Hi All,

We are buying a 1 BR condo from the company that owns the entire building in 
downtown Baltimore primarily for investment purposes.  We are currently in 
Reno.
We are not taking a loan.  The property costs $225,000.
The company that owns the building has given us an estimate of closing costs 
prepared by an agent. Closing cost estimate $10,000.
Since, we are not taking a loan out, how should we go about closing such 
that our costs are minimized.

Thanks for all your suggestions.

Paddy.
