So That Our Buyers Can Find You
Finding someone to assume your low interest rate mortgage payment and property is easier than you might think. Posting is immediate. Buyers will contact you directly.
Feature your home in our directory. Why? Your assumable loan is transferable with no change in terms. Buyers want to assume your loan because its cost less than new financing. Yes, sellers still capture all of their equity the same as with a traditional sale. Simply add the sellers financing option to the Purchase Agreement and the title company will do the rest. A mortgage assumption should only take 45 days to process (see HUD 4155 pdf).
Unique Benefits
Even in unique cases where a property has little or no equity, the seller can still get a return on their investment without taking a loss.
- • Preserve credit
- • Save taxable income
- • Prevent foreclosure
- • Release all liability
Better than selling yourself short, walk away with no consequences.
Take our advice! Showcase your home with us if you have less than 10% in equity. It allows you to keep up to 10% of the profit. If your equity is higher than 10% please use a licensed realtor agent. Both situations require adding the assumable financing option to the Purchase agreement. Once the title agency transfers the loan at the closing table the seller is fully released of all liability. Take advantage of your mortgage terms by posting your assumable home today.

Sample Listings
This is how your home appears to buyers searching for assumable mortgages.
Your Taxes
Assuming a loan carries a tax advantage, because it does not expose the seller to any financial loss. Simply there is nothing to tax on the assumable portion. Only in cases of a traditional "short sale" does the IRS view forgiven debt as taxable income.
Your Credit
All credit liability shifts to the buyer in an assumable transaction. This prevents lenders from reporting anything negative to credit agencies. Debt to income ratios and credit scores can in fact increase once liability is released and "paid as agreed".
Your Liability
Lenders are required to send a full release of liability letter to the seller once the loan is assumed. The seller no longer maintains any responsibility for the life of the loan and is fully relieved of their debt obligation. Buyers become liable to the terms within the assumption package.
A Successful Assumption — 8 Easy Steps
Step 1 — BE CREDITWORTHY
Review your credit score, and financial status. As of July 2012, FHA requires a minimum credit score of 580. Lenders often require a higher credit score of 620.
Step 2 — USE OUR SEARCH TOOL TO ORDER A DATA LIST
Find a loan to assume by searching our national assumable mortgage directory.
Step 3 — EXPRESS INTEREST
Contact the seller. Be prepared to discuss your interest in the property and your desire to assume their loan.
Step 4 — VERBALLY AGREE TO PROCEED
While this is a non binding task, it will prompt you to begin the assumption process with their lender.
Step 5 — WAIT FOR THE ASSUMPTION PACKAGE
The seller will order an "Assumption Package" from their lender. Most lenders are able to mail this to them in just a few weeks.
Step 6 — ANALYZE THE ASSUMPTION PACKAGE
Review and complete the lenders instructions with the seller. Make sure you understand and agree with the terms before you return the completed documents to the lender.
Step 7 — EXPECT 30 DAYS
Expect 30 days for the lender to complete your request. It is wise to confirm the lender has received and is satisfying the request. Some lenders may specify the amount of additional time needed.
Step 8 — KEEP YOUR APPROVAL & ASSUMPTION DOCS
The lender will notify you of approval once everything is processed and the loan transfer is complete.
