The difference between closing costs and down payment doesn't really affect the bottom-line dollar amount that's needed at the closing table. After the escrow officer tallies up the buyer's debits and credits on the HUD-1 Settlement Sheet, there will only be one check to bring in when it's time to sign escrow papers.
Tip: Get the lender to pay the closing costs. If you're short on cash for the closing costs and can't roll the closing costs into the mortgage, some lenders will pay part or all of the closing costs, but in exchange you'll have to pay a higher interest rate on the loan, perhaps 0.25% or 0.50% higher.ip: Ask the seller to pay some of the closing costs. If you're short on cash for the closing costs and can't roll the closing costs into the mortgage, ask the seller if they're willing to pay part of the closing costs. It's not unusual for buyers to ask for this. Usually the worst that can happen is that they say no.
