Hello,
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.
I hope you have a good day today. Thanks for reading!
Brett
