Who can qualify

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.

Frequently asked questions

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.
