A good rule of thumb to calculate estimate of closing costs is use 6% of the sales price. So for a 130K property the estimated closing costs will be $7800.
Other fees included are your bank fees and if in your area you have transfer tax.
Depending if you plan on escrowing your taxes, you will have pre-paids to pay at closing. Pre-paids are monies collected at closing for your taxes and insurance. They are required to have money available for when taxes and insurance are due.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
