Answer 2

Answer: $5,725

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The cost of home = $205,000

If there is no down payment, then the mortgage amount = $205,000

We know that one point costs 1 % of mortgage amount .

2 points = 2 % of the mortgage amount =$0.02\times205,000=\ 4,100$

$\text{Closing costs=}\text{cost of points + appraisal fee+processing fee+ title fee}$

$=\ 4,100+\ 450+\ 575+\ 600=\ 5,725$

Hence, her total in closing costs = $5,725.
