How it works

Sum of: Lender Fees (origination, application, processing, credit report) + Settlement Fees (title insurance, appraisal, survey, attorney) + Third-party Fees (inspection, HOA, recording) + Prepaid Expenses (taxes, insurance, prepaid interest, HOA) + Government Fees (transfer tax, recording). Typical total = 2-5% of loan amount.
