Help making sense of estimate
Hello,
A few months ago I wrote about how I was done procrastinating and ready to get in the game. Since then I have been viewing properties and today I saw one that I thing the numbers might make sense and I am ready to make an offer. I asked a lender to run an estimate for me and I was shocked at the amount of fees that I need to pay. Obviously I am a newbie in the game and I do have that newbie skepticism and always feel like I am being ripped off ( has happened many times before). Is accurate ( please see below). Is there some that I can remove or put into the monthly payment or get some kind of seller concession for? Please help me make sense of it.
The property is 450K. I am putting 20 % down ( 90K) but I see there is about 27K in fees and closing cost. Also interest rate has gone slightly down but I am getting an 8.8 % interest rate with credit score of 734.
