Texas No Closing Cost Mortgage

  

The costs of a mortgage include the interest you pay plus the loan closing costs. Some of the closing costs can be avoided with a “no fee mortgage”. Here is a list of items that may not be charged for this type of loan and the typical cost of the item:

 
  • Loan Origination Fee ( 0 to 3% of the loan amount)
  • Loan Discount “Points” (0 to 3% of the loan amount in exchange for a lower interest rate)
  • Private Mortgage Insurance ( 0 to 2% added to the payment, or a lump sum payment)
  • Appraisal Fee ($250 to $500)
  • Credit Report ($15 to $25)
  • Mortgage Broker Fee ( 0 to 3% of the loan amount)
  • Processing Fee ($300 to $600)
  • Underwriting Fee ( 0 to $900)
  • Wire Transfer Fee ( 0 to $30)
  • Administration Fee ( 0 to $500)
  • Flood Certification Fee ($15 to $30)
 

The term “no fee mortgage” could mean that certain of these fees would not be charged. Which items are not charged will vary so get an explanation if you are considering this type of mortgage.

 

No one likes to pay fees and some people assume that a “no fee” loan is best. That is not always true because the finance rate will be higher to cover the “free” items. You will probably pay about ˝ percent more on your interest rate to get 1% of the loan amount in “free” costs. If you want a $200,000 loan and get $4,000 (2%) in “free” costs you will probably pay about 1% more on your rate. That would be about $104 more per month in interest or about $37,400 in extra cost over 30 years. In this example you would have a cash flow savings for 38 months and then be losing money for the rest of the loan term.

 

 It is important to consider both the costs and rate to get the best mortgage deal. If you expect to finance for a short term you may be better off paying a higher rate with smaller fees. Also if only wish to put up a very small amount of up front cash for your mortgage, it could be necessary to minimize your closing costs.

 

There are other costs to close a loan that will not usually be waived with a “no closing cost” loan. These can include prepaid property taxes, hazard insurance, attorney fees, recording fees, property survey, and more. That means that there will probably be costs to close even with a no fee loan.
