Mortgage Term of the Day:
An initial escrow deposit is the amount you pay at closing to set up your escrow account.

This account holds funds for:
📅 Property taxes
🛡️ Homeowner’s insurance
🏠 Sometimes mortgage insurance

Lenders require this upfront to ensure there’s enough money in the account when those bills come due.

💡 Think of it as a cushion to keep your mortgage-related payments running smoothly!

HOME INSPECTION: is a thorough examination of a property's condition, typically conducted by a professional home inspector. This process evaluates the home's structure, systems, and overall safety to identify any potential issues or needed repairs before you finalize the purchase.

A home inspection typically happens after an offer is accepted but before closing, giving you an opportunity to address any concerns.
