Miscellaneous

Per Diem Interest: As a result of there being no mortgage payment due the first month following your closing; at the closing you must pay simple interest covering the period from the day of the closing through the end of the month.

Escrows: Property Tax and Property Insurance escrows are required under most mortgage programs; but can be waived on a case by case basis. Escrows are designed to allow the lender to collect 1/12th of your annual Property Tax bill and Annual Insurance bill as part of your mortgage payment. Your initial escrow deposit will be calculated at closing to determine the amount of money that will need to be initially deposited to your escrow account. The actual amount will depend on the dollar amount and timing of the first tax payment coming due. The lender will need to make certain that there will be sufficient funds on account to make this first payment. Generally speaking, you can expect this amount to range anywhere from 3 to 6 months worth of payments.

Pest Inspection: Purchase Applicants should have a pest inspection report done as soon as possible. Please note that many of our programs do not require Pest Inspections; but we recommended having one prepared.

Home Inspection: Purchase Applicants should have a Home Inspection or Engineers report done as soon as possible. Please note that we do not require Home Inspection Reports; but we recommended having one prepared.
