There is a documentary about it that I have yet to see.  

Amount of Doc Stamps: $____________________________ Are you paying no documentary stamp tax or only minimum documentary stamp tax?

We were recently filmed for a forthcoming tv documentary on shared housing and how it works.

It was actually shown in quite a few documentaries. 

I’ve done it all, read financial books, read real estate books, viewed real estate agent documentary’s, learned what it takes to become a real estate agent, but I’m missing one thing.

Have not seen the HBO special yet, but from the sounds of it, reminds me of a documentary I saw on Goldman Sachs.

Or, the selling price may be low enough and even under the appraised price so that the lender ends up covering all closing costs.They may even cover the down payment if the price is right.Your share of closing costs.This can include things such as points to the lender, documentary stamps, recording fees, appraisal fees, survey costs, prorated taxes, insurance, and part of the next house payment.Often many of these fees are negotiable between the buyer and seller.Remember: There is no such thing as a “customary” fee that you alone are responsible for.Everything in a real estate deal is negotiable.Whatever you and the other party agree to, or do not agree to, is entirely up to the two of you.I have personally acquired homes where I agreed to cover closing costs because of a very low purchase price, or I have negotiated closing costs that I knew my buyer would cover.
