Understanding your options can help you navigate the path to homeownership with confidence.

Can I Roll Closing Costs Into My Mortgage to Reduce My Upfront Expenses?

Buying a home is an exciting milestone, but it also comes with a range of upfront costs that can add up quickly. One of the biggest financial concerns for many homebuyers is closing costs.

If you are wondering whether you can roll your closing costs into your mortgage to reduce your upfront expenses, the answer depends on the type of loan you are using and your lender’s guidelines.
