Not just&nbsp;my 20%&nbsp;down payment, which is of course expected, but a mountain of other fees and such that in some cases are adding up to $25k or more.<br/><br/>I don't remember having to come up with that kind of cash in any of the mortgages/refinances I've had before. I seem to recall that my <a href="http://www.zillow.com/directory/lenders/">lender</a> always rolled most of that stuff over into the <a href="http://www.zillow.com/mortgage/">loan</a>. Is that not happening anymore?<br/><br/>It would be ridiculous if the amount of house I could afford to buy was cut by $100k just because my down payment nest egg has been eaten alive by closing costs.<br \><br \>6 replies Sun, 26 Jul 2009 01:49:00 GMT http://www.zillow.com/advice-thread/Rolling-closing-costs-into-the-loan/260569/ 2009-07-26T01:49:00Z did the price of the 314 index av se property go up or down since the people bought it http://www.zillow.com/advice-thread/did-the-price-of-the-314-index-av-se-property-go-up-or-down-since-the-people-bought-it/273041/ 0 replies Fri, 28 Aug 2009 01:11:00 GMT http://www.zillow.com/advice-thread/did-the-price-of-the-314-index-av-se-property-go-up-or-down-since-the-people-bought-it/273041/ 2009-08-28T01:11:00Z I have a house listed in Zillow, but the number of bathrooms is incorrect. http://www.zillow.com/advice-thread/I-have-a-house-listed-in-Zillow-but-the-number-of-bathrooms-is-incorrect/267608/ I've tried to correct it, and it give me a message that it has been changed, but it never changes.<br \><br \>0 replies Thu, 13 Aug 2009 15:21:00 GMT http://www.zillow.com/advice-thread/I-have-a-house-listed-in-Zillow-but-the-number-of-bathrooms-is-incorrect/267608/ 2009-08-13T15:21:00Z The prices lie. --&gt; renton wa and look at the prices, price low to high,cost $1&gt; Those are rent cost http://www.zillow.com/advice-thread/The-prices-lie-gt-renton-wa-and-look-at-the-prices-price-low-to-high-cost-1-gt-Those-are-rent-cost/267354/ The prices aren't for sale, they are for rent, their not at that cost.
