Should I offer earnest money in a real estate contract?
Isolated in Iraq asked:
I am making an offer to purchase an apartment complex. My real estate agent has strongly recommended that I offer 1% earnest money to show good faith. I have bought a few properties in the past and have never offered earnest money, has never been an issue. This is my first time dealing with an agent. Should I offer earnest money? What happens if my loan falls through for some reason, would I lose the earnest money? Thanks in advance!

Your Earnest money is as good as gold, if the loan is not approved you get all the Earnest money back, if the loan is approved, the Earnest money goes towards the price, real simple the more you show up front the better chance of making a deal
