    How can I save on Alexandria closing costs?

    Studies show that the closing costs, which can average 2 to 3 percent of a total home purchase price, are often more costly than many buyers expect. But there are some ways to save:

    * Negotiate with the seller to pay all or part of the closing costs. The lender must agree to this as well as the seller.

    * Get a no-point loan. The trade-off is a higher interest rate on the loan and many of these loans have prepayment penalties. But buyers who are short on cash and can qualify for a higher interest rate may find a no-point loan will significantly cut their closing costs.


    * Get a no-fee loan. Usually, though, these fees are wrapped into a higher interest rate though it will save you on the amount of cash you need upfront.

    * Get seller financing. This kind of arrangement usually does not entail traditional loan fees or charges.

    * Rent the property in which you are interested with an option to buy. That will give you more time to save for the upfront cash needed for the actual purchase.

    * Shop around for the best loan deal. Each direct lender and each mortgage brokerage has their own fee structure. Call around before submitting your final loan application.
