Closing Costs & Finding a Title Company

[Christopher Lucas]

Hi Everyone,

When putting the numbers together for a buyer, do I just put 5% of the purchase price in the closing costs as a "worst case scenario" kind of thing or is there a way to accurately calculate that?

Also, as I would find my buyer first before finding the deal and working the numbers, do I do the same for a title company or can do I look for one after the initial and assignment contracts are signed?
