Frequently asked questions

What is a no closing cost mortgage?
A no closing cost mortgage means you don’t pay for the closing costs associated with getting a mortgage upfront but instead elect to get a slightly higher mortgage rate and receive lender credit to cover closing costs.
Can you buy a house with no closing costs?
Yes. You can either have the seller of the house you are purchasing cover all closing costs or contact a low priced mortgage broker to buy a house with no closing costs.
Who needs a no closing cost mortgage?
Borrowers with limited funds

 If you have limited funds and don’t have enough money to pay for the closing costs after the minimum required down-payment, then you should look into a no closing cost mortgage.  No Closing cost mortgage rates in Florida are higher than rates with closing costs. 

Borrowers who don’t plan on staying in their home long-term

 If you plan on staying in the property for no more that 3-5 years, you should consider a no closing cost mortgage since it takes 3-5 years to recuperate the standard closing costs associated with a mortgage.
How do I avoid paying closing costs?
There are two ways to avoid paying closing costs on a mortgage. You can ask the seller of the property that you are buying to contribute 3% of the purchase price towards your closing costs or pre-paids or contact a mortgage broker that has their compensation level set to no more than 2%. Preferably, your first goal should be to have the seller cover the closing costs so you can receive a lower mortgage rate.
Can all mortgage companies, such as banks, lenders and mortgage brokers offer a no closing costs mortgage?
No. Most mortgage companies set the backend yield on their rates so high that there is not enough credit available from the rate to offer a no closing costs mortgage. 

For example, the average closing costs and pre-paids associated with buying a home is about 3% of the purchase price. Since the rates typically yield no more than 5% on the backend of the loan there is not enough credit available to cover the closing costs if the lender has set to make 3-5% yield. Thus, only low priced mortgage companies which have set their yield at 2% or lower can do a no closing cost mortgage.
