Does anybody work with a fractional* virtual assistant that is looking to add another client? Would love someone who is well-versed in real estate, Including lead generation activities such as mailers, fielding initial calls etc. TIA!

* Anybody else notice how other "part-time" roles like CFO and CMO are referred to as "fractional" when the people really running your business– the assistants! – are usually referred to as part-time or freelance or other?

I have heard Tony Robinson talk about how he sometimes gives the seller a few options to choose from - one with higher purchase price and seller financing ( just as example) one with lower purchase price with traditional financing etc. you might consider a couple options that would work for you and see which is most appealing to them. Also, it's helpful if you can find out more about their motivation for selling to understand  what type of offer would appeal. (If they just want the cash asap then seller financing would not work. ) Hope this helps and good luck!

Quote from @Chris Watkins:

Here are title cost numbers from my last deal in Lake Oswego ($625k sales price):

Title agent fee: $1100

Owner's title policy: $1425

Recording fee: $350

MERS: $25

There may be transfer taxes depending on what county the property is in, as well.

Hi there - NEWBIE here.... I am in early discussions with sellers about a seller finance deal near Portland, OR.  As I am considering my offer, I am trying to understand how much to budget for attorney, title/closing costs etc?  Appreciate if anyone can provide a rundown of costs to expect with this type of transaction? TIA!
