Prepare to close

Fictional practice: Check that the money adds up and fix last-minute problems.

• Simple closing statement: $65,000 down + $8,000 closing costs you pay as the buyer.
• The $5,000 deposit you already paid is credited once. This made-up statement has no other credits or fees already paid.
• The $22,000 for repairs and $15,000 in savings stay outside the closing.

Confirm the local steps for closing, recording, getting the keys and paying. Fix any mismatch before you sign or send money.
