Regarding the down payment its possible that if you’re first time home buyer you can obtain a gift letter from family member to assist in your down payment.
- Another cost to keep in mind is the home inspection. This price can vary from as little as a couple hundred dollars to $1,000 plus depending on the size of the home you’re buying.
