    December 22, 2017 By Chris Hamler

    Aside from the down payment, one of the biggest costs of purchasing a home is the cumulative of fees and charges that need to be paid at closing.

    Typically, mortgage closing costs sum up to around 2 to 6 percent of the purchase price of the home. What makes up these costs is dependent on the lender and the type of mortgage.

    IMPORTANT MORTGAGE DISCLOSURES:

    When inquiring about a mortgage on this site, this is not a mortgage application. Upon the completion of your inquiry, we will work hard to match you with a lender who may assist you with a mortgage application and provide mortgage product eligibility requirements for your individual situation.

    Any mortgage product that a lender may offer you will carry fees or costs including closing costs, origination points, and/or refinancing fees. In many instances, fees or costs can amount to several thousand dollars and can be due upon the origination of the mortgage credit product.

    When applying for a mortgage credit product, lenders will commonly require you to provide a valid social security number and submit to a credit check . Consumers who do not have the minimum acceptable credit required by the lender are unlikely to be approved for mortgage refinancing.

    Minimum credit ratings may vary according to lender and mortgage product. In the event that you do not qualify for a credit rating based on the required minimum credit rating, a lender may or may not introduce you to a credit counseling service or credit improvement company who may or may not be able to assist you with improving your credit for a fee.
