You most likely will have title costs, possibly attorney costs if in an attorney state, tax adjustments (costs or credits) water/heating fuel adjustments, some states have transfer fees, any lending costs if you have a loan, and I'm sure there are costs I'm missing.

Not sure how old the home is but you definitely want to check out the roof, electrical, water heater, heating and air conditioning and plumbing at the very least.

I have an idea...and maybe a CPA or some other knowledgeable tax expert can help on this......so here's my idea:I want to start paying all our regular ongoing bills and utilities with money straight from the LLC rental income....cell phones (we use our phones for mostly work anyway), electric bill, internet, water, etc etc....I'm thinking of making a lease where my business rents the home office space from me and my wife, and the rent is roughly equal to the utility payments, or just have that on the lease..."

It has water and electricity.

The Columbus market has been crazy and I know a large number of OOS investors are testing the waters, so just make sure you are ready to move or you will find your calls go unreturned as A players don’t have the time.

Its really exciting because this enables us to get another water front property!

There are additional fees you may not be aware of such as school fees or water line from the city meter having to be upgraded for fire sprinklers, etc. 

Rinse out the mop in a 5 gallon bucket of water.

Ten days before closing, our water heater leaked in the attic and our buyer bailed.
