Your parents are gifting you $100,000 for your down payment?

That is incredible. Now please do not accidentally make it a problem. Here’s how gift funds usually work:

1️⃣ Tell your lender before anything moves. Do not transfer the money first. Your lender needs to guide the timing, the account, and the documentation.

2️⃣ You will probably need a gift letter. It usually includes:
-The gift amount
-Your relationship to the person gifting it
-The property address
-A statement that the money is a true gift
-Confirmation that it does not need to be paid back

3️⃣ The paper trail matters. You may need to show:
-The donor’s bank statement
-Proof the funds left their account
-Proof the funds went into your account or escrow
-Cash 👉 no
-Mystery deposits 👉 also no
-“Don’t worry, it’s from my dad” 👉 underwriting still needs proof

4️⃣ Move the money exactly how your lender tells you.
-Sometimes it goes to your account.
-Sometimes it goes straight to escrow.
-Sometimes timing matters more than you think.
-Do not guess.
-Ask first.

5️⃣ Check the loan program rules.
-Some loan types allow the entire down payment to be gifted.
-Others may require you to bring some of your own money.
-This is why you want to ask early.

6️⃣ Do not forget about reserves.
-Even with a large gift, you may still need money left after closing.
-Your lender will let you know what your file requires.

7️⃣ Tax note: ask a CPA.
-The buyer usually does not pay tax on the gift.
-The person giving the gift may need to file a gift tax form depending on the amount.
-Again, that is a CPA question, not a “let’s guess on Google” question.
-Common gift fund mistakes that can slow everything down:
-Moving the money before talking to your lender
-Using cash
-Sending money through random apps
-Not having a clean paper trail
-Calling it a gift when it is actually a loan
-Waiting until right before closing
-Underwriting will ask questions.
