Advice Needed for First Deal!!!

[Noah Black]

Hello, 

I am making an offer on my future mother in-law's home and seeing as it will be my first time buying a property I could really use some advice. It is an off market deal and I would like to proceed with out an agent (although It would be nice to have one to hold my hand right now!!). So far I am pre-approved for the loan, I am currently working on a P&S agreement, and after that I plan to schedule an inspection/appraisal. My main concerns right now are making sure the P&S agreement is legit and how to go about closing (who, what, when, where and how?). Any and all insights are welcome!

Thanks!
