We Purchased a property and used a lender who over financed our purchase. When Escrow closed the transaction we had a refund check paid out of Escrow to us for the remaining balance. How do we catogarize this when we set up our flip property as a project and we add product and services to track expenses and credits? Would this be considered a COG?

It depends on what caused the discrepancy.  Assign the deposit for the refund check to whatever portion of the purchase was over-financed.  For example, if it was the value of the property, assign the deposit to the property's fixed asset account.
