What is an initial escrow deposit?

Answer:

An initial escrow deposit is the amount that you will pay at closing to start your escrow account, if required by your lender. 

This initial amount may be different from what you pay monthly to maintain the escrow account. This initial amount is listed in section G on page 2 of your Loan Estimate. This amount may change between your Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure.
