What Additional Fees Should I Expect with my Mortgage?

Answer:
Whether you’re a first time home buyer, or you’re
refinancing your current mortgage, you’re bound to see a few “additional” fees during the process. So prepare yourself ahead of time by knowing what to expect.


If you’re offered a great rate from a mortgage company, make sure they don’t rack up so called “junk fees” to make up the difference. Depending on your lender, certain legitimate fees you may expect to see include:
 
*PMI (private mortgage insurance) – unless you’re down payment is at least 20%
*Underwriting fees
*Appraisal fees
*Credit report fees
*Survey fees
*Inspection fees
*Origination fees

Your lender should provide you with a “good faith estimate” document. All costs expected to be incurred on the closing of your mortgage should be disclosed in this. In some cases you may be able to waive a few of the fees. Closing costs will vary based on lenders and the area where you live.
