"Closing
Costs" The
term many Borrowers and Realtors simply don't understand!
Contrary to popular belief, closing costs are
not specific to a particular transaction. No matter what type
of transaction, most closing costs are going to be of similar
nature and will, in fact, be charged no matter what form
they take. At Brentwood Mortgage Services, we like to inform the
borrower at inception of ALL possible costs of any loan. Many
banks and other mortgage companies like to roll these
costs into higher interest rates and tell their customers
"NO CLOSING COSTS". It simply doesn't work that way.
All the following costs will be paid by the borrower in some way.
Local, County and State taxes are formulas, based on the sales price
or loan amount. The same is true of title charges. Whether in
the form of higher rates or as a closing cost, borrowers may be assured
they will be paying these costs. We like to have happy customers
at the closing table and generally, with our Good Faith Estimates on
the conservative side, they are happy. The following is a very
comprehensive list of standard closing costs, approximate fees and formulas
which you can use against sales price and loan amounts to arrive at
a very "accurate" closing cost estimate. Please print this page
and make a few copies for future use.

insurance reserves This is the reserve required by the lender for the mortgage insurance. The mortgage insurance rates are as follows:
|
$_________ | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

insurance reserves Take the actual annual premium for homeowners insurance, divide by 12 and multiply by 3. The lender will generally require 3 months of insurance reserves. |
$_________ | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Property
tax reserves Take the actual annual tax bill, divide by 12 and multiply by 3. The lender will generally require 3 months of property tax reserves. The borrower will be required to pay taxes up through the closing date, but this will be offset by the amount paid by the seller. 3 months is generally the out-of-pocket cost paid by the borrower for a purchase...for a refinance the borrower may be responsible for up to 13 months of taxes. |
