Payment before loan
How common is it for lenders to ask for $1600 payment from me before I receive the fund distribution? This seems like a scam but ive never had a home loan before. Is this basically the down payment for the loan?

@Alex Verdugo YES.....this is an absolute scam. None of the language has industry standard terms and has that “foreigner” (think Nigerian) use of the English language and terms.
