This charming 4 bed and 2.5 bath home offers incredible flexibility and potential, with a separate 2nd floor that can be used as a rental unit, office space, or additional living quarters. With its own private entrance, this upstairs space features a kitchen, bathroom, and two bedrooms, providing a unique opportunity for a dual-income property or home office setup. But simply open the main floor door in the living room and it becomes a single-family home with the upstairs kitchen converted back to a bedroom or office. The home has undergone significant updates, including a new roof on both the house and garage in 2021, as well as restoration of the main floor hardwood, replacement of the dining room and bathroom floors, and installation of new toilets and shower on the main level. Additionally, the main floor was repainted, and new ceiling fans and lights were installed in the living room. The home sits on a large corner lot with an oversized 2 car garage built in 1975. There are no known issues with the home outside of the disclosures, but at this price point, the home is sold as is. You won't want to miss this opportunity!!

FAQs
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.
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.
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.
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.
Roam has compiled available listings with low-rate assumable mortgages for you to browse. To get started, enter the city, state, zip code, or school district you’re interested in purchasing in. Utilize the search filters to narrow down your search. Click “Save search” to save your search preferences and activate listing notifications—we’ll email you as soon as new listings match your criteria.
Once you’ve found your dream home and ready to make an offer, schedule a call with a Roam Advisor directly from the listing. Your Roam Advisor will guide you through each step of the process, while also working directly with your agent, the servicer, and the seller to ensure you close on time.
When assuming the existing mortgage as part of a home purchase, the buyer has to cover the seller’s equity in the home. The seller’s equity is the purchase price minus the remaining mortgage balance. This amount must be covered in full through an all-cash down payment or by taking out a second mortgage.
