First Time Lending Options & Handling Closing Costs - Long Island
My wife and I are looking to purchase our first duplex / house hack in Patchogue, NY.
I found a local lender who offered a pretty interesting product (at least from the standard stuff I've seen)
First Time Home Owners
Only 5% Down
NO PMI
3.75% Interest
Income Limits Waived for the Area we are Looking
Property we are looking at is asking $399k but we believe $350 is much more fair. We are willing to meet somewhere in between. The lender told me for about a sal price of $360k, expect closing costs to be around $17k.
Does anyone know about typical closing costs in the Suffolk Long Island area? I feel like that is a little high for a small duplex, at $360k. Am I totally mistaken?
