What is an Assumable Mortgage?

In real estate, an assumbale mortgage is a financing arrangement where the owner of a current mortgage transfers the mortgage note to another buyer. In essence, the buyer is assuming the remaining debt and terms of the mortgage, which allows that buyer not to originate a new mortgage

Assumable mortgages are seen on the buyer side and become more attractive when interest rates rise so that the new buyer can assume the lower interest rate. There are two types of loans that can qualify as assumable, which are insurnced by the Federal Housing Administration and the US Department of Veterance Affairs.

Assignment of Mortgage Examples

Examples where you will find an assumable mortgage:

  • Example 1. A buyer of a property assuming the current mortgage on the house.

Here is the Balance’s definition of an Assumable Mortgage .

I am a business, Internet, and intellectual property lawyer. My practice is split between both transactional work and litigation. Prior to law school, I earned a master’s degree in computer science, which gives me the background and experience to understand technology, software, and the Internet better than most attorneys, and so my practice focuses on these areas. However, I represent clients in almost any industry, including real estate, construction, medicine, service, and consumer products.

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.

I got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
