Great opportunity to own this completely restored historic village home and cover your mortgage at the same time. Renovated in 2019 by a licensed contractor including all plumbing and electrical with HVAC. Also, as of 2020 a new roof. Energy features include a NEST thermostat, spray foam insulation and a tankless water heater to insure plenty of water for long hot showers!! Home is divided into 2 separate living spaces. The right side (larger) is the main living space, while the smaller side can be (and has been) rented out through Airbnb. In fact, there are bookings already scheduled until December if you choose to keep them. Included in the smaller side so that you're all set to rent is all furnishings, appliances (refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker), Tempur-Pedic mattress and all linens. The home is easily changed back into a single living space (with 3 bedrooms) if desired. In the wall between the sides where a door used to be, it could be opened up to the smaller side and goes directly into the hallway. On the larger side refrigerator and washer and dryer are included. The drapes are included on the larger side as well. Codes for each entry door are included in the private remarks. Parking is on the street in front of the property and in the space behind the property (once sewer work is completed).

Assuming a mortgage can seem complex and unfamiliar. We simplify the process by providing white-glove support and expertise at every step.

Roam works with you, your agent, and the listing agent to prepare a mortgage assumption agreement and finalize all details.
Roam coordinates all parts of the transaction and keeps all parties up to date to provide a seamless 45-day close.
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.
What is 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.
What is an assumable mortgage?
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.
Why is an assumable mortgage valuable?
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.
Will an assumption work for me?
An assumption might be a suitable option for you if you meet the lender’s qualifications. We also offer Roam Boost to help buyers reduce the down payment required to a minimum of 5-15%. See below for more FAQs specific to Roam Boost.
