Finance Repairs
Sometimes — but USDA is not a full renovation mortgage like FHA 203(k). Required health-and-safety repairs can often be fixed by the seller or held in a repair escrow. Large remodel wish lists usually need a different loan product. Ryan & Steve tell you which path fits before you write the offer.
