Unsure How Much Cash You Need After Closing?
Expect months of PITIA left in liquid accounts after closing — often 6–12 months on jumbo. Here is what counts, what gets haircut, and how Indiana buyers plan liquidity.
Jumbo investors hold the risk themselves — Fannie and Freddie are not buying the loan. Larger balances mean larger monthly payments, so underwriters want proof you can weather a job change, vacancy, or repair without missing a payment.
Reserve months are measured against full PITIA (principal, interest, taxes, insurance, HOA). On an $850,000+ purchase, that can be a substantial cash requirement beyond down payment and closing costs.
Reserve requirements vary by investor and are subject to change.
Seasoned, documented assets with clear ownership — not last-minute large deposits without a paper trail.
Down payment, closing costs, and reserves all draw from the same liquidity pool.
