Closing costs:
Every transaction typically has fees associated with it that are known as closing costs. Buyers pay for closing costs unless negotiated otherwise. These fees go to pay the bank, the title company, and/or other companies who do work in order to make this transaction happen. Closing costs generally run about 3% of the sales price. For example, a $150,000 house would have $4,500 in closing costs. Only if necessary:
Are you capable of paying closing costs?
Yes
No
Down Payment:
Loans require commitment from the buyer in order to be made. A bank wouldn’t want to commit their money to someone who was not committed as well. This commitment takes the form of money and is called a down payment. This financial commitment from the buyer, is determined by a percentage of the sales price. Generally the down payment is 20% of the sales price, however some banks may only require 5%, 10%, 15%, etc. How much would you be able to invest in the form of a down payment?
