If you take separate deposit, you can only return it AFTER closing, not before. Therefore that separate deposit cannot be used against their downpayment.
Because the deposit cannot be used for downpayment, they might be reluctant to pay too much. Because any big spending would impact their mortgage.
So I suggest get additional EMD, that way they can put down more $$$ because it makes no difference at loan application.
谢谢各位的建议！
你还拿着他们的earnst money呢，有啥风险？
在addendum里面说好，搬进后不再修理，月租XXX。另外earnest money deposit，再付1.5／2／3万，随便要，反正是押金，最后都进首付。
Do you have an agent? he/she should know how to draft the addendum.

LZ can deduct whatever damage he has evidence for.
我想，addendum加上一句，在有必要的情况下，XXX earnst money将会转为deposit,可能更好，也比较周密。
卖方不希望变长租，按MTM租约进30天通知出签合同，押金可用于恢复搬入状态。
我以前买房子，多次遇到卖家回租一个月的情况。次次都没问题。现在这年头真不敢说了。驱赶禁令就是让人变坏的扯淡禁令。
双方都还有继续交易的意愿，就先搬进来了，给卖房付房租，两个半月以后才终于完成closing。
