Nathan Wolf's Q&A

I say build. You will get what you want. Builders want the work. Just make sure you find one that will complete the job and not go out of business.

An old roof can lose a buyer. An old roof can lose financing. An old roof can add value in many neighborhoods. Values in North Carolina have not collapsed as in other areas of the country.

Well the seller is in North Carolina. I've been licensed here for 11 years. Maybe some agents should defer to those who are actually licensed in the state. And disclosure rules in North Carolina apply to all sellers, regardless of whether they are represented by a Broker or self represented as a FSBO. The seller could be sued if disclosure is not made, as it is a material fact related to the sale of the property, if there is an existing executed (signed) sales contract. The seller is still bound by contract law which is why they must disclose if there is an existing contract.

Read the whole question. Kimo60 asked 1. Does she have to change the sign. and THEN asked 2. Am I required to disclose this?YES, Kimo60, you are required to disclose it. NO, you do not have to change the sign.

A new roof is a great asset. I recently showed a home that had roof shingles missing. I recommended the seller have a roof inspector from her insurance look at the roof. She did and it was found to have wind damage and hail damage. The roofing contractor paid her deductible and she got a new roof without any money out of pocket, and now can tell potential buyers that the home has a new roof!

YOU CAN CLICK MY PHOTO, call me until 9pm tonight if you want. I will email you the paperwork to make the offer.

You could buy a property you live in, and use it as an investment. You can purchase up to a 4-plex and still qualify for special financing. Up to $8000 Down Payment Assistance, plus up to $2000 Annual Tax Credits for first time homebuyers-- and a 4-plex you live in would qualify.

NOT TRUE. There are still laws that apply to FSBO listed properties in the state of NC. Sellers must still disclose. You could be sued if you do not. There are state mandated forms and listing FSBO is not an excuse from the law.

By the way, North Carolina Housing Finance Agency still offers up to $8000 Down payment assistance at ZERO PERCENT INTEREST! Plus first time homebuyers also may qualify for up to $2000 ANNUAL TAX CREDITS when applying for the Mortgage Credit Certificate. We can discuss all of these programs if you haven't heard of them before.
