I'm questioning my closing Costs with the bank
Hi BP family
I'm getting ready to close on my first income property with Wells Fargo. Closing cost are $2792. Wells Fargo is also adding another $3709 in "other closing" cost for a total of $6501. The other cost includes an estimated cost of 14 months of insurance and six months of homeowner insurance they want me to prepay.
I was expecting the closing costs of $2792 but not the $3709. Which if I pay will not leave me with any cushion for safety. One of the charges is "Title-Lender's Policy" for $417. Not sure if this is a reasonable charge either.
I have a competing loan that is not charging as much as Wells Fargo. About $1000 less at closing and the interest rate is .5% cheaper than wells fargo.
This normal? Anyone have any advise or insight on pre-payig 14 months of insurance and taxes?
Thank you in advance,
Jorge G.
