FHA Closing Costs
FHA Closes In On Loan Costs
Closing in on your FHA mortgage approval, you will need to consider the cost of closing. Closing costs (fees associated with the legal transfer
of property ownership) are usually about 2 to 3 percent of the cost of your home. To qualify for an FHA
mortgage you need to have cash available to cover closing costs.

Now is the time for an
FHA HOME LOAN
|
With an FHA mortgage, you may find added financial support for your closing costs. While closing costs for
FHA mortgages and non-FHA mortgages include the same line items - homeowner's insurance, attorney fees, Private
Mortgage Insurance, loan origination fees, an FHA Fund fee, and more - with your FHA mortgage you may find that you
can include your closing costs in your FHA mortgage.
That means your FHA mortgage program may offer the added benefit of no out of pocket closing costs for you.
Typical closing costs includes:
- Actual cost of credit reports
- Lender's origination fee
- Deposit verification fees
- Home inspection service fees up to $200
- Cost of title examination and title insurance
- Document preparation (by a third party not controlled by the lender)
- Property survey
- Attorney's fees
- Recording fees, transfer stamps and taxes
- Test and certification fees, water tests, etc.
Additionally you may have courier fees, wire transfer fees, fees to payoff bills, and reconveyance fees.
FHA Fine Points
FHA mortgages, like conventional mortgages, may also require you to pay points to your FHA lender.
Each point equals 1 percent of the home's cost. Points associated with your FHA mortgage can be paid by
the seller or they can be folded into your FHA mortgage.
The FHA protects you by clearly defining the allowable closing costs that may be charged to the borrower.
These costs are determined as reasonable and customary by each local FHA office.
Any other costs in the closing transaction are considered non-allowable and generally paid by the seller
when purchasing a new home or by the lender when refinancing your current FHA mortgage.
