Michael Gonzales Buyer default after extension — enforce EMD or keep waiting?
4 October 2025 | 11 replies
They’re offering just a token increase to the deposit, and my realtor is encouraging me to give them more time since there weren’t multiple offers.My concerns:Contract has technically expired after extension.Deposit is small and currently stuck in escrow.Buyer hasn’t been transparent about their situation.I don’t want to lose more time off-market, but I also know the layout limits buyer pool.I could, in theory, always draft a retroactive extension if they really got their financing together later.Question for the community:If you were in my shoes, would you enforce the contract and re-list now, or grant one final, short extension but only with a substantial non-refundable deposit?

Andy Horobec Anyone Doing Co-Living Rentals in the St. Louis Market?
25 September 2025 | 4 replies
Then eventually these great AirBnB's were a lot more upkeep, a much more active business than many people were expecting, then with the mix of market trends of lower occupancy during lower periods of travel crippled their ability to stay afloat for those just starting out compared to those that have been doing it for a while & have better quality residences at better prices.For Co-living, the property has to be worth while, the layout has to be setup good, the tenant pool may be a little more limited due to people having to rent with possible strangers, etc.
Pat Rineman Charlotte Launches $80K Forgivable Loan Program for Building ADUs
29 September 2025 | 3 replies
.👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Eligible for both owner-occupants and non-occupant property owners within city limits.📏 ADU must be no more than 50% of the main home (capped at ~1,000 sq. ft. for detached units).💰 Affordability strings attached: must be rented to tenants at or below 80% AMI, with rent caps tied to FMR at 70% AMI.📉 Loan forgiveness at $10K per year of affordability (8 years total), or up to $15K/year if you house voucher holders or tenants referred by city housing partners.🔑 Only one ADU per lot allowed.Why it matters:Charlotte is under major housing pressure, and this is a way the city is incentivizing “gentle density” without rezoning entire neighborhoods.For investors, it creates a structured pathway to add a unit with city support — though the affordability requirements and rent caps may limit cash flow potential compared to market-rate rentals.On the flip side, the forgiveness structure (essentially free capital if you comply) could offset the reduced rental income.My take: This could work best for buy-and-hold investors who don’t mind playing in the affordable space and are looking for long-term, low-cost additions to their portfolio.
