WHO PAYS FOR CLOSING?

[Lamarcus Stephenson]

So, I have an 11 unit Apartment Building with all occupied units under contract. Today, I'm assigning the contract over to the BUYER, but he's suggesting on signing, getting it notarized and then sent back to me. Is this his way of saying he's not paying for closing cost & fees....or do I pay for closing? Answers please? Also, I've already signed and notarized all documents on my end.

The answer to who pays closing costs should already be in the purchase contract. 

Not sure why the end buyer sending the signed contract back to you would be taken as a sign that he's not going to pay the closing costs if the contract says he's supposed to.  Have you asked him why he sent it to you?  What did you tell him to do with the contract once he signed it?  Maybe he just sent it to you so you can deliver it to whoever will be handling the closing/escrow on the deal. 

Too many unknowns for us to answer the question. Bottom line, read your contract and - if you still have questions - talk to your buyer.
