Can you tell it’s winter time? What are these docs from? HUD-1? Good Faith Estimate? If it’s from your HUD-1, call your lawyer with questions. If it’s from a good faith estimate, call whoever it is that is handling your loan paperwork. They can go over it with you. ---

Shouldnt your real estate agent be explaining all this to you, not NYspeed? Closing costs usually amount to approximately 10% of the purchase price, which in your case is not far off at all. ---

Usually you get a good faith estimate to help you understand what your getting into. ---

> [@POOPRA](#): > > Usually you get a good faith estimate to help you understand what your getting into. yeah, that comes from whoever it is that handling your mortgage… If you got one (or if this is it), it should be pretty pretty close to these numbers, and you should call them for an explanation. ---

Now on topic - I just purchased a double in kenmore - not at the amount you have. - I had to pay everything up front for the first year because all of that is back track because the bank will be making my payments. It sucks you owe all that money but hopefully you have a good investment property that you can look past the up front costs and concentrate on the long term investment. I am planning on living in my double for 5 years and then use it is an investment property when I buy my second house. Good luck!! BTW: is it an apartment complex, nice double, business lot, etc? ---

something else just hit me – you can’t use an FHA loan on an investment property. ---

Now who’s a fucking idiot. holding a license has nothing to do with it. so you can pass a test and get bonded? woo hoo. you have no idea what I do for a living, I have read more than a few articles about insurance, thanks. Granted I dont work in the insurance department and there are things I dont know, I know enough to argue with you all day long. ---

I wish my taxes we’re that low!** > > WTF is hazard insurance and why is it $150 a month? ($1,800) - **sounds about right since its a multi unit. Hazard insuarance is your typical home owners insurance. though you should shop around. Travelers was the cheapest for me.** > > My FHA mortgage premium is $3377 - **I’m surprised your being allowed to get an fha since its a multi unit. but thats your mortgage payment insurance. it’s 1.5% of the purchase price. you can either pay it up front or pay it over the first 5 years of your loan. It bassically covers the bank if you default.** > > $29 a day for 30 days? (~$870) **sounds like title insurance. Which if it is Title Insurance you may want to talk to your lawyer about it and ask why he felt it nessessary to be acquired. Unless there’s some risk involved with the purchase it generally isn’t needed.** **When do you close?** > > Thats just some of the bigger items. > > And this is a 200k rental property. > > Can anyone break this down for me in english Side note. Real estate agents won’t be able to help with this stuff. Your Mortgage broker and Lawyer should be the ones helping you out with this stuff though. Hope this helps. ---
