So for those that have done this do you calculate "profit" as the difference from your original cost + the new seller fees and the selling price?
In other words assume

Original asking price $200,000 and sold for $200,000
Your Buyers closing cost $10,000
Actual cost to buyer was $210,000

Now when selling, do you use the $210,000 as the original price/cost?

Then when you sell at a list price of $250,000 and then pay the your sellers closing costs of $15,000, you actually get $235,000 cash so you get a $25,000 profit. Or do you count the $10,000 of the original buyer's cost in the equation at all?
