## What are general rules for lender, third-party, and seller-paid fees?

The following are general rules to follow when the loan is not a No Cost transaction. In the No Cost transaction scenario, all fees must be paid by the lender, collected as cash, and not paid outside of closing (POC). In addition, there is no offsetting the lender-paid portion in the 200 series on page 1 of the HUD1.

* Any fee in Block 4 or 5 must be disclosed on the GFE regardless of who is paying it. Any fee typically paid by the borrower must be disclosed on the GFE regardless of who is paying it.

** Please refer to the GFE Block Reference in this document for applicable Block Assignments based on the HUD line number.

Fees will print and total on the GFE based on the GFE Block Assignment regardless of who is paying the fee. A POC designation for a fee has no affect on the GFE because , it is a closing item, and therefore is ignored for GFE purposes. Additionally, the service provider selection has no affect on the GFE, this is a closing item as well, and the fee will appear in the comparison chart based on the service provider selection chosen at closing time.
