Patrick O'Keefe<p>After we had an offer accepted on a home in Burbank, our inspector found that the sellers had nailed a gutter directly into the recently converted garage, meaning that if it rained, it would leak directly into the walls.</p><p>It never rains in Los Angeles, our realtor quickly interjects.

Maggie Downs<p>I know it’s not an ideal time to buy a house, but it’s a terrible time to be a renter where I live. So I’ve been shopping for a home, I have a great real estate agent, and I think I might have found something in a neighborhood that always makes me sigh and think, “I’d love to live here.” </p><p>But buying a first house is so scary! This is such a big decision! How does anyone do this?</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/realestate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>realestate</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/homebuying" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homebuying</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/firsthouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>firsthouse</span></a></p>

ProPublica<p>"Many buyers mistakenly believe if they make the monthly payment stipulated in their contracts, they will successfully pay off the home by the end of the contract term. But those payments may only add up to a portion of the price of the home, and the buyer is expected to make up the difference with a lump-sum payment, known as a balloon, or by refinancing the loan. The lenders almost have an incentive for contracts to fail."</p><p><a href="https://newsie.social/tags/RealEstate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RealEstate</span></a> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/HomeBuying" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HomeBuying</span></a> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Somali" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Somali</span></a> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Minnesota" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Minnesota</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.propublica.org/article/how-contracts-for-deed-put-families-at-financial-risk?utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=mastodon&amp;utm_campaign=mastodon-post" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">propublica.org/article/how-con</span><span class="invisible">tracts-for-deed-put-families-at-financial-risk?utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=mastodon&amp;utm_campaign=mastodon-post</span></a></p>
