Assumable loan

Assumable 3% FHA loan

The listing says a qualified buyer can take over the seller’s existing FHA mortgage and keep its 3% rate. The low rate covers only the loan balance; the rest of the price is yours to bring, in cash or with a second loan.

Rate (per listing)

3% (not an APR)

Original lender

Southeast Mortgage Of Georgia Inc.

Loan term

Not published

Started

February 2021

The rate is as the listing agent states it in the description. Ask below and we’ll confirm it, the lender and the loan term with the listing agent.

About $227/mo less per $100,000 of balance you assume, compared with a new 30-year loan at 6.75%.

What you’d bring to closing

Loan balance you take over (paid down on schedule from the original loan)$

At 3%, about 24 years left$1,008/mo

Gap between price and balance$151,300

Finance part of the gap with a second loan (up to 90% of the price combined)

Second loan, assumed at %$115,500 · $888/mo

Blended rate on everything you borrow4.97%

Down payment with the second loan$35,800

Principal & interest$1,896/mo

Plus closing costs, taxes and insurance. The second-loan rate is an assumption you can change, not a quote. A lender prices the real one.

Finance the rest of the down payment

A partner lender can quote a second loan for the gap and check you for the assumption.

Rates, lenders, terms and balances come from three places only: the listing agent's own remarks; the FHA loan in HUD's public FHA Single Family Portfolio Snapshot that matches the owner's recorded MLS purchase to the dollar (shown as "Likely"; the lender named is the loan's original lender, which may no longer service it, and the balance is the original loan paid down on schedule, so the loan may since have been refinanced, modified or paid down faster); or a Veribas agent's confirmation with the listing agent. A rate is shown when the listing description states it (labelled as such) or when its lender and loan term are known; payments are shown only when the lender and term are known. Otherwise ask and we'll get them. Rates shown are the existing loan's note rate, not an annual percentage rate (APR), and not an offer of credit from Veribas. Payments shown are principal, interest and estimated property taxes; homeowners insurance, FHA mortgage insurance, VA or FHA assumption fees and HOA dues are extra, so the actual payment will be higher. Down payments assume a second loan at 8.5% over 30 years up to 90% of the price combined; that is an illustration, not a loan offer. The loan servicer (and, for VA loans, the VA) approves every assumption, and the buyer must qualify. VA loans can be assumed by non-veterans, but the seller's VA entitlement stays tied to the loan unless the buyer is a veteran who substitutes theirs. Verify the rate, lender, term and balance with the listing agent before you offer.
