Closing Issues on First Duplex
Hi All,
I'm currently under contract on my first Duplex using a 203k to handle some renovations / improvements and have a few questions re: closing costs that I was hoping the community could help answer:
PP: $62k
Reno: $27.5k
All-in: $90k
I'm only putting the minimum 3.5% down which would be $3,150. I thought everything was moving along fine, but when I received the initial closing disclosure the total Cash to Close was $11k before subtracting for the EMD and Appraisal.
The issue is; I feel that the Cash to Close is much higher than what I expected.
Down Payment: $3,150
Initial Escrow payment: ~$2k
That leaves roughly $6k in additional costs and fee's on a $90k loan. Does this sound right, or is the lender being sleazy?
Thanks for any advice!
