Brokerage fee can kill you also.

Any fees paid prior to closing?

However I feel if I'm going to pay someone to tell me who to talk to or what to do and pay additional fees on top of whatever I'm paying, I might as well just talk to the pro from the get go.

The most common difference is that the state will impose some tax or fee on pass-through entities where the federal government does not.Many business organizations are required to have the same fiscal year as their owner(s) have or to basically have a deposit with the IRS to compensate for timing differences.https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-se...https://www.sba.gov/business-guide/launch/choose-b...

If the market conditions allow it.Of course, best is owner financing since it costs less in fees than other avenues and all the terms are negotiable. 

I would suggest you have your attorney draft a real estate contract with the purchase price and terms (conditions including inspection, how attorney fees will be split, etc). 

Or you can always get into the property tax services. 16% interest and fee's here in Ky.

Aside from permits, real estate fees, commissions, taxes, etc.

I would have the goal of outsourcing it once you've got some traction but things like list fees and shipping can destroy that budget. 

I don't pay any fees for my own deals but understand some agents do.
