I need to be out of my DFW area house by the first week of December- my choices are narrowed to closing first week of November and leasing it back at $100 per day (which totals slightly less than the mortgage payment), or wait until Dec 1 to close but risk the buyer backing out if the market tanks (debt ceiling, US defaults, etc. ). What would you do in my shoes?

What’s the issue with the sale/leaseback? seems like a great option if it’s already on the table

Honestly I think the likelihood of a market crash in 3-4 months is pretty low, and at worst you move into a temp housing situation for a few months. Much better to be in a situation where you sell high, go to a temp housing for a few months, and get to buy low, than to be stuck with a house at a deflated price

Hello people of San Diego! Would love to hear how y’all are affording to live here comfortably. Please state your company, position, TC, YOE, and do you have a side hustle? I’ll start - I’m an advisor in Wealth Management with TC of $70k, 3 YOE and no side hustle. Among other things, rent just jumped from $2500 to $3700 for 2 bedroom and areas were looking at.

I thought it adds value to have whirlpool tub. But can’t even change fixture. Should I get rid of it?

For any of you real estate investors, what tools or sources did you learn from when getting started. Can’t find a mentor currently so want to find some highly recommended books or videos. If focused on the tri-state area (NY, NJ, Long Island mainly) that would be even better. My hope is to buy and rent out a apartment while also owning a house and house hacking that by renting part of it out. Trying to understand all the steps, traps, and how to find if it’s a good investment.

Got news that my house closing may have to be moved due to a delay in the sale of my home. My partner’s income was excluded in the DI ratio, but if it were included we’d be well under the % threshold and can be approved to close on time regardless of the sale of my house. However our mortgage company’s underwriting team has been painfully slow in confirming if her income qualifies. She’s been at her new job 1 month after a year off. Anyone with underwriting experience have insight?
