What costs are involved in buying a home?
Like all investments, there are necessary costs involved. One cost you will typically face will be earnest money (Note: Earnest money is applied towards the purchase of the home). Other fees can be found in closing costs which include down payment (Note: Down payment is not necessary in every transaction), filing fees, origination fees, inspection fees, etc. Many of the closing costs are negotiable and will not all apply to your specific purchase.
