asked

We won a $200,000 settlement plus $170,000 in legal fees from a lawsuit due to real estate fraud. We are trying to buy a home and want to know if it's better to put 20% down ($116,000) or finance the home at 100% and invest the remaining money for future retirement, college savings, etc. Additionally, what are the tax implications of this type of settlement?
