Better to finance the lower amount, but I suspect that it would not make a difference since you're paying it at effectively the same time as the down payment.

Finance experts - let's say you buy a $1,000,000 home. Is it better to put $200K down, then immediately make a $100K

Better to put all 300k down

And probably get a better interest rate.

$300k down. Lowers the monthly pmt

Yep if you want a lower payment 300k down. If you want it paid off faster 100k

If your making regular pmts after the purchase, I’d calculate the pmt with 20%

Don't know. TNT has never bought a $1,000,000,000 home

If you put $200k down, your closing costs and P&I are based on an $800k loan

Ask the loan guy if the rate changes with the different loan amount

Hard to ignore the loan period because that drives some of the pros/cons.

Your payment is lower with 300K down, you would pay less overall and finish

Put $100k down and invest the other $200k in stock options.
