They can include loan origination fees, appraisal fee, credit report fee, title search and insurance, home inspection fee, attorney fees, escrow fees, recording fees, mortgage insurance, prepaid expenses, and discount points. Costs vary, so request a Loan Estimate from your lender for a breakdown specific to your loan.
