Pros & Cons of Lender paying for closing cost

[Randy Reyes]

So Im currently going through the contract for a property, and trying to weight the options of paying closing cost up front or having lender pay them for a higher interest rate %3.5 and $40 dollars more a month

With them paying closing cost if frees up $5,600 upfront for rehab cost, now if I don't plan on being in this home for the long term (live in flip) should I even be concerned about the %.5 added on the loan. Thanks!
