The Closing
There can’t possibly be any more closing fees, can there?
The unhappy answer is, yes there can. Other common fees include:
- loan origination fee to cover the lender's administrative costs in processing the loan;
- credit report fee;
- lender's appraisal fee;
- mortgage insurance application fee;
- mortgage insurance premium; and
- hazard insurance premium.
Buyers also may have to put money into escrow to assure future payment of such recurring items as real estate taxes. Also, there often are separate document fees that cover the preparation of final legal papers such as the promissory note and mortgage or deed of trust.
