Buying a new home and closing costs?
My husband and I were approved for a loan of 5.5% interest rate for a new house to be built by a local contractor, who is known for good starter homes. We received a good estimate of the faith today and wonder if there is something to what we could do our part to reduce our monthly mortgage payments. IE: What are the costs included in the good faith estimate may be waived or traded by the lender or builder? And in this case since this is not a person selling for us, but rather a residential construction company that is responsible for closing costs? Any help appreciated, we hope to close in the very near future. Similarly, how does an FHA loan? We have several people to ask for one. The lender said The GFE has been given a loan from the FHA, but how can you say? I see nothing about this on the GFE.
Hey, I am a loan broker mortgage, too, but I will not try to sell you a mortgage. However, I will do my best to make sure you know what you do. All costs on the GFE are necessary. If you look, there should be a detailed list of who is that getting paid on the loan. The only two that can be negotiated would be the departure tax and brokerage fees, however, in doing so, you fly your loan officer's paycheck. You are responsible for closing costs, your house and nobody works for free. On the GFE. should be a box checked that says it is a conventional loan or FHA, so it should have a box checked on the first page of your formal loan application indicating what type of program your lender uses. FHA loans are partly funded by the government, they are also regulated by the gov't. the only real difference is you may have a higher percentage of the value given to you, you have to pay an insurance premium paid for mortgage the duration of the loan, and they will need to escrow your taxes and insurance.
