| Advice.... I'm going to buy another house to rent out and have a few questions. I found one in Alexandria, VA. Short sale. Who pays what for closing costs? It's been a long time since I closed on a house, what are the costs and who pays them? Anything else I should know? TIA

| Buyer usually pays unless it specified otherwise. You'll also be liable for any back taxes, HOA fees etc

If the lender knows it is an investment property and you plan to rent it out, you'll probably be required to put more money down on the property. Typically it is at least 20% (in Maryland at least) give or take. Know the rules for rental property where the home will be located. Some HOAs do not allow this. We have rental property so if you're interested, I can send you all the forms and such I use. Be sure to do credit, background, reference and employment checks -- I cannot stress this enough!!

| Here's a link to the HUD-1 Form which is used in every house purchase in the U.S. It breaks everything down. Keep in mind that there is no set rule on who pays what. That is determined by what is negotiated and specified in the contract. http://www.hud.gov/offices/adm/hudcl...ms/files/1.pdf

| Thanks for the advice. Since it is a short sale, I'm negotiating with a bank who holds the note. There is no HOA. I have plenty of cash for the down payment. I know the renter personally, a dear friend who if they defaulted, I would just make the payment since I ultimately own the house. The location dictates that it will GREATLY go up in value due to BRAC. Win/win for me.

Hmmm, are you claiming some special insight into what future BRACs might hold?
