Buying a house!

[TexasWife25]

My best friend is looking to purchase her 1st house. We're trying to get an idea of the average amount of closing costs so she can factor it into her budget. I know there are lots of factors and its different for everyone, just curious what everyone spent, over the cost of the actual house, when everything is said and done

Negotiate with the sellers. You can always get them to pay the closing costs...

Figure $3000 give or take.

To adequately figure out closing costs, you'll need to give a lot more info than what you've provided.

If I could offer her any advice, it would be to not take your advice.

Tell her to get one that will serve her well in case of a zombie apocalypse.

Well when everything is said and done, cost of the house, fees, taxes, she doesnt want to go over 100,000

For some reason I don't think those two have what it takes to survive the real zombie apocalypse.

Sadly, my friends have made a pact, should the zombie apocalypse occur, they will kill me outright, because I am the one most likely to fuck everything up

Then she should look in the 90k range.

Is there some reason you and your friend don't ask the bank or maybe use the Goggle and instead choose to ask a porn board?

You have an issue with logic?
The smart person would ask the bank "Hey, what kind of closing costs am I looking at here?" or maybe they'd get on a computer and do some Googling. Possibly go to, oh, I don't know a mortgage site or something. Who knows they might even have a closing cost calculator. I know, the mind boggles.

$6,835.89 (us)

That's how much the Pinto he sleeps in cost him when he first bought it 20 years ago.

She wanted a number, I gave her one. I'm a giver.

Altruism is one of your many great attributes.

Oh, that's right you don't actually want real advice, you just want people to kiss your ass.
