In my state they do allow payment plans, but I think once you default on a payment plan you aren't permitted to enter into another payment plan.

But it also depends on how organized you are, if you bring detailed records to your CPA and they can your taxes, account for any depreciation, possible deductions easily then it might be cheaper.If you bring a shoebox of receipts and little to no records and want the CPA to be your bookeeper maybe they aren’t charging you enough.ThanksLuke

My experience with title companies is that you typically get good service if you are closing at their office, if you close elsewhere with a notary they aren't allowed to answer any questions about the docs, etc...
