Live in the Heart of It All in the neighborhood of South Baltimore. Walk everywhere and take your pups! Wake up to stadium views and walk to the game. This updated Federal Hill rowhome puts you steps from M&T Bank Stadium and Camden Yards, with Hanover Street right around the corner right for an easy morning commute. Three finished levels, off-street parking, and a layout built for the way people actually live. This one checks boxes that are genuinely hard to find at this price point in Fed Hill. The main level sets the tone with hardwood floors, exposed brick, and an easy flowing floor plan. The kitchen delivers granite counters, stainless appliances, and soft-close cabinetry, functional, clean, and ready for Sunday brunch or a quick weeknight dinner before the game. A half bath and mudroom round out the level. Upstairs, the primary suite is your retreat after a long night on Cross Street, complete with access to a rear deck for morning coffee or late-night unwinding. A second bedroom and full hall bath give you flexibility for a roommate, guests, or a home office setup. The lower level is where this home really earns its keep. Two bonus rooms, use them as bedrooms, a gym, a studio, whatever the city life demands, plus a third full bath with a spa-style shower to relax in style. A rear parking pad means you're never circling the block after Ravens or Orioles traffic clears. Multiple outdoor spaces, including the front porch and rear 2nd story deck deck, let you take in the skyline on your own terms. The best Federal Hill has to offer is easily within reach. Property is a short sale and sold strictly as-is and may include contents at closing. Short sale will be professionally negotiated by an experienced short sale team.
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.

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.
Yes. Non-veterans can assume a VA loan, provided they meet the lender’s VA criteria. When a qualified buyer assumes a VA mortgage from a veteran or active-duty service member, the seller’s VA loan entitlement remains tied to the assumed loan until the buyer pays off or refinances the loan. This process restores the veteran seller’s entitlement, enabling them to use their VA benefit for a future home purchase.
Yes. All FHA loans are assumable by law as long as the buyer meets the FHA’s credit, income, and qualification requirements and obtain lender approval before assuming the loan (per FHA regulations effected December 15, 1989). Roam makes this process simple for buyers.
Generally, conventional loans are not assumable. In rare cases, a conventional loan may be assumable with lender approval. Use our search tool to find homes with assumable low-rate loans, or reach out to us if you’d like to confirm a specific home’s assumability.
