Could you explain how it works when the seller "gifts" the buyer the down payment or the closing costs? thanks
Molly,
What you can do when you purchase a home is build the closing costs in the purchase price. This is where you add your closing costs to the amount you want to offer, and then the seller pays for those closing costs. No one is out any money and the buyer can come in with less cash.
On FHA loans you can also have the seller gift you your down payment. This is known as the "Nehemiah" program. Contact your lender for more info regarding this program.
Thanks for your questions molly!
