There are many choices in making a down payment in terms of the amount to put down. Each option has its consequences. Putting down less than 20% may result in paying private mortgage insurance. The decision of how much to finance is also influenced by interest rates. A tax refund is a painless way to add to your down payment stash.
An Earnest Money Deposit is the initial deposit made demonstrating the “good faith” of the buyer in completing the home purchase transaction. A deposit of 1 to 3% of the sales price of the home is considered appropriate. A tax refund is a nice addition to your Earnest Money Deposit funds.
