NEED ADVICE!! Closing on First property
Hi All,
I am getting ready to buy my first property I just wanted to make sure I have the right understanding on exactly how closing works... I Have a have a few questions..
1. How long will the closing take?
2. How much would it be and can you tie the cost in with the loan? On approximately (150k-200k) property.
3. Is it recommended to Hire an attorney? how much would it be approximately?
4. Is it required to get the property inspected by an inspector or can you self inspect if your family is in the house building business?
Thanks in advance for all the help!!!! Much Appreciated!
Regards,
Steve W.
