Dumb to buy a vacation home?
I want to buy a vacation home near water. We would spend some weekends and parts of the summer there. i don't think we would rent it out, but that could be an option. Is it financially smarter to just rent places for random weeks every year? I thought owning a home was always better because of the equity you build up but now I'm rethinking.

Is it a red flag if a house has been sold every 2 years?
Found a house I love, but looking at the history, it was sold in 2020, 2022, and 2024. How do i know if it is just a coincidence (like people relocating), or is there likely a hidden nightmare with the house or the neighbors that makes everyone want to leave immediately? How do I find out the truth?

How do I handle a seller who wants a rent-back for 3 months?
We found a great house, but the sellers want a 'post-settlement occupancy agreement' because their new build isn't ready. Is this a huge liability risk? What happens if they refuse to leave or break something while they're renting my house? Should I backout?

Can the seller back out if the house is pending?
We have an offer on a house, but the seller is being weird. We're worried that they're going to back out of the deal. We're only a couple weeks from closing. We've sold our current house, packed, and have put deposits down for the move. But we have some serious concerns about the seller. So, can the seller still back out?
