Closing Costs in Alabama
Whether you are a new homebuyer, an experienced one or a refinancing homeowner, closing costs can be a bit confusing. They are basically expenses that come with the mortgage loan processing process. Since mortgage loans are offered by lenders, closing costs are also charged by and paid to lenders. But there are third party fees involved. Lender’s costs include loan origination fees while third party costs are things like appraisal fees, survey fees, title insurance and taxes among others.
