Has anyone bought homes from any of these national builders like Lennar, Pulte, KHov, etc. How has your experience been? Please share the location as well for reference

One thing I’ve noticed about Lennar and KHov is that the homes look very “pretty” but the quality of materials is par or subpar. For instance I think these days instead of hardwood for flooring, builders are using Luxury Vinyl Plank (not everyone is picky about the kind but something I was turned off about). There are other reasons but people still choose jump the bandwagon and buy from them.

LVP is the bomb. Hardwood is overrated and the price is at least 2x LVP

I love lennar homes, have a couple friends that bought with them and they said it was great

All 3 you mentioned are very popular in NoVA. Their properties get picked up super quickly these days.

Exploring these in NJ area - read horrible reviews for Pulte hence second guessing

Crying for my RSUs….started at my company about 6 months ago and got some RSUs split over 3 years.

Stock price has been cut in half since then, along with my RSU value. 😭 how do I cope?

We both currently make good money but recognize that could change. Curious if anyone else has been in a similar situation and has helpful thoughts to share.

Would love everyone’s thoughts! Which of these two options would you pick if your goal is to buy and hold for appreciation purposes given these are in a very hot market. Both same lot size.

Option 1:
- $175k lot located on very busy street but across the street from new $700k townhomes and restaurants

Option 2:
- $250k 3 bed/1 bath fixer upper located at end of dead end street, houses on street all fixer uppers, located down the street from Option 1 (so also near new builds and restaurants)

100-150k in cash how would you invest it ? 1. Buy low priced out of state property all cash (~100k multi family in city like Cleveland ) With remaining money fix up property, rent and hold. Or 2. Buy multiple properties with loan and put down payments on 2 multi family homes, (up to ~400k each 20% down) out of state or possibly local. Buy mainly turnkey, rent and hold.
I know either way should essentially work but would love to hear different perspectives.
