What is the difference between down payment and closing costs? Who gets what?
0:00 – Introduction
0:42 – Not the same.
1:20 – Questions. How much money do you have? (Spoiler: Most likely it’s not putting the “down payment” you’ve saved 100% toward the loan. It costs money to get a loan…and there are other incidentals.)
4:00 – Buying Discount Points. Spendy.
6:00 – Talk to your Lender. Cash to close, closing costs, prepaid costs are all different things that overlap.
8:40 – Earnest Money. Putting down a lot of earnest money doesn’t go to the lender, to the agent, or to the seller. It goes to your house. Maybe it pays closing costs, maybe it’s down payment. Talk to your lender.
11:31 – New Construction. You qualified for your loan several months ago…and now rates have gone up. STAY IN CONTACT WITH YOUR LENDER.
12:38 – What’d we learn today?
14:20 – Out Takes
* No down payments were harmed in the making of this video.
