Is it possible to roll the closing costs into a FHA mortgage loan?

It depends Lauren, are you talking about doing an FHA refinance.

More info needed.. Purchase or refi? If it's a purchase and your only coming in with your required 3.5% down, then no.. you cannot finance closing costs.. if it's a streamline refi, then NO.. you cannot roll in the closing costs.. If it's a full up qualifying FHA refi with an appraisal, and you have sufficient equity, then yes.. it's possible to finance the closing costs.. Also, by choosing a slightly higher interest rate, it's possible your lender can give you a credit to pay the costs.. But as I said, more info needed to address your specific scenario..

The short answer is probably not. If its a purchase you could ask the seller to contribute toward your closing cost. Refinance would depend on the type and Loan to value.

FHA allows "seller paid closing costs" up to 6% of the loan amount. I hate that term, because the seller isn't really paying anything. It is just how it needs to be done to roll the closing costs into the loan itself. Your other option is by increasing the interest rate a little bit, and the lender will give you a "lender credit" to pay some or even all of your closing costs. Talk to a local mortgage broker in your area, give them a full application, and they will let you know your options and costs. In MN, WI, and SD, visit me at www.StPaul-Mortgage.com
