Cash is legal tender in our country. You should be able to use it to purchase, or facilitate a purchase for any product or service.
…right?
Believe it or not, having cash in the mortgage industry is a bad thing.
If you have cash saved up for a down payment on a home – and you were planning on using it for a down payment – it will present a problem when it comes time to getting a mortgage.
The mortgage world is all about documentation.
…The guidelines on cash are designed to prevent the seller from just giving you the down payment.
So, if you have a down payment – you will have to show where it came from… …checking = good, …savings = good, …gift from relative (fha/va/usda) = good, …retirement account = good, …cash = NO GOOD.
The best solution for this?… Put the cash in the bank. …Leave it there for 60 days. …After 60 days sitting in the account – it doesn’t matter where it came from.
That’s it for today!
Have a good day today! …and thanks for reading.
