Need to reduce closing costs (Chicago purchase)

[Patrick Britton]

I have bought a few rentals in the Chicago area and am put off by the considerable closing costs, especially from the title company.  I'm looking at something right now and the down payment is $18,000 (20% down) and the closing costs including estimated lender fees is over $9,000.  Going with a non-traditional lender looks like there's a reduction in lender fees, but I don't know what to do about title costs.  

Any thoughts?  Would going all cash help with title?
