Paying Closing Cost

by Rob Aubrey on February 27, 2010

The Different Ways to Pay for Closing Cost

Again the key is how long will you own the home or own the loan. If you are a first time home buyer I really recommend paying your closing cost in the rate. The odds are great you will not own the property long enough to matter too much. I am a big fan of owing less money.

Here is a table that I used to explain the different scenarios in the video.

$200,000.00 $194,000.00
5.00% 5.50%
$1,073.64 $1,107.19
$33.55 x 12 Months
$402.60
$5,000.00
Divided by $402.60
12 Years

Fell free to contact me if you would like to discuss this further.

Don’t forget you can search all homes listed by Realtors by clicking on the Search Homes Tab up top.
