Mortgage quotes include estimated closing costs. Closing costs contribute to the total cost of a refinance or mortgage loan. Here's an explanation of typical closing costs.
Buying a foreclosed home: Don't get ripped off
HUD, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac can offer home buyers good deals on foreclosed homes and condos. These properties are typically sold as-is, but sellers may provide special financing and incentives to those who convert these empty nuisances to occupied homes.
