  • Professional Inspections: You pay for general, pest, and specialized inspections to ensure the property is a sound investment.
  • Lender Closing Costs: You cover fees for loan origination, appraisals, and title insurance, which usually total 2% to 5% of the loan amount.
  • Down Payment: You make the initial equity investment required by your mortgage program, ranging from 3% to 20% or more.
