Maybe this question has been answered before but didn't search all the threads.
Here is the situation. Have X amount to put down on the house. We thought the seller might pay closing costs but they can't. Closing costs are 5,000 approx. Should we put 5,000 less down on house and pay closing costs outright or increase the loan 5,000 to cover closing costs? We are putting 50% down and in three years will pay the rest off. So we won't be financing the 5,000 for 30 years.
I asked our mortgage person and they said it doesn't matter if we are paying the home off.
I just want the CD input....since everyone is always so helpful on here
