What’s earnest money? It’s a deposit that shows you’re serious about buying.
Here’s the deal:
✅ It’s usually 1–3% of the purchase price
✅ It’s applied to your down payment or closing costs
✅ You may lose it if you back out for non-contingency reasons
✅ It protects sellers—but also locks in your offer.
Want to use it wisely? Let’s talk.

✔ Interest rate
✔ Loan options
✔ Approval odds
Start improving it early—before you shop.

Tricky question—with no one-size-fits-all answer.
Best house:
✔ Turnkey
✔ May be harder to gain equity
Worst house:
✔ Fixer-upper with upside
✔ More risk (and work)
It depends on your goals, budget, and timeline. Want help deciding which path makes more sense for you?
