FHA-Closing cost 6% seller assist, is it the purchase price or closing cost amount????

Profile picture for jayte55
Just not sure what the 6% that the seller may assist on, is it the purchase price or the actual closing cost amount?  Looking to purchase $42900 and I have the down payment (3.5%) but alittle short on the closing, realtor suggested paying full price and asking for 6% seller assist sooooooo basically is that 6% of $42900 or 6% of closing cost amount???  Thanks for any and all feedback

jayte55, I see you put up several quote requests on Zillow and no quotes. Contact Timothy at Suntrust, he can do your loan with the credit you outlined below ( if debt ratio works of course ).

My bad, I see we are talking about $42.9K. You can put a loan request in here on Zillow, should get a couple of lenders that will do it. If you get an offer for 5.5%, take it.

If the Allegheny County FHA limit is $347,500.00, $429,000 is too high.  No way around that.  You will need to go conventional financing with more money down.

Yes sir, I am looking to purchase in allegheny county and just went through divorce and selling of home.  Just looking to get a small fha loan $42900 due to being stuck with some credit cards from ex-wife, credit score is 668 and no/never late on anything just high balances on a couple of cards and typical student loans and car payment.  Like I mentioned previously in my original post, I have the 3.5% down payment but don't really have the cash on hand for the closing and that's why I'm looking for some type of seller assist.  Thanks for all your information and I checked out your guy that you referred me to and it appears that he only deals in large loans nothing small like the one I'm looking for.  Do you know of anyone that deals in smaller loan amounts?

6% of the sales price is the max seller concession allowed, towards closing costs AND/OR prepaids if written that way in the contract
