What is Funding Fee

The key costs and fees associated with assumable mortgages are: 1. Equity Buyout: The difference between the home's purchase price and the remaining balance on the seller's existing mortgage. This is the largest upfront expense. 2. Assumption Fees: - FHA Loans: Up to $1,800 to cover assumption processing - VA Loans: Around 0.5% of the loan balance as a funding fee 3. Additional Closing Costs: - Title searches, transfer fees, and other administrative expenses - Appraisal fees, which are sometimes required but often waived While assumable mortgages can provide long-term interest savings, these upfront costs are important to consider.
