A Day in the Life of a Real Estate Mogul

Hey Tumblr Fam! 🌟

Ever wonder what it’s like to swim with the big fishes in the real estate sea? Well, today, you’re getting a VIP pass to the show! 🎟️🏢

Setting the Scene

We’re looking at a unique property deal through the lens of a seasoned investor. This isn’t your cookie-cutter Airbnb setup; it’s a deep dive into the world of assumable VA loans and negotiation tactics that tailor to the seller's and buyer's needs alike.

The Heart of the Deal

What makes this deal fascinating is the strategy involved. The buyer is dealing with a property listed with conflicting details (a common real estate headache!), and they’re using their relationship with the seller to their advantage. They discuss everything from the property’s potential cash flow to the nuances of assumable loans.

Strategy Talk

Assumable VA loans are the star here. They allow a buyer to take over a loan with potentially lower interest rates than the market offers—a sneaky good benefit in today’s financial climate. 🌊💰

Real Talk

This negotiation isn’t just business; it’s about relationships. Knowing the seller from previous deals provides a smoother path to agreement. It’s like having a backstage pass to your favorite concert!

Dive In!

So, are you ready to dive into the real estate game? Whether you’re looking to invest or just curious about how the big deals are done, remember: It’s all about the approach, the terms, and understanding both the market and the people you’re dealing with.

"In a historic “first-of-its-kind” agreement the government of British Colombia has acknowledged the aboriginal ownership of 200 islands off the west coast of Canada.

The owners are the Haida nation, and rather than the Canadian government giving something to a First Nation, the agreement admits that the “Xhaaidlagha Gwaayaai” or the “islands at the end of world,” always belonged to them, a subtle yet powerful difference in the wording of First Nations negotiating.

BC Premier David Eby called the treaty “long overdue” and once signed, will clear the way for half a million hectares (1.3 million acres) of land to be managed by the Haida.

Postal service, shipping lanes, school and community services, private property rights, and local government jurisdiction, will all be unaffected by the agreement, which will essentially outline that the Haida decide what to do with the 200 or so islands and islets.

“We could be facing each other in a courtroom, we could have been fighting each other for years and years, but we chose a different path,” said Minister of Indigenous Relations of BC, Murray Rankin at the signing ceremony, who added that it took creativity and courage to “create a better world for our children.”

Indeed, making the agreement outside the courts of the formal treaty process reflects a vastly different way of negotiating than has been the norm for Canada.

“This agreement won’t only raise all boats here on Haida Gwaii – increase opportunity and prosperity for the Haida people and for the whole community and for the whole province – but it will also be an example and another way for nations – not just in British Columbia, but right across Canada – to have their title recognized,” said Eby.

In other words, by deciding this outside court, Eby and the province of BC hope to set a new standard for how such land title agreements are struck."

Smart Negotiation Tips to Thrive in Today’s Real Estate Market!

If you haven’t heard yet, homebuyers are starting to regain some negotiating power in today's market. While it’s not a full-blown buyer's market, it does mean buyers might be able to request a bit more. So, sellers need to be prepared for this possibility and understand what they’re willing to negotiate.

Whether you’re buying or selling a house, it’s helpful to know what potential negotiations might arise during your transaction. This way, you’ll be ready no matter which side of the deal you’re on.

What Can You Negotiate?

In a home purchase, most things are up for negotiation. Here are just a few examples, according to Kiplinger and LendingTree:

Sale Price

The most obvious point of negotiation is the sale price of the home. Buyers today are cautious about overpaying, especially when affordability is tight. Sellers who aren't realistic about their asking price may need to consider adjustments.

Home Repairs

Following an inspection, buyers have the right to request reasonable repairs. If the seller is unwilling to make these repairs, they might offer to reduce the home price or cover some closing costs to compensate the buyer.

Fixtures

Buyers can request that appliances or furniture be included in the sale. For instance, having the seller include the washer and dryer can reduce the buyer's moving expenses. Sellers can leave their existing appliances to sweeten the deal and purchase new ones for their next home.

Closing Costs

Closing costs typically range from 2-5% of the home’s purchase price. Buyers can ask sellers to cover some or all of these expenses to reduce the cash needed at closing.

Home Warranties

Buyers might request the seller to pay for a home warranty, which helps with potential maintenance costs after the sale. This concession is usually affordable for sellers and beneficial for both parties.

Closing Date

Buyers can negotiate for a faster or extended closing period based on their needs. Sellers can also propose a timeline that suits their move, aiming to find a mutually agreeable compromise.

No matter which side of the transaction you’re on, your agent is crucial in navigating these negotiations. They’ll manage the discussions and advocate for your best interests. As Bankrate advises:

“Agents have expert negotiating skills. Without one, you must negotiate the terms of the contract on your own.”

Your agent can also uncover what the buyer or seller is truly seeking through discussions with the other agent. This insight can be incredibly valuable during negotiations, helping to find common ground and reach a favorable agreement for both parties.

Bottom Line

Buyers are regaining a bit of negotiation power in today’s market. Buyers, knowing what levers you can pull will help you feel confident and empowered going into your purchase. Sellers, having a heads up of what they may ask for gives you the chance to think through what you’ll be willing to offer.

Why home inspection is important

Home inspections are important for several reasons:

Identifying Potential Issues: A home inspection can reveal problems that might not be immediately apparent, such as structural issues, electrical or plumbing problems, or pest infestations. Identifying these issues early can prevent costly repairs in the future. Informed Decision Making: For buyers, a home inspection provides detailed information about the property’s condition, helping them make an informed decision about the purchase. It can also be used as a negotiation tool to request repairs or price adjustments. Safety Assurance: Inspections can identify safety hazards, such as faulty wiring or mold, ensuring that the home is safe for its occupants.

1 Kings 20: Ben-Hadad Rounds Up His Army And Attacks Samaria

1 Now Ben-Hadad king of Aram mustered his entire army. Accompanied by thirty-two kings with their horses and chariots, he went up and besieged Samaria and attacked it. 

2 He sent messengers into the city to Ahab king of Israel, saying, “This is what Ben-Hadad says: 

3 ‘Your silver and gold are mine, and the best of your wives and children are mine.’”

4 The king of Israel answered, “Just as you say, my lord the king. I and all I have are yours.”

5 The messengers came again and said, “This is what Ben-Hadad says: ‘I sent to demand your silver and gold, your wives and your children. 

6 But about this time tomorrow I am going to send my officials to search your palace and the houses of your officials. They will seize everything you value and carry it away.’”

7 The king of Israel summoned all the elders of the land and said to them, “See how this man is looking for trouble! When he sent for my wives and my children, my silver and my gold, I did not refuse him.”

8 The elders and the people all answered, “Don’t listen to him or agree to his demands.”

9 So he replied to Ben-Hadad’s messengers, “Tell my lord the king, ‘Your servant will do all you demanded the first time, but this demand I cannot meet.’” They left and took the answer back to Ben-Hadad.

10 Then Ben-Hadad sent another message to Ahab: “May the gods deal with me, be it ever so severely, if enough dust remains in Samaria to give each of my men a handful.”

11 The king of Israel answered, “Tell him: ‘One who puts on his armor should not boast like one who takes it off.’”

12 Ben-Hadad heard this message while he and the kings were drinking in their tents, and he ordered his men: “Prepare to attack.” So they prepared to attack the city.

Ahab Defeats Ben-Hadad

13 Meanwhile a prophet came to Ahab king of Israel and announced, “This is what the Lord says: ‘Do you see this vast army? I will give it into your hand today, and then you will know that I am the Lord.’”

14 “But who will do this?” asked Ahab.

The prophet replied, “This is what the Lord says: ‘The junior officers under the provincial commanders will do it.’”

“And who will start the battle?” he asked.

The prophet answered, “You will.”

15 So Ahab summoned the 232 junior officers under the provincial commanders. Then he assembled the rest of the Israelites, 7,000 in all. 

16 They set out at noon while Ben-Hadad and the

32 kings allied with him were in their tents getting drunk. 

17 The junior officers under the provincial commanders went out first.

Now Ben-Hadad had dispatched scouts, who reported, “Men are advancing from Samaria.”

18 He said, “If they have come out for peace, take them alive; if they have come out for war, take them alive.”

19 The junior officers under the provincial commanders marched out of the city with the army behind them 

20 and each one struck down his opponent. At that, the Arameans fled, with the Israelites in pursuit. But Ben-Hadad king of Aram escaped on horseback with some of his horsemen. 

21 The king of Israel advanced and overpowered the horses and chariots and inflicted heavy losses on the Arameans.

22 Afterward, the prophet came to the king of Israel and said, “Strengthen your position and see what must be done, because next spring the king of Aram will attack you again.”

23 Meanwhile, the officials of the king of Aram advised him, “Their gods are gods of the hills. That is why they were too strong for us. But if we fight them on the plains, surely we will be stronger than they. 

24 Do this: Remove all the kings from their commands and replace them with other officers. 

25 You must also raise an army like the one you lost—horse for horse and chariot for chariot—so we can fight Israel on the plains. Then surely we will be stronger than they.” He agreed with them and acted accordingly.

26 The next spring Ben-Hadad mustered the Arameans and went up to Aphek to fight against Israel. 

27 When the Israelites were also mustered and given provisions, they marched out to meet them. The Israelites camped opposite them like two small flocks of goats, while the Arameans covered the countryside.

28 The man of God came up and told the king of Israel, “This is what the Lord says: ‘Because the Arameans think the Lord is a god of the hills and not a god of the valleys, I will deliver this vast army into your hands, and you will know that I am the Lord.’”

29 For seven days they camped opposite each other, and on the seventh day the battle was joined. The Israelites inflicted a hundred thousand casualties on the Aramean foot soldiers in one day. 

30 The rest of them escaped to the city of Aphek, where the wall collapsed on twenty-seven thousand of them. And Ben-Hadad fled to the city and hid in an inner room.

31 His officials said to him, “Look, we have heard that the kings of Israel are merciful. Let us go to the king of Israel with sackcloth around our waists and ropes around our heads. Perhaps he will spare your life.”

32 Wearing sackcloth around their waists and ropes around their heads, they went to the king of Israel and said, “Your servant Ben-Hadad says: ‘Please let me live.’”

The king answered, “Is he still alive? He is my brother.”

33 The men took this as a good sign and were quick to pick up his word. “Yes, your brother Ben-Hadad!��� they said.

“Go and get him,” the king said. When Ben-Hadad came out, Ahab had him come up into his chariot.

34 “I will return the cities my father took from your father,” Ben-Hadad offered. “You may set up your own market areas in Damascus, as my father did in Samaria.”

Ahab said, “On the basis of a treaty I will set you free.” So he made a treaty with him, and let him go.

A Prophet Condemns Ahab

35 By the word of the Lord one of the company of the prophets said to his companion, “Strike me with your weapon,” but he refused.

36 So the prophet said, “Because you have not obeyed the Lord, as soon as you leave me a lion will kill you.” And after the man went away, a lion found him and killed him.

37 The prophet found another man and said, “Strike me, please.” So the man struck him and wounded him. 

38 Then the prophet went and stood by the road waiting for the king. He disguised himself with his headband down over his eyes. 

39 As the king passed by, the prophet called out to him, “Your servant went into the thick of the battle, and someone came to me with a captive and said, ‘Guard this man. If he is missing, it will be your life for his life, or you must pay a talent of silver.’ 

40 While your servant was busy here and there, the man disappeared.”

“That is your sentence,” the king of Israel said. “You have pronounced it yourself.”

41 Then the prophet quickly removed the headband from his eyes, and the king of Israel recognized him as one of the prophets. 

42 He said to the king, “This is what the Lord says: ‘You have set free a man I had determined should die. Therefore it is your life for his life, your people for his people.’” 

43 Sullen and angry, the king of Israel went to his palace in Samaria.
