The purpose of collecting 3 months of escrow at closing is to ensure there are enough funds available to pay these expenses when they become due.<\/p>\n<p>Setting up an escrow account helps to spread the cost of property taxes and homeowners insurance over the course of the year, making it easier for homeowners to budget for these expenses. By collecting 3 months of escrow at closing, lenders can ensure that there are enough funds in the account to cover the initial payments when they come due.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, collecting 3 months of escrow at closing provides a cushion for unexpected increases in property taxes or insurance premiums. This ensures that homeowners do not fall short on their payments or face a shortage in their escrow account.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, collecting 3 months of escrow at closing helps to protect both the lender and the borrower by ensuring that necessary expenses are paid on time and that there are sufficient funds available to cover them.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs_about_escrow_accounts\"><\/span>FAQs about escrow accounts:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_What_is_an_escrow_account\"><\/span>1.
