Do I need any money at closing with a USDA loan?

Maybe not. There are two ways to structure a USDA loan to avoid any cash due at closing from the home buyer. If the seller won’t cooperate or if the home does not appraise for a high enough amount to roll in the closing costs, there are ways that we can adjust the interest rate to possible cover closing costs as well.
