Minimizing closing costs on multi-property transaction

[Mariah Jeffery]

At the end of the month I'm going to close on 8 properties on the same day. The title companies charge $318 per property each to the buyer and seller. I haven't asked yet if they will discount this fee. If they say no, would there be any benefit to going with a real estate attorney for closing? I assume the title co. still needs to be involved to issue the title insurance, but they charge separately for that, so maybe we could find an RE attorney to handle the signing of the paperwork separately?
