bring this to you because Northport is just a booming real estate Market and we are going to have a lot More episodes on Northport in general Because I think it is the next Real Estate boom in the entire us it has been Voted in the top 10 fastest growing Cities in the entire United States for The past year and a half now so Northport has a lot of potential Especially with the master plan Community well in park moving into the Area that's going to be bringing over 60,000 residents into that general area So there's a lot of room for opportunity And growth in Northport plus land prices Are very cheap in Northport being Anywhere from you know $18,000 to $30,000 for a piece of land a quarter Acre lot to build a custom house on so Let's first start talking about the Closing cost with buying a piece of land So for this example I am going to be Referring it to one of our recent Closing cost sheets from uh buyer that We help to buy a piece of land that we Are going to build a house on for them Let's start with the purchase price of $24,000 so we have a purchase price of $24,000 um for the piece of land so the First the first cost associated with This is going to be the County taxes That are left over so how we operate Here in Northport and Southwest Florida In general is that the new buyer is Going to be paying for the remaining Taxes of the year after they take Possession in our case it's $50 so taxes For a quarter acre size lot annually are Between $300 to $500 just depending on The exact location that's the annual Taxes for a quarter piece quarter acre Piece of land so 50 bucks for taxes and Then we have the government recording Charges which is a very small fee of About $18.50 we'll just round it up to $19 for Easy math and then the next one is going To be our uh title charges so this is Where probably the majority of all the Costs come by is through the uh title Charges and the first one is going to be The owner's title insurance which is you Know nearly every title company is going To you know require you to buy title Insurance on the property this property For instance was $138 it's based off of The purchase price of the land of$ 24,000 so we have $138 there then we Have our settlement fee from our title Company which I use a variety of Different title companies for different Situations so I have this one title Company that I use um for Southwest Florida because they have a fairly you Know reasonable settlement fee um it's Probably one of the lowest I have seen Being a $295 per transaction and I think that's A great deal because a lot of title Companies charge about $900 per Transaction so I use these guys for Probably 30 plus land transactions Within the past few months so I would Highly recommend them they are called Sun Coast one title um so I would Recommend them because Amanda is Absolutely amazing on that so we have That and then we also have the E-recording fee which is a small fee of About five bucks and then we also are Going to be pulling um a full entire Search on the property for title Insurance and that costs about $60 and Then you last charge is going to be a Municipal lean search um it's most Likely going to be from prop logixs and That is going to be about $115 and what That Municipal lean search does is that It checks for any leans that are on the Vacant lot is there any unpaid taxes if So what's the amount uh it just talks About the details if they City Water Connected all that good stuff that you Really should know um before you buy the Land right that in total is about $600 um for everything right all Included it's about $600 all in um for Closing cost for a $24,000 um piece of property in the Northport area once again these closing Costs will vary somewhat um just Depending on the location but Realistically that's just because of the Taxes that are going to change all the Like the title charges charges and Everything are going to be relatively The same because it's pretty um uniform All across the board as well um but yeah That kind of that sums up the closing Cost but there are some other costs Associated with vacant L such as doing An environmental report on there an Environmental assessment to check for Any goer touristes Scrub Jays Environmental threats that are going to Cause an issue when it comes to building A custom house and being custom Builders Or being partnered in a development Company where my Builder does build Custom houses um and we help other Investors build houses as well as well We find it very important that Environmental assessments are done on The property but we can get into that on Another episode and we will get into That on another episode with all the Environmental threats that you know Occur when you are going to be buying a Vacant piece of land so be sure to keep An eye out for that episode as we will Be posting that very soon but that kind Of wraps up the overall total and the Overall sum of you know closing costs For
