What are my options for paying closing costs?
Sometimes, closing costs can be included in the amount of the mortgage loan. Or, the lender may agree to pay the closing costs in exchange for a higher interest rate on your mortgage. If a lender does not make these options available, the buyer must pay for closing costs out-of-pocket.
You can also ask the seller to pick up some of the closing costs when you are negotiating the purchase contract.
