Prepaid HOA fees at closing when purchasing a property are typically handled by the seller. The seller will provide the buyer with a statement showing the amount of prepaid HOA fees, which the buyer will then reimburse to the seller at closing. This ensures that the buyer takes over responsibility for the HOA fees from the date of closing onwards.


What closing costs can a seller legally pay for a buyer?

The underwriting requirements of a mortgage you may be taking to buy the property have restrictions that dictate the percentage and the type of closing costs that the seller can pay and still allow the borrower to qualify for the loan. These vary with all of the many mortgage programs that are available. == == Generally those closing costs that can be paid by the seller for the buyer are referred to as "non-recurring" closing costs.

Is there a law that states the seller only pays 3 percent of the closing costs?

Yes, but only for FHA loans. As of last week many FHA guidelines were changed. One of those Guidelines include the percentage buyers can obtain in Seller provided closing cost. Previously, a buyer could receive up to 6% of the purchase price from the seller for nonrecurring closing cost (in the state of California and I believe nationwide but I am not sure). As of last week the max is 3%. This reduction is said to prevent inflation of sell prices. Generally, a seller will increase the asking price of any given property with the assumption that the buyer will require up to 6% back to cover closing cost, this process inflates the market value of a house.
