Introduction to Loan Assumptions for Real Estate Investors

Bonus Module

Loan assumption is a powerful financing option that allows you to take over a seller’s existing mortgage, but only with the lender’s approval.

This is different than buying subject-to the existing financing or wrapping an existing loan.

This can be especially useful in real estate markets where interest rates were low and are now rising, making it harder to find affordable loans.

How Loan Assumption Works:

• Lender Approval - Unlike other creative financing options, loan assumption requires the lender’s explicit approval.

• Credit Impact - The assumed loan appears on your credit report, just like any traditional mortgage.

• Legal Ownership - You become the legal owner, with the deed transferred to your name. This is different from Rent-To-Own or Agreement for Deed financing strategies.

• Inheriting Loan Terms - You take over the original loan’s terms, which could mean lower interest rates than what’s currently available. Be prepared for additional fees or qualification requirements.

• Seller’s Role - The seller is usually completely removed from the loan, which can be an attractive option for them.

Imagine finding a property with an assumable FHA loan at 3% when the current market rates are 6%. By assuming this loan, you could save a significant amount in interest over the life of the loan.

However, it’s important to keep these potential challenges in mind:

• Equity - If the property has appreciated, you may need to finance the difference between the loan balance and the purchase price.

• Qualification - Most loans require you to qualify just like you would for a new loan.

• Availability - Not all loans are assumable. FHA and VA loans are the most common, while conventional loans are typically not.
