Can I Bring Less Money to Closing of Fannie SFH
Doing my first deal, set to close January 25. In the future I'll get more creative, but going the safe route at first: Fannie Mae Investor Loan on SFH, 10% down, doing deal through mortgage broker reccommended by Real Estate agent. Got the house for 31,000, and house should rent for 650-675. Here are the details of the transaction:
Purchase Price: $31,000
Estimated prepaid Items: $1,081.40
Estimated Closing Costs: $1,916.62
Total Costs: $33,998.02
Other Credits
Cash Deposit on Sales contract: $1,000.00
Loan Amount: $27,900.00
Cash from Borrower: $5,098.02
So, I put down $1,000.00 earnest money, and they're saying I'll have to bring $5,098.02 to close. So it's 6k out of pocket to get this 31k house. I'm wondering if there is a way to wrap up more of these cost into loan and bring less cash to deal in a fannie/freddie type situation? If so, is it too late to do it on this deal?
