calculating net profit
Hello BP community,
I have recently accepted an offer on my current residence, as I thought I would be yielding a significant net profit, which I was planning on using to get my first duplex/triplex house hack in NJ. Aside from the market being extremely competitive, I also think I miss calculated my net income from the sale of my house. I made a rookie mistake of only accounting for the agent's commission in my calculation. Here are the numbers, any insights would be greatly appreciated. I did try to do some research online first, but everything I've found has been very subjective or had wide spread variables, which made it hard to figure out.
OFFER
$240,000
OWED
$205,000
AGENT COMMISSION
5%
CLOSING ATTORNY
$1500
THANKS AGAIN!
