Another Way To Have Someone Else Pay Your Closing Costs…

Good Morning!

I get asked this question a lot by clients who are buying houses…

…”Can we just roll closing costs into the loan?”

The short answer… No.

You can do it with no problem on a refinance, but not a purchase loan.

…but there is an indirect way to do it on a purchase loan.

The best way to roll closing costs into your purchase – is to ask the sellers to pay your closing costs. …the way you do this is to make it part of your contract offer.  (This might be more difficult in a seller’s market)

…they will either say “yes” or “no” to your request for them to pay closing costs. …so, right here you have a 50/50 shot at it.

If they say “no” – it’s still not over. …you can just offer to add the closing costs to the price of the home (as long as it will appraise) – and then ask the sellers to pay them. …often they will say “yes” to this.

Good luck house hunting!

That’s it for today!

Have a good day! …and thanks for reading.
