Where are the closing costs?


Where do closing costs come in? For example (according to how the show is presented):

550,000 max budget
500,000 winning bid on house
50,000 remodel budget

Closing costs would be between 2-5 percent, I would think. That's another 10-25k that would eat into the remodel. Unless seller is paying closing, which I doubt since they are paying the selling fee, where is this money factored in?

The party that customarily pays the closing costs varies by area.

The show may take place in an area where is customary for the seller to pay the closing costs.

Also, homes are rarely sold without a negotiation.
