My offer was accepted on a duplex but I am not understanding how my mortgage lender ended up with the loan amount. Here are the figures. If there is other info you need, please let me know.

- Sale price 

90,100 (The seller's bottom asking price is 85,900. They agreed to pay my closing costs by adding it to the price so I don't have to pay it our of pocket and they still get their bottom asking price)

- Due Diligence

200

- Earnest Money

200

- Home Warranty

500

I just got my loan estimate amount from my lender which is 88,467. I am just trying to figure out how I end up paying more than the seller's bottom line asking price if they are paying closing and the DD money goes towards the loan (or where ever if I close this property). Yes, this is my first property and first time home ownership and I do not understand how they calculate these things but what am I missing? What other info do you need to check these numbers.

It sounds like your closing cost are going on top of the price. 2500 and change seems about right for that. It depends on how it was negotiated to be honest. I suspect you have negotiated their bottom price plus closing cost instead of a total price minus closing cost if that makes sense.
