- I am scheduled to close on my 1st house next Wed. I have obtained the
- (mostly) blank forms that will be signed at that time.
- In a review I have come across a potential problem (read: more money
- from my pocket :-[ )
-
- The seller as agreed to pay certain closing costs (attorney's fee,Title
- ins. \
- and 1 discount point) . As such the mortgage company rep wrote the
- application
- with *no origination* and 1 discount (effectively the seller pays
- origination
- and the interest rate is not decreased :-< ).
-
- In the loan application form in the section "Details of Transaction"
- there is
- a line: "Discount (if borrower will pay)" with the amount entered.
-
- Should I consider this a mistake by the clerk that filled out the form ?
- A formality
- of closing that requires this to appear ? Our contract does read in the
- clause
- dealing with the payment/reimbursement of closing costs being contingent
- on
- closing.
-
- Any experiences, opinions, advice will be appreciated.
