa whoa, we’ve got to do an amendment. And I am waiting on the results.

I almost bought a property, someone outbid me and got it. They faced a $12-15,000 septic and drainfied replacement plus the well water was bad. You cannot live there until its all fixed. I dodged a huge bullet!

EVERYTHING is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it or make someone else pay for it. I really enjoy your short clips. All the best.

GREED vs COMMON SENSE… it’ll get you every time Alicia! 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

All of them, l need to sleep 😴😴😴 at night's.

One "myth" is definitely true and we found proof during our visit... ua-cam.com/video/CSjOlrH4kPA/v-deo.html

I’ve been in my apt for almost 3 years now and they’ve only increased the rent once. I love my apt ppl too, so nice and always prompt if I need things fixed. Good tenant/landlord relationships are so hard to come by but I’m blessed I guess

That depends on location, market and price range the house is in. If it is an upper end home in a lower price area does not mean that is it cost 4 million to build that just because this around the neighborhood is 750 that it’s worth 750 in those cases it needs to be waited out. if you are just track and all the same floor plan sold out at 800k and you want 900k then yes you need to come down.

It's tough to take advice from a disheveled sloppy woman who looks like she takes nothing seriously, especially selling homes. Wow😮

The realtor wants to sell that house as fast as possible with minimal effort so they can move onto their next client. They don’t want to do a tonne of showings because that eats up their time. If the house is unique, it actually does take longer to find the right buyer. If it’s a standard cookie cutter house in a market with lots of comparables, then maybe sitting on the market too long is not going to benefit anyone.

I think you should start out low if the people want my house there will be a bidding war

You nailed it - the house is worth what a buyer is willing to pay. Anything else is wishful thinking.

In my area in the north east, if you really want a house, waive the inspection and your offer goes to the top of the list. It’s tactic the real estate agents employee on regular basis. They then tell you to get the inspection afterwards.

If it's a move in sale situation yes...if it's a total rehab and not livable, unload it....😊

I mean depends on the situation. If you'd comfortably sit on it for ages because you're not in a rush, sure, sit high for longer

Drop or you’ll never sell

And car salesmen offer the best price.

Always buy "as is". Get an engineer's report and reliable quotations. If you can get a credit that's a bonus. Repairs done by sellers in order to seal the deal are always done on the cheap

I used to take students of mine (parents permission-of course) to ride my TB mare- middle school age. These were kids that had bad families/ acting up in school/ low self esteem. The difference riding and being around the barn made. It was a wonderful experience ❤

When realtors sell their own homes they wait and sell at higher than their clients. Let's say that the difference is $50,000. The realtor who owns their home is willing to wait the longer period because they're going to take home the lion's share of that $50k. When they're taking a small commission from a client though, the small leftovers from the $50k no longer justify the additional wait time and effort. The realtor's incentives are unaligned from their clients. The client is trying to get the best price, while the realtor is just trying to move fast.

Every situation is different. Sometimes a seller really needs to move past a house. If you can't make that payment while you're off living the life you're trying to live, just roll with a price drop. 13 grand usually isn't worth delaying your life by 6 months, even if the delay results in a higher offer like you're hoping.

Same goes with employers/employees. You are worth what someone is willing to pay.

If you aren't getting what you want you should pull it off the market. You aren't obligated so the agent can get their commission.
