is there any circumstance in which a conventional loan is assumable? I'm planning on buying a home this year but there's a possibility I could be relocating within the next 2-4 years. by SRadis_755_387 from Wilmington, North Carolina. Sep 6th 2012
There are no conforming, conventional loan products where they can be assumed without qualifying... ( VA and FHA are assumable with qualifying). I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona. If you or someone you know is looking for financing options, feel free to contact me or pass along my information. 480-287-5714 WilliamAcres.com
Mortgage loans are not assumable, the new borrower must qualify on their own for a new loan. You can rent the place out to a tennant and do owner financing or lease to own but they can not step in and assume the loan.
FHA loans are Assumable. The borrower does need to qualify, though. It's a decent selling feature if rates are much higher when you sell.
