Some hard work and headache pays off in the end. Good job at doing your homework.
We have much different circumstances, but I'm going to closing Friday on a beach front property I just sold. With some work I had the buyer pay all settlement/closing cost, most of last years property taxes, 50% of stamps, and the state/county transfer taxes. I'll be paying $600 bucks total to close. People were telling me it was going to cost me thousands. Pfft!
Can't wait till Friday to get my wire!
