Even that comes with headaches like drilling a well, testing it with your fingers crossed, dealing with waste, and paying for a new electric service.

Of course roles can cross but having complimentary skill sets is the best.

The parties hereby agree that the title company for the transaction will be ______.

I found this deal through a wholesaler that I have completed many transactions with in representing other buyers.

Transaction costs alone run in the $20k range for me buying a median home.

If you allow them to be a transaction broker and make both sides of the commission you will find them much more friendly and willing to do more work since they know they will be getting a bigger check at the end.4.

Dimitri - glad it worked out and  good luck with the transaction 

If you are working with someone you respect/like but didn’t quite get the terms you wanted, stick it out for a couple transactions regardless of other offers you might get.

Is there a good public source for transaction history?

Am I as the buyer able to sue the owner of closing company/person who conducted title search due to fraud/negligence or do I only have a breach of warranty case against the previous seller (who is a master of setting up and dissolving LLCs to conduct similar high risk deals - unknown when transaction began)?
