This is a weird situations
1. Seller is paying all of my closing cost
2. The Seller owes 5 months of Taxes
3. Im not Escrowing my Taxes
4. Apparently the Title Company will not give me the Tax money that is for the 5 months of Taxes they will only give me the money that I brought to the table which is the 1000.00 Earnest money and my application fee for the loan.

Does any one have any thoughts on this scenario or has anyone run into this before?

 In finances there has been a great deal of competition and many lenders are trying to attract customers to their institutions.  This has forced some creative folks to come up with a tempting offer for consumers to draw them into the banks. 

One thing that you should be aware of when you are looking at these types of no closing cost refinance that nothing is really every free.  You should know what the truth is behind these loans and how you can be informed so that you make the best decision about one of these products for you. 

One of the problems with a no closing cost refinance is that you will save money on the closing costs, but the bank is often charging a much higher interest rate on the loan itself.  Over time you will be paying back more to the bank than you ever saved on the closing costs.

This practice is completely legal and you will have to be sure that you know what you are getting into before you sign anything.  It is up to the consumer to make sure that they are making the best financial decision for their no closing cost refinance.  Don’t let anyone talk you into a refinancing deal that you have not thoroughly checked out. 

Pay attention to the interest rates on a no closing cost refinance.  All aspects of your loan should be thoroughly checked out to be sure that you are not paying more than you think you are.  While a no closing cost refinance sounds like a great offer, you will have to look deeper into the details of the loan to make sure that you are paying the lowest possible interest rates.

Remember, you always have the ability to shop around for the best deal on your refinancing.  There are many great offers out there for you, just make sure that you completely understand the deal that you are getting.
