New to Real Estate Investing
Hello, I recently decide to attempt at building wealth through real estate investing and I am having difficulty understanding who determines the closing cost. Is it the seller, the title company, or someone else entirely. Also, when the closing cost is determined who does the money go to. Does the money go to the seller directly or the title company who in turn pays the seller or does the money go to the title company period. I would greatly appreciate any information on this topic. Thank You.
