Can closing costs be rolled into an FHA loan?
Some can. Upfront MIP is financed into the loan. Standard closing costs cannot be added on top of the FHA loan amount above the appraised value, except in narrow refinance cases.
Plain-English explanation
Buyers usually offset closing costs with seller credits, lender credits, or DPA — not by rolling them into the loan. On an FHA streamline refinance, certain costs can be financed.
What can change the answer?
Gift source and donor eligibility, seller credit limits, down payment assistance program rules, and source-of-funds documentation can change the answer.
