Assumable Financing

Buy a Home with a VA Loan Assumption

A VA loan assumption may allow you to take over the seller’s existing VA mortgage and interest rate.

• Potentially Lower Interest Rate: If the seller has an existing VA loan with a low rate, an assumption may offer a financing advantage.
• Buyer Does Not Have to Be a Veteran: A civilian buyer may be able to assume a VA loan, subject to approval.
• Cash Equity Gap: If the purchase price is higher than the seller’s remaining loan balance, the buyer must cover the difference with cash.
• Veteran Buyers: An eligible Veteran may be able to use a Substitution of Entitlement (SOE) to help restore the seller’s VA entitlement.
• Lender Approval: The buyer must qualify for the assumption through the loan servicer.

As a Military Realtor®, I can help you identify VA-financed and assumable properties in Eastern Market and coordinate with your lender throughout the transaction.
