Especially when it comes to older apartments, it is important to inquire about assessments, fixtures, appliances, floors and ceilings, and so on. Regardless, you should know the general statistics on the local area and what a similar place might go for. Remember, you have no ground to negotiate if you are uninformed on the deal.

Closing costs, among others are the most neglected fees when it comes to purchasing real estate. Sometimes you can negotiate or ask the seller to cover the closing costs for you. Spending a little on home warranty is a good idea as well as making sure the property is thoroughly inspected. This will help you figure out the rest of your costs.

If you don’t have boatloads of cash laying around, you are most likely interested in furnishing and other household items. Often times sellers are willing to provide these things on their end. And of course, you can always negotiate the house price itself or mortgage loan points.
