Home Loans Closing Costs
Contrary to what many believe, the closing costs presented to home buyers are estimates. For this reason it wise to assume that the closing costs could actually be slightly higher than the quote a mortgage broker gives you. Lenders are required by law to provide what is called a Good Faith Estimate detailing the expected costs associated with closing the loan. You should look over these figures carefully and compare them to those of competing lenders. Keep in mind, lenders are not required to list every expense that may be incurred in acquiring the loan.
The type of loan chosen will depend on the amount of the home, the credit history of the borrower, and the income of the borrower.
For example a potential homeowner with good credit but a low income would be well matched with a fixed rate FHA insured loan. This would allow a low income buyer to take advantage of relaxed qualification criteria, low interest rates and little to no down payment. If the same buyer were to apply for a conventional loan a loan that is not federally insured he or she would be faced with high interest rates and a large down payment to make up for a lack of income.
