Whether you are buying a home or refinancing an existing loan, closing costs will be a sizable expense — think thousands of dollars. In some cases, it's possible to roll those settlement fees into the loan. Here's when and how you can, and also if you should.
A lender may allow closing costs to be rolled into a mortgage if you have enough borrowing power. Here's what that means.
Loan-to-value, or LTV, is the amount you finance compared to the home's appraised value. Say you take out a $300,000 loan on a home with a $400,000 market value. Your loan-to-value is 75%. Here's the formula:
Loan / value = LTV
