Note that costs may significantly differ because of accruals, but those are all estimates anyways, so I would only look at other costs (e.g. title search charge, point fees, etc.).

Search in the market for partners - by partners I mean a local Realtor and Property Manager, if not all in the same.

Just remember they're asking you to mess with your life at no risk to them.Stay the course you're on now - search hard before you close. 

Hello BiggerPockets family. I finally bought my first rental property in October of last year and was super excited, even had tenants in there by November. Its a first floor condo in Fayetteville, NC. Purchased at $38...

I found Biggerpockets when searching for RE podcasts and thought it was great. 

To me, their only use is a good quick look at solds and actives in your area for quick searches and some data on those houses (that is not guaranteed to be accurate, especially bed bath counts). 

@Sean Morrisey Did you google search your area’s 2017-2018 top commercial RE broker awards to find those with most sales.

Environmental companies can perform an assessment called and ESA or "Desktop Review" its a historical record search that ties into a number of databases that will know the history of that tank if their is one, who put it in, and if it is still deemed "hazardous or dangerous" to the public.My company is an environmental firm that handles these types of issues in the commercial and residential real estate industry.

The closing attorney probably needs to do a title search, title insurance, transfer of deed, taxes and prepare closing paperwork, etc. etc. ?  

Id first recommend finding out if you are searching for a title company or real estate attorney.Search these forums for wholesalers in the target area and ask for recommendations, search “we buy houses” in that area and go from there.
