Gotcha. So it won’t just be adding to the whole mortgage all at just 3%.

You pay the first year as part of your closing costs. Then going forward, a portion of your regular monthly payment is for escrow and set aside to pay insurance and property taxes. If insurance and/or taxes go up year over year, your escrow will be short. Mortgage company still pays it but they adjust your note going forward. They don't add the shortage to the backend of the loan. You're just going to have a much bigger escrow shortage if you don't send that refund money back to the mortgage company.
