Rates
Can I get a lender credit on FHA?
Short answer
Yes. Accepting a slightly higher rate buys a lender credit applied to closing costs. Useful when cash to close is the binding constraint.
Plain-English explanation
What this actually means.
Lender credits and seller credits both help cover closing costs. They don't replace the FHA minimum required investment.
What can change the answer?
Where this can move.
Credit score, loan amount, LTV, points, lender credits, lock timing, and market movement can change the rate quoted.
