6. Questions We May Discuss During the Process
How much are closing costs?
Can I get a better deal with a foreclosure or a short sale? And what does short sale actually mean, anyways?
I’d rather set up my own search on my favorite websites. Can I just send you homes I find?
Can I celebrate buying a new home and go spend $$ on a new TV, a couch and a washer/Dryer
What should I watch out for if I buy an older home?
What if I buy new construction?
