How this is worked out

6 steps
  1. Loan amount = 400000 - 0 down = 400000
  2. Origination = points on the loan + flat lender fees = 0
  3. Title insurance = 0.5% x 400000 = 2000
  4. Prepaids = 0 interest + 0 tax escrow + 0 insurance = 0
  5. Buyer closing costs = 2000; cash to close = 0 + 2000 - 0 credit = 2000
  6. Seller closing costs = 22800; net proceeds = 400000 - 22800 - 0 payoff = 377200
