How much can borrower ask for in closing costs?

Are you asking about a sellers concession?

It is dependent on which home loan program you are utilizing. Generically speaking, up to a maximum of 3% on insured conventional and up to 6% on government home loans (i.e. FHA, VA or USDA).

Depends on the actual loan program... Standard conventional is up to 3%. FHA is up to 6%. Other loans vary...

Each loan product is different,. USDA has no limit, and conventional allows for up to 9% depending on how much your putting down, FHA allows for 6%, and VA allows for 4%. but for the most part, 3% is customary, and should be enough to pay for all your closing costs..

Hi Jason,You can negotiate with a seller or other interested parties for whatever you want, but lenders do have restrictions on what they will allow in a financed transaction. The answer to your question does depend a few factors. FHA loans have a maximum "Interested Party Concession" (IPC) of 6%, of closing costs and pre-paids expenses. Anything over that 6% is considered a purchase inducement, and results in a dollar-for-dollar reduction to the sales price in the lender's eye.For an Agency Fannie Mae loan, the maximum depends on your down payment. If your down payment is less than 10%, then the maximum "Interested Party Concession" is 3%. If your down payment is 10% to <25%, the IPC is 6%, and if your down payment is 25% or more, then the max IPC is 9%. I hope that helps.Sincerely, Dan Marchiando
