Hi Tax masters,I have a question about the county mortgage tax when purchasing a property.I'm quoting a mortgage from 3 lenders for a small multi-family in Bushwick/Ridgewood area (Brooklyn NY), and one of them estimated the county mortgage tax in their quote when the other 2 didn't.If anyone has some knowledges to share with this, I would appreciate it.

And in regard to rent they more or less guarantee that your mortgage is being paid.

The seller is going to give me a note above the amount I still owe on the mortgage.  

Double check with the lender, but here are a couple of options:1.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Thank you  You will need to get an attorney or potentially the title company could create the documents but they are typically created by the lender and their attorney. 

They are working on a refinance of a private loan I am the lender on and I am just looking to see if they are the real deal or not.

Lender gave me these terms.

NO reputable lender asks for funds upfront besides appraisal fee.Have heard MANY horror stories related to upfront fee lenders and it rarely ends well.

Moving forward we are exploring possibly combing households due to the large size of the property and the difficulty of upkeep but there are several questions/ issues that need to be addressed so it does not put either of us in a compromised position.When her husband died a friend paid off her mortgage due to it going into foreclosure ( 210k total).
