Take over the existing mortgage terms from the seller
An assumable mortgage is a type of home loan that allows homebuyers to take over the existing mortgage terms from the seller. This can benefit buyers by allowing them to cut their monthly mortgage payment in half.
Most government-backed loans, such as FHA-insured and VA-guaranteed loans, are eligible for assumption.

We can help buyers reduce the down payment required to a minimum of 5-15% by using a 2nd mortgage.
Buying with Roam may significantly reduce your monthly payments
Buyers who qualify for an FHA or VA loan may also qualify for a low-rate mortgage assumption.
We’ll navigate the process with the servicer on your behalf. When you assume a mortgage, there’s no required appraisal.
Assuming a low-rate mortgage may significantly reduce your monthly payments compared to a new mortgage at current prevailing rates.
For example, assuming a $520k mortgage at a rate of 2.5% could save you as much as $1,650 in monthly principal and interest payments compared to a $520k mortgage with a 6.5% interest rate. All calculations are estimates and provided for informational purposes only. Actual amounts may vary.
