Don't
Move Money Around
Don't move
money around before buying a home! If you are like
most everyone who buys a home, you will need a mortgage.
The lender will review your loan package and will ask about
the source of funds for your down payment and closing costs.
You will probably be asked to provide statements on your
liquid assets--checking accounts, savings accounts, money
market, CDs, stock, mutual funds, 401Ks, etc.
If you have
moved money around in any of these accounts, there will be
deposits, withdrawals, and the lender may require a complete
trail of the money. You may have to produce cancelled
checks, deposit receipts, and it could become rather
tedious. So let your money be until you talk to a
lender. Don't change banks either.
