I start with a thorough analysis of the financial projections for each deal, then calculate costs, value, risk, and local market and closed deal data.

The costs you will face when buying real estate in California. Let’s take the example of a $1 million dollar home:

If you take a house in mortgage, your down payment will vary from 4.5% to 30%, depending on what taxes you have shown in America, whether you are a “first time home buyer” (first time home buyer – 4.5%) or you make a purchase being a citizen of another country (mortgage for foreigners) – about 30%. The standard down payment is 20% of the value of the house – in our case $200k.

Inspections that you carry out in the house: general home inspector – $400-$500 per inspection, he in turn advises which inspections should be carried out in more detail: inspection of electrical wiring, inspection for mold, inspection for termites, inspection of the roof, inspection of the central air conditioning system. Each specialized one will cost about $300-$400. The older the building, the more problems it may have, the more inspections you need to do.

Mandatory real estate appraisal (appraisal) to get a mortgage – $900-$1100

Title Company – real estate registration is approximately $1700-$2000. This amount includes title lender’s insurance, in case of any lawsuits, they will not affect you. And also you immediately pay taxes on the house for the next quarter – about $4000.

Home insurance – about $1000 – 1200 a year. You have to pay it right away.

Escrow is an independent company that the buy/sell transaction goes through, the cost is paid in half to the seller. Buyer will pay about $2500 for escrow + notarized signatures – about $250.

Closing costs – the amount you pay to the lender to close the deal – for the mortgage. This amount varies and will be about 1-2% of the transaction amount. In our case, $10,000. You do not pay closing costs if you buy the property without a mortgage. Also you do not pay this amount if you go for FHA program (2 years of good taxes, 2 years of credit history).

You don’t pay realtor fees when you buy, the seller of the house does.

The first questions to ask when looking at real estate in America:

If it is a apartment/townhouse:

What is the HOA fee (monthly payment to the homeowners organization) and what does it cover?

How much do they have in reserves?

How many parking spaces come with the condo?

Are there any assessments (landlord’s debts for any repairs that have been made to the building)?

Is this a normal purchase contract? Or does the seller need a leaseback on the same premises? Is the sale contingent on him finding a new property?

Does the garage have extra storage space?

Does the house have common areas (pool, spa, office)?

If it is aprivate home:

Is everything built on the lot with permits (garage, guest house, pool, all bedrooms)?

When was the last time the seller made any updates to the home?

How old is the roof? (If the roof needs to be replaced – this could cost around 30K – 50K)

What is the zoning of this property? (LAR1, LAR1,5, ets) The zoning of the lot means how many units with a separate address you can add to the main house.
