Answer 2

Answer: $5,725

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*205,000=\$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.
