How do I roll closing costs into my mortgage?
When buying a home, borrowers usually have four ways to cover the closing costs:

- Negotiate seller concessions where the seller pays for some or all of the costs.
- “Buy up” the interest rate so that the lender pays for some or all of the costs (known as ‘lender credits’)
