The total from the buyer was 5481.62 in various fees and prepaids.

@Brandon G.Closing Costs typically consist of an escrow fee, pro-rated taxes, pro-rated utilities, pre-paid HOA (if applicable), pre-paid insurance, buyer's title policy, lender's title policy, recording fees, attorney fees (if any), and any loan costs.

I have heard landlords getting the "Prepaid Legal" policies to cover them for tenant issues like this.  

We book it as a prepaid service and hold the monies in an escrow account.  

Would it be acceptable to ask for seller to pay for all or even just a portion of closing costs/prepaids?

Nowhere is it found on anything that says pre-paid interest.

However, any consideration which is not reasonably attributable to the granting of the option, such as consideration payable by the recipient of the option for the use or right to use the property until the option is exercised (whether pre-paid or by periodic payments), would not be consideration for the granting of the option and, therefore, would not relate to the "sale" of the equitable interest, but rather the right to use the property.

Is that for all the prepaids?  

At lease signing, the binder is treated as pre-paid RENT and has nothing to do with a deposit.

Because I want to pick a system and be done, I am not back into shopping mode because I dont want to use whats left of my prepaid year with buildium only to have everything worked out and switch next year.If I lose my prepaid year, so be it.
