Frequently Asked Questions

Why is this important?

Many buyers forget to budget for moving expenses and immediate home repairs, leaving them cash-poor right after closing.

How much cash reserve should I keep?

Most financial advisors recommend keeping at least 3-6 months of expenses in reserve after closing on a home.

Does this include mortgage payments?

No, this only calculates your one-time cash outlay at closing, not ongoing monthly mortgage payments.
