That's a really good question. Again it all gets down to conversation and relationship. If you decided not to sell your house anymore, you would ask for them to cancel the listing withdraw the listing if you want to come back at it later or change the expiration date of the listing contract, and again the contract is terminated as far as the $1000 that you were charged there are cost involved with us as listing agents to get that home ready and on the market several hours of our time as well as our listing photography that we've paid for ahead of time so I understand the $1000 fee to cover some of the cost of what we've already invested into the listing. I would say the answer to your question depends on the brokerage the listing agent and the communication and conversation that you have. I know that's not a straightforward answer but I'm so grateful that you are doing the research and you found the video to be of some value to you. Thank you for sharing your question, and watching the video.

Thank you Drew-gz4xw!

Thank you!! 😊

Thanks for watching. Are you saying you refi is at 8.25%

@@LauraGallantRealtor no we have a 8.25 now and we are going to refi at the end of the month.

Hi @tracyandcierra, so glad you found value in the content. Wishing you success as. you build a portfolio of rentals! Feel free to remail me if I can assist you further! Thanks for subscribing and watching,

Yo! Me & my lady just bought a townhome as our primary residence & we plan to rent it out & essentially do it again & again just like you. Can we connect please? I would love to hear about your journey!

Simple supply and demand comes into play for sure with low inventory. Our market is less and 2 months inventory.

Hi Dustybanditrepllant, first thanks for watching. I am not a lawyer so my reply is simply my own opinion and not legal advice. Are you referring to a leasing agent contract or the rental contract? I might agree with you the dates should be correct and since they are incorrect it may not be valid. I encourage you to contact your agents managing broker and explain the issues you are having and ask for a more experienced agent or at least for her to get support and assistance from one. Or ask to terminate anything you signed and put that in writing to the brokerage. Hope that helps some. Wishing you success in finding a rental soon and settling in.

​​@LauraGallantRealtor Thank you! I am referring to the contract we signed to exclusively work with that agent. I really just want to terminate and move on.

@@DustyBanditRepellant than I recommend reaching out to the managing broker of the agency. State this and ask to terminate the contract.

Thank for watching and I so appreciated Sterling Campbell offering this information. I think it is a great opportunity in today's market.

Hi @nellielee2915 I think you're asking when the security deposit is returned and yes at the end of the lease or after the termination of the lease. I believe I was discussing the fact that you can't commingle any security deposit with your own person funds. Keeping a separate bank account for the rental property use only. Thanks so much for watching!

Thanks yes it was a huge project and I cleared a lot out! Felt good.

Hi @alelr24 good question, from what I understand if the hotels are full and you find temp lodging for instance with an Airbnb or VRBO you can pay and submit for reimbursement if they approve it first. Be sure to connect to your base or installations housing department to verify first. If you are being PCSed here to Colorado Springs let me know I can work to assist you. Lauragallantrealtor@gmail.com. Happy to help you any way I can. I do help military find rentals.

Hello @77777withlove, first thanks for watching and what a great appreciation you have achieved, real estate is always a great long term investment. Second unfortunately I am not a tax advisor, I did search UA-cam and there are a lot of videos on this topic. This link is to a more recent one that may help...ua-cam.com/video/6MmtJAd39xY/v-deo.htmlsi=8EKi9XgcB0J4fSIm

Hi Cabnb0y thanks for watching and asking a question. Unfortunately I can't give legal advice, I too operate with an LLC , in this video I was referring to an ethical standard of practice that I am held to and educated myself on to execute within my business practices with the public as a REALTOR. At the end of the day ethical behavior is always a choice. What type of business entity you have and how you behave are choices. Perhaps contact your better business bureau in your area about registration with them? I hope that helps.

Hi Gary1710, thanks for the comment, tell me more about the market you're in and your insights. Love to hear more about your thoughts of buyers market coming. Our inventory is low and while current interest rate have buyers behaving like a buyers market we just don't have inventory available .

First thank you for watching and asking your question. While I'm not a lawyer and can't give legal advice, we are discussing contracts which are legal issues. I will say builder contracts are more pro builder always. I'm glad you've read it now. As for the buyer agency, I would say it depends on the state that you're in every state is different. is there a document in your builder contract that is identifying your buyers agent? Reread your builder contract with regards to the relationship with your current real estate agent. While I don't know the legalities of your state, without a buyer agency I don't think they have any recourse. They technically are not working on your behalf if there's no contract indicating that. But since I don't know what state you're in and it is a builder contract, which is not a state contract. I would refer you back to your builder contract to read through it. I would suggest getting legal advice though also. At the end of the day, this buyer agent may still have the ability to be paid from the builder.

Hi Kathiejohns1418 first I’m sorry that you’re having a bad experience. What state are you in because the contract does vary by state. The first thing I think you should do is read your contract and look at the areas that discuss your ability to terminate. Start there and then reach out to the managing or employing broker of the agent that you’re working with, and see if you could explain the issues that you’re having, and if they would reassign you to another agent. There is a reason why we ask you to sign a contract because we don’t get paid until we close the transaction. all of the work we do preparing your showings, property information, so you can make a good decision about any offers that you may be making, and all of the gas for driving around town for all of the showings. Realtors are independent contractors even though we hang our license at a brokerage, we do not get paid until a transaction closes. It’s important to understand that the brokerage we work for does not pay us unless we bring a commission check in from a closed sale or purchase. Any time gasoline driving around and everything that we do to expand time. We never capture back if we do not close a transaction so it cost us money. But it is important that we have a good working relationship with our client and if it is not a good fit for you and you are not under contract. I highly suggest that read your contract clearly, and then speak to the managing broker and tell them your situation, and then you’d like to terminate the contract. Feel free to call me if you have any additional questions. And again I hope that you are able to find the right REALTOR and achieve your goal of home ownership.

@@kathiejohns1418 read through the contract and fore sure, then talk with the managing broker of the office. If still not helping seek counsel. Are you under contract on a home yet with this agent?

@@LauraGallantRealtor no home contract yet!I don't know who to contact that is above this agent!And the only thing I see that has anything to do with an out(aside from the termination date)is something about a trade off to a new broker!Is there a way I can send you pictures of the agreement?

Hi Yvettebucio I would say talk to a title company or if you're in a state where it's an escrow state or an attorney state talk to one of them first to get the best advice. A quick claim deed does remove somebody from the title, but it doesn't remove them from the loan that has her name on it. She would still be responsible for the loan if she was on it. I can't give legal advice, but I can say that a quick claim deed does remove somebody from the title. But there are tax implications, so I can't really tell you what is best. I hope this information assist you. Thanks so much for watching and asking a great question. I wish you and the family all the best.

You’re welcome thank you for watching. I’m glad it was helpful.

Good question, So again you can look at your loan terms for each of the properties and see what they require for the length of time you must occupy the property before renting it out. If you just bought the primary home it is likely they would require typically 1-2 years of owner occupancy. If you have already been renting the secondary property and met the loan requirements or you purchased or refinanced it into a non-owner occupied loan, that should not be an issue.

You are welcome Elisabeth! Feel free to reach out if I can assist you further. Wishing you success!

Thank you for watching I’m glad it helped.

Hi Juan Jones, there's two different loan transactions that you're referring to. You would be refinancing the home to achieve the cash out to buy the next home with a new loan. The refinance won't have a down payment required. It will just have a certain loan to value required. The purchase home will have a down payment and that will depend on the loan program that you're choosing to purchase the second home with. Feel free to call me if you have additional questions. My phone number is 3039561793.

Hi Envision wewew, thank you for sharing your experiences with your PCS moves. it is so hard for the whole family as you said. I work with many military families making a move here to Colorado Springs and strive to help in any way I can. I do video tours for those who have to buy sight unseen, which is stressful and they must trust me. Today I took a video of a tree fort for a family to help get the kids excited about the new home here. Thank you for your family's service to our country, I am very grateful! Thanks for watching and sharing!

Most landlords charge pet rent to cover the additional costs of damages that often happen with animals living in a home. Home Partners is not the only one that charges pet rent and larger deposits. Owning. home allows a person to do as they wish with animals, but leaving/renting a home means it is someone else's investment and they will have to repair any damages an animal does to a home, often it is very costly. Sound like saving to buy your own home might be a great thing for you Dale. Wishing you all the best. BTW I am not part of HPA I simply did a video about the program.

I’m glad it’s helpful. That’s why I started the channel. Thank you for the compliment and watching my channel.

Hi Andres, that’s a good question. It really depends on which loan program you choose. If you have cash in the bank to put 20% down on the next home without refinancing for the cash for the next homes downpayment you can certainly do that it gives you different loan programs that you can use. Often times people use and FHA loan program that only requires 3.5% down payment. There are some conventional 3% down payments. Those are typically used with the first home purchase. But that’s not the only way to purchase a home, it all depends on how much money you have saved or if you needed the money from the Equity of the First Home to purchase the second. Some people do a refinance to pull the cash out to put a down payment on the next house. I think a common misconception is that an FHA loan is only for first time homebuyers, and that’s not true. I hope that answers your question. Edit… I just saw a Lender post that to use the rental income from the first home you may have to use 5% down or more.

You’re welcome Joseph! Congratulations 🎉! Be proud!

Hi Yuridia, Great questions. You would be applying for a loan for the home and that one loan, I believe you are referencing would be an FHA 3.5% downpayment, will have two applicants or however many will be buying the home. Only one loan so only one downpayment and closing costs and earnest money etc. What is more important when buying a home with a friend or family is how title will be held. I am happy to go over more if you want to call it might be easier to help you with your question. my contact information is in the description box of the video. Hope this helps.

@@LauraGallantRealtor thank you! I am a LO and I remember reading an article that referenced friends applying for a mortgage are required to put 20% DP than your typical couple or individual applying with a family member. My client is buying a home with her best friend, and I wanted to double check this won't be an issue since they only have about 3.5%. Sorry, I myself am still learning everyday. :)

Hi John B. I am not a CPA or Loan Officer, however what I believe you are describing n has to do with the type of loan you are purchasing the home with. If you are using an owner occupied loan product and will be living in it as the primary entity that is less expensive regarding your interest rates anyway. You can own a property in a trust, estate and a variety of way. If you are trying to use a loan product for income property, where interest rates and down payments requirements are usually higher, then I am not sure why you would use that type of loan product anyway if you will be living in it. Not sure what your intention is for buying the home in an LLC though? Feel free to call and chat more my phone number is in the description box of the video. Happy to chat more with you.

@@LauraGallantRealtor Hello, It would be a cash transaction and I lets say I purchase under land trust and beneficial of the land trust will be my LLC

@@johnb9710 I suggest you talk with your CPA and see what they suggest. I know there are new requirements for cash transactions in the name of LLC's over $300K purchase price. I called my title person and a lender and they also suggested you talk with your CPA. I hope you find the answer to your question. Love to hear what you learn if you consider sharing.

@@LauraGallantRealtor I called a of CPA, Escrow and title companies but they do not know about this.

@@johnb9710 interesting. I am thinking you are working to find a way for a tax break of some sort, am I correct? If that is the case it would be a CPA to best answer the question. When you do find something I would love to know also.

Hi Nancy! I miss you too! Hopefully you have been receiving my cards I have sent. Thank you for the compliment! I appreciate your kind words! Enjoy today!
