💰 “I have enough money to close, so why does the lender care where every deposit came from?”
It’s a common question, and there’s a reason lenders ask.
When funds are being used toward your home purchase, the lender may need to verify where certain deposits came from, including your earnest money deposit. The goal is to confirm the funds came from an acceptable source and weren’t borrowed in a way that creates an undisclosed debt or otherwise impacts the loan.
That $5,000 earnest money deposit? We may need to document which account it came from. A large deposit into your bank account? We may need to source that too.
Every loan scenario can be different, so if you have questions about what assets can be used, moving money between accounts, or how long funds need to be documented, reach out. We’re happy to help! 🏡
