Qualify

To qualify, you must meet the current FHA or VA 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%. 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.

FHA (Federal Housing Administration) loans

FHA loans require the buyer to assume the mortgage as a primary residence.

VA (Veteran's Affairs) loans

You don't have to be a veteran to assume a VA loan. However, not all veterans are willing to let a non veteran assume their mortgage. Roam confirms the seller's willingness prior to you making an offer.

Investors

You may be able to assume a VA mortgage as an investor without it being your primary residence.

Frequently asked questions

What is Roam?

expand content

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?

expand content

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?

expand content

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.

How can you find assumable mortgage listings?
