Darling Charleston-Style Home in the Desirable Forest Trace Neighborhood. This well-maintained home welcomes you with its double piazzas, large cedar trees, and a generous back yard with privacy fence. At 1/3 acre, this corner lot is generous in size and features a semi-circular driveway that connects Linbrook to Forest Trace Way's cul-de-sac. Imagine being not only minutes from Downtown, Trenholm Plaza, and all those great restaurants - but also minutes from Ft. Jackson, I-77, 277, and I-20. This is life made easy. How often do people start their wish list with 3 BR, 2 BA? I hear it all the time! With a powder room downstairs, you just increased this wish list by half. Tasteful finishes are featured throughout the home, as well as ample storage. The owner's suite and front bedroom open out to the 2nd floor porch. And yes, those piazza ceilings are painted the prettiest shade of blue. If you aren't familiar with this neighborhood, you owe it to yourself to take a visit. You'll find wide, tree-lined streets, a variety of home styles, folks who take pride in their yards, and yes - completely decorated for Halloween! It's the kind of neighborhood that has become hard to find: friendly and peaceful, a place where people are outside enjoying a walk, a jog, or a trip on their bike. Yet another thing to note: 1 Forest Trace Way is also zoned for award-winning schools. Come, sit on the porch swing, enjoy the view from the second floor piazza, and say hello to your new home.

Roam works with you, your agent, and the listing agent to prepare a mortgage assumption agreement and finalize all details.
Roam coordinates all parts of the transaction and keeps all parties up to date to provide a seamless 45-day close.
To qualify, you must meet the current FHA, VA, or USDA loan requirements depending on the type of loan you are assuming. This typically means a minimum credit score of 580, although most lenders prefer 620-640. Your debt-to-income ratio should be under the 50% max under FHA guidelines. Additional information such as employment history, explanations of income for each applicant, and asset verification for a down payment may be needed to process the loan.
What is Roam?
Roam is your trusted partner for affordable home ownership. We help manage the assumption process from start to finish, enabling homebuyers to easily purchase their next home with a low-interest rate mortgage attached.
What is an assumable mortgage?
An assumable mortgage is a type of home loan that allows a homebuyer to take over the existing mortgage terms from the seller, with no cost to the seller. Many government-backed loans, such as FHA and VA loans, are eligible for assumption, and millions of these mortgages are available.
Why is an assumable mortgage valuable?
When interest rates on mortgages are high, assuming a mortgage with a rate as low as 2% allows buyers to save up to thousands monthly compared to buying a home with a traditional mortgage at today’s average rates of 7%. A low-rate assumable mortgage could be the key to finding your dream home at an affordable price.
Will an assumption work for me?
An assumption might be a suitable option for you if you meet the lender’s qualifications. We also offer Roam Boost to help buyers reduce the down payment required to a minimum of 5-15%. See below for more FAQs specific to Roam Boost.
