Thanks for watching!

Oh wow! So sorry to hear that happened to you.

Hope it was helpful for you!

The homeowners did a great job!

@@Texashomelife Of course, Your videos thumbnail is very attractive. Who makes your video thumbnails? I am waiting for your next videos. Thanks

Unfortunately they can offer whatever works for their numbers. They will typically offer at or close to market value, then reduce that number greatly for any perceived updates or repairs. Their main focus is people that want a fast sale.

So sorry to hear that. We have shown homes listed by them and the "updates" have not been comparable to their listed price.

Glad you found it helpful!

Yes, we're not seeing them as much either here in the Flower Mound/northern Dallas-Fort Worth area. I think for one reason is the price point is not conducive to what they buy. And you're right, they definitely overprice their homes and let them sit for months at a time. It will be interesting to see if their business model lasts.

You can have a storage building in the back yard. As for a mother in-law suite I am working to confirm that. I will be glad to send you the information about the building requirements for the storage building. Feel free to email me so I can can send you the information that I have. Let me know how else I can help.

This is the response I got from the HOA company. "Unfortunately, the request is not permissible according to the CC&R guidelines. OCCUPANCY. Other than the completed principle dwelling, no other structure on a Lot may be occupied as a residence at any time by any person. This provision applies, without limitation, to the garage, mobile homes, campers and storage sheds." If you are meaning a casita for a pool house that would be a different item from what this response is I believe. If you would talk about more feel free to reach out.

I was going to add a casita as a guest house in case I get my parents or children coming from CA. Thank you for replying.

@@jkim4712 It could be a different story if it was attached to the house be a roof line. Meaning you might be able to have a breeze way connecting the two. Let me know if you are are open to this?

Glad you found it helpful!

So glad you found it helpful!

What "health impacts" are you wanting to know more about?

So glad you found it helpful!

Hey there, it really would depend on how much of that salary you'd want to devote to a house/house payment. A general rule of thumb is 2.5 x your annual salary. That would put you at $750,000. There are quite a few great FW suburbs that you could get a $750K house in. It all depends on several factors - drive to work/school, size of lot/acreage, etc. Give us a call and we can chat for a few minutes to narrow it down for you. 940-536-3735

Affordable housing is definitely an issue. However, there are more affordable homes just on the outskirts of the DFW metro area. The biggest downside is the drive, if you work in the main cities.

Correct. According to their website, here is what they say: We can typically buy homes with solar panels if the panels are owned outright.If the home has leased solar panels, we can only buy it if the lease has been pre-paid or purchased outright at the time of closing.

I decided to talk to them on the phone and yep sure enough. They said they'll have to have it bought out. But that that could be done against my proceeds of the sale. In my case, there's like 10 years left on the solar lease. So this is now a big consideration. Because when I sell with a real estate agent, a regular buyer can just assume the solar lease as I did when I bought the house. Good to know! Thanks!

@@EE-bl3zr even if you decide to sell with a real estate agent, you can still pay it off with the proceeds from your sale. And likely make more from your sale than if you sell to Opendoor - after they give you their cost of repairs to subtract from their initial offer. We've had experience helping sellers navigate selling with leased panels. Yes, technically most companies will allow the new buyer to assume the lease. But they must qualify, on top of the loan they are getting to buy your house (unless they pay cash). And most buyers don't want to do that. They want the panels to come with the house - free and clear. Unless you can clearly show how much money the panels are saving you.

I don't recall having to do any additional qualification to assume the lease when I bought it so it was no big deal. I'm not in Texas so maybe it's different in Texas. I'm looking into doing portfolio trading with their existing homes because I want a simple process. I do know a good agent though in the area in the event that that doesn't look optimal.

@@EE-bl3zr We wish you the best!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks!
