Upfront cost estimates on a $3ooK home

Upfront Costs: Out-of-pocket cost

-Down Payment 

-Closing Costs

-Moving Costs (Utility Transfers, Moving Trucks, ETC…) 

Down Payment

Down Payment all depends on the Type of Loan you use (Based on Primary Residence and not Investment)  

FHA Loan: 3.5% down which would equal $10,500 on $300,000

Conventional Loan: 5 to 10% down usually

Rural Development is also an option in certain areas, which is a zero down payment option (a little higher to get at this price point) 

Closing Costs

Closing Costs on average 2-5% of the Home Purchase Price: 

Middle Ground is let’s say 3.5% so about $10,500.
