Ideally I'm targeting B to C duplexes/triplexes with minimal to light rehab (since this will be a first for me).

Hi -If I'm running numbers for a cash purchase, what costs do I need to factor in for "closing." 

What factors come into play?

If you're considering a mentor I would try to not think about how much money they charge, do pros and cons of a few that you like (excluding $ amount), pick your favorite based on the value they bring, then factor in the money.

Perhaps that was because it was under the same insurance company, a rather important distinction that should be highlighted if that was the differentiating factor.  

For me, the deciding factor that made me just take action was hearing how many experienced investors still make mistakes in REI.

So 99% of the time, an attorney watching for contingency dates would not allow a contingency to be blown, putting your earnest money at stake (ideally). 

I deal with more protection for my business since I'm a contractor but this seems a bit overkill.Carrier: ScottsdaleSix-Month Premium: $1179.5625% minimum earned premiumCoverages & Limits:Commercial Property: $125,000 Building Limit – Special Form excluding theft; $2,500 deductible; Replacement Cost Coverage; 80% CoinsuranceCommercial General Liability:$1,000,000 each occurrence; $2,000,000 aggregate limitProducts-Completed Operations Excluded; Designated Premises/Project Limitation included.Conditions: All subs must carry equal or greater limits of liability naming insured as Additional Insured, hold harmless contract in favor of insured, with Certificates of Insurance.Thank you in advance for your consideration.

You can send 25 letters weekly to the same sellers so they will constantly hear from you for maybe $55 factoring in the cost of paper and envelopes.I hope this helps.

So be sure to factor in all of the costs associated with the property.
