What amount can a seller pay toward buyers closing costs? 95% conventional. Recurring and non recurring. Owner occupied.

Typically 3% in seller paid closing costs is the max for Conventional financing.FHA, VA, USDA allow up to 6% www.imortgagelending.com

I agree with the already submitted answer. http://saradeere.openmortgage.com.

Fanniemae guideline for conventional financing is 3% for LTV/CLTVs greater than 90% If LTV/CLTV is 75.01-90% the max is 6%

Anything LTV greater than 90% the max you can do is 3% contribution on owner occupied. If LTV between 75%-90% then you can do the 6%

If you' re doing a owner occupied purchase with 5% down on a conventional loan., then 3% is the maximum.. if you put more down, the seller can contribute more as well.. up to 9% if you put more than 25% down. FHA allows up to 6% and no limit for USDA or VA financing.. the funds can be use for all costs associated with originating a mortgage except none of the concessions can be used for down payment..

Everyone's answers so far are correct at 3%. The 2nd part to your question has not been answered. Most lenders do not differentiate between recurring and non-recurring fees so the 3% can go towards both.The mortgage industry spent years training Realtors to separate out and make sure we say the credit can go towards non-recurring fees only and now that it can go to both, we want you NOT to do that because it could limit the credit for your clients so just say towards closing costs and if the lender has a restriction it will still be OK.I am in CA and happy to help (415) 843-0142
