About this home

A well-cared-for home in a well-loved neighborhood, right in the heart of everything. 2008 Real Drive sits in a quiet pocket with mature trees, walkable streets, and quick access to Hewitt, Woodway, and Waco. Locals often think of this area as part of Hewitt or Woodway, and it is zoned to Midway ISD which remains one of the most sought-after districts in Central Texas. You are also minutes from numerous parks, making it easy to enjoy the outdoors year-round. This home has been lovingly maintained by the same owner for many years. It features a classic brick elevation and a timeless floor plan with clearly defined living, kitchen, and dining spaces. The layout works well for those who prefer tradition over trend. The primary suite is tucked away for privacy and includes dual vanities and a walk-in closet. Two spacious guest rooms and a hall bath round out the interior. Major upgrade alert. A brand new roof was installed in November 2025 which makes insurability significantly easier while offering peace of mind for years to come. Out back, you will find a covered patio, a shady yard with St. Augustine grass, and a newer privacy fence. It is a great space for winding down or entertaining. Affordable homes in Midway ISD are rare and this one is priced under $300k. If you are looking for a smart first home or a low-maintenance investment in a great location, this is it. Let’s get you in for a tour because opportunities like this move quickly.

About Roam

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.

Roam has compiled available listings with low-rate assumable mortgages for you to browse. To get started, enter the city, state, zip code, or school district you’re interested in purchasing in. Utilize the search filters to narrow down your search. Click “Save search” to save your search preferences and activate listing notifications—we’ll email you as soon as new listings match your criteria.

Once you’ve found your dream home and ready to make an offer, schedule a call with a Roam Advisor directly from the listing. Your Roam Advisor will guide you through each step of the process, while also working directly with your agent, the servicer, and the seller to ensure you close on time.

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.
