After my contract on my unknown house have be excepted. What is the subsequent step? Insurance? Appraisal? Inspection?

WE are not using an agent, it is a for sale by owner...
Your best bet is to hire a real estate attorney to guide you through the process and clear sure you don't get yourself into a big mess. It will cost a few hundred, but could save you thousands and lots of grief!

Then you'll requirement to apply for a loan. The bank will order the appraisal. You'll want to hire your own inspector - the attorney can brand a recommendation. Once you have be chosen your loan and have enough info on the house you can appointment and get rates for the homeowners insurance. Some companies will require all the money up front, others will tolerate it get paid at closing. You lately need to ask.

There are tons of details, but you'll get through it.

Seriously, hire the advocate!

Best of luck!

If you are not going to use an agent then do the following surrounded by this exact order:

1. Hire an attorney experienced in indisputable estate;
2. Have a home inspection completed by an experienced and qualified inspector (don't hire the cheapest one, hire the best!);
3. Assuming inspection in 2. was satifactory wish insurance;
4. Close deal

A market appraisal isn't really mandatory. A replacement cost appraisal is only necessary if the home is exotic or is really elevated value ($2 million+).
"> If you have no experience, you really should own hired an attorney to help you with the contract, to trade name sure you had any contingencies to get you out of it if something didn't arise as planned. Some examples are if you cannot secure financing or interest rate below a limit, and how to bar issues that might come up in a home inspection. Otherwise, if you back out, you lose your deposit (and within rare cases could be sued).

The next step would be to arrange financing if needed, and find out what the lender requires for homeowner's insurance (which you would involve at closing). The lender will handle the appraisal (to protect themselves). You would make your own arrangements for inspection.

Who will bar the closing? You should at least hire your own attorney for that to make sure everything is done right and stamp out future surprises. Once when I bought land, I did not find out until 12 years latter that the easement was not what I thought it was and be about to be blocked.
