Hi Laura,
Thank you for your question.
Your cousin could be bale to help you and perhaps save you some money too.
Most of the closing costs are associated with bank mortgage fees, title insurance and prepaid taxes and home insurance. These fees could be as high as 8 or 9 percent of the mortgage. Speak to your lender and ask for a closing cost estimate.
Buying and owning is a good thing. Do it if you can.

Expertise
I am able to answer questions related to buying or selling residential real estate in New York. There are many questions buyers and sellers have about the process of buying or selling a home that they are afraid to ask or that might seem too simple to ask. For instance: in a house, why do some doors open in and some doors open out?
