What is an assumable loan?
It is the seller's existing mortgage, which a buyer takes over instead of getting a new one. The buyer keeps the seller's interest rate, remaining balance and remaining term. FHA, VA and USDA loans allow this. Most conventional loans do not.
Who can assume an FHA or VA loan?
Any buyer the loan servicer approves. You do not need to be a veteran to assume a VA loan. The servicer checks credit and income much as a new lender would. The process usually takes longer than a new loan, often 45 to 90 days, so plan the closing date around it.
What about the difference between the price and the loan balance?
You pay it at closing, either in cash or with a second mortgage at today's rates. On a $400,000 home with a $280,000 balance, that is $120,000. The blended payment is still often well below a new loan for the whole amount, but run the numbers with a lender first.
What happens to a veteran seller's VA entitlement?
It stays tied to the loan until the loan is paid off, unless the buyer is an eligible veteran who substitutes their own entitlement. That is why some VA sellers prefer a veteran buyer, and why it is worth asking the listing agent up front.
Where do these rates come from?
Three places, labelled on every home: the listing agent's own description, the listing agent marking the home assumable in the MLS, or HUD's public FHA loan records matched to the owner's purchase (shown as a likely FHA loan, which may since have been refinanced). Confirm the rate, balance and the servicer's approval before you make an offer. A Veribas agent can request those details from the listing side for you.
Get the loan details before you offer
A Veribas agent can get the balance, servicer and assumption terms from the listing side. They can also have a lender price the gap, so you know the real monthly payment before you write an offer.
