Protect the life you will live after closing
The down payment is only one part of a purchase. A useful plan estimates the full cash requirement and leaves room for ownership expenses after you receive the keys.
Use this practical checklist
- Ask your lender for a current loan estimate and likely cash-to-close range.
- Budget for inspections, appraisal, moving, deposits, and immediate purchases.
- Set aside funds for repairs and routine maintenance.
- Keep an emergency reserve instead of using every available dollar at closing.
