Can I get a lender credit on FHA?
Yes. Accepting a higher rate may provide a lender credit that can cover eligible closing costs. It may help when the money needed at closing is the main problem, but the higher payment must still make sense for your timeline.
What this actually means.
Lender credits and seller credits both help cover closing costs. They don't replace the FHA minimum required investment.
Where this can move.
Credit score, loan amount, LTV, points, lender credits, lock timing, and market movement can change the rate quoted.
