What’s the difference between closing costs and prepaid costs?

Of all the expenses that come with buying a home, prepaid costs can sometimes take buyers by surprise. (And while we all love a good surprise, you definitely don’t want one in the buying process!). So, here’s what to know:
 
Prepaid costs are upfront cash payments you make at closing for various mortgage expenses before they’re actually due. Funds are held in escrow until needed. They include:  
 
– Initial deposit
– Homeowner’s insurance premiums
– Real estate property taxes
– Mortgage interest 
 
Prepaids are separate from closing costs which include the title search, appraisal, and cost of processing the loan.
