In a short sale, can you ask the seller to pay for your closing cost?

yes, upon bank aproval
You may ask, however it’s not for sure that the lender will approve it. The lender usually pays only for seller’s closing cost, and agents commissions.
Good luck
Alex,
Both of the answers above are good, but also try to ask your realtor to see if he/she and the sellers agent will help cover some of your expenses as well. If you’re not getting a loan, it should only be about $1000, anyways.
You can ask, but 9 times out of 10 they will not pay any buyers concessions.
