Buying & Selling Transaction Costs Detailed

Fellow BP Investors,

I'm trying lock down accurate numbers on the buy / selling transaction costs associated on a flip.  I would love some advice / knowledge on the following costs:

  • Buying
    • Escrow = 
    • Attorney = 
    • Title Insurance Search Costs =
    • Miscellaneous =
  • Selling
    • Escrow =
    • Attorney =
    • Recording Fee =
    • Realtor Fee = 5-6%
    • Transfer & Conveyance Fees =
    • Home Warranty =
    • Miscellaneous =

Many thanks!  This is my first post and I'm thoroughly enjoying my journey over the past 3 months.  The interest is high and despite the many hours and dollars spent to date, it has been worth it!

Cheers,

Rob

@Rob Barelli, we use 1st American Title Closing Calculator to estimate our costs.  It covers all 50 states.

    @Rob Barelli Hi from the peninsula! In CA we don't use attorneys for transactions so you can scratch  them off your list. Transfer taxes vary by county/area in terms of who pays what percentage of them, the buyer and/or the seller, so an agent in Santa Clara county could tell you what is usual there.

    Thanks!  I'll definitely contact a realtor on the specifics.  Any other thoughts, posts are more than welcome...
