    prepaid interest.

    you pay all the way up to the 30th of november.
    it’s also tax deductible. you’re paying for the days you will live there.

    if you close on the 30th then you only pay 1 day of prepaid interest….

    either way your 1st payment will be due in January 1st.

    I assume you are buying a condo…

    Short-term interest on your HUD statement is probably interest through the end of the month that you are closing… so it would be 11/8-11/30 (22 days of interest) and that gets you on track for everything to happen on the first of every month.

    you pre pay interest for the month you close on the home and then dont pay next month the loan payment divided by the days of the month multiplied by the days of the month left
