Cash required for closing?

Scott, I’m sorry for this shit dicking up your thread… Some people will just argue until they feel they’ve won, even when they’re wrong.:deadhorse:

So why do we let women on this forum?

Cause somebody has to get the facts straight…

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.

real estate agents are useless with this crap, in my experiences

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.

zing!

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.

He will be living in the house, but renting out two of the three floors.

you made it sound like hazard insurance is ONLY forced placed. which it isnt

um?:

kthx

whats price have to do with if it is escrowed or not? cmon. wtf.

sorry, it was 430 in the morning and i kept finding inconsistencies in what you were attempting to say, so I kept going back and changing what I wrote.

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 went SONYMA which gave my the 5% interest rate.

congratulations?

you got charged ugly face tax

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.

Just saying that he might not be going FHA since there are more than one mortgage plan.

You silly goose!

In Manks defense, the OP doesnt exactly know whats going on here, he may be wrong…
