    usually the buyer, but if you put in the contract for the seller to pay closing cost and they except then the seller pays it. If the decline then you the buyer will have to pay for it. I would put it in the contract for the seller to pay for it. and go from there. thats what I usually do.

    I agree with goodloe, as you are selling the contract, having a percentage coming back from the seller or covering closing costs makes it more attractive to wholesale.

    Can you make the seller pay half and my buyer pay half closing cost?

    I reccomend reading Herbert Cohens "You can negotiate anything"
