Stupid Question

[Max M.]

Let's say someone FSBO's a house and I buy it from them, all cash, for $300,000. What would it probably cost to actually close the deal?

Likely very location dependent... do you need a lawyer?  Are you going to do an inspection?  You'll be a few hundred dollars for the title work and there will likely be some transfer type fees to worry about.  Should be less than $1,000 total I would expect, unless lawyers get involved!
