Participant[quote=SD Realtor]I had a listing in Carmel Valley a few years ago. The seller was not doing well and had some health issues. After a few months on the market it became hard to reach her. I went to the home and I noticed a very bad smell when I reached the front door.
Needless to say you can guess the rest.

Not sure if that is the wierdest but it does stand out in my memory[/quote]
Yikes! Definitely weird. Did the place eventually sell? How much do things like that affects home value?

Participantben_vo… will you be paying slightly under market value for this house since you’re saving the seller 5% or so in commission?

ParticipantDo real estate attorneys provide offer contracts that’s similar (identical?) to the ones that one signs with a realtor? Not sure if those CAR forms are the gold standard for real estate transactions or not.

ParticipantLooks like he was “smart” enough to mortgage the whole amount; otherwise he would’ve lost his down payment when he walked away.
I think this guy took a risky bet and lost. I certainly wouldn’t have done what this guy did, but I don’t think it was “stupid”. My parents stretched financial to buy their first house (and broke the “golden rules”) when they first got married, and now it’s all paid off and it worked out really well for them. They saved tons of money by not buying a starter home and upgrading later, and bought their dream home right off the bat. I think the golden rules, like all generalizations, are just guideline/suggestions. Only you know your own risk tolerance level best. -
