New California Investor

Hi,
Im new to investing and I need help with contracts. I need to learn how to fill them out, which ones to use etc. Can someone refer me to a good source to learn or is someone willing to mentor me with contracts? Thanks and God bless.

    Right.
    IS the closing handled by a lawyer where you are or a title company?
    $5k is tough to reference without a purchase price.

    Most people will defer to the closing price and factor 3-4%.

    However, here are just some of what is added up.
    1. 1 year of insurance + 1 Q
    2. 4-6 months of state tax
    3. any broker fees
    4. apprasial (if not paid prior)
    5. several certificates (flood etc)
    6 title insurance

    to name a few - so you can see taxes and insurance play a significant factor in the closing costs - broker fees can add 1-2% of sale price.

    You can have the seller pay some of the closing cost if agreed upon in the contract.

    I know there is a good club in your area with a lot of investors. I would join that if I were you to get some information.
