This custom brick estate in Salado's established Mill Creek community offers traditional charm and an abundance of living space. Spanning over 5,000 square feet, the floor plan unfolds generously across two levels with two distinct downstairs living areas, two dining spaces, a sunroom, and an upstairs loft so expansive it functions as a destination of its own. Whether you're hosting a crowd or simply spreading out, there's room for it all. The kitchen offers plenty of prep and serving space, as well as a wet bar. The laundry room was built for functionality with a full sink, folding counters, dedicated cabinetry, hanging space, a refrigerator nook, and even a laundry chute connecting directly to the upper level. The primary suite is anchored by a closet that rivals most bedrooms in scale and includes a dedicated cedar closet. Upstairs, an oversized bedroom, full bath, a sprawling living area, and a large separate storage room offer flexibility that's rare to find. Plantation shutters frame peaceful views of the fifth fairway of Mill Creek Golf Course: a backdrop that makes the everyday feel a little more like a getaway. Throughout the home, elegant crown molding, built-ins, and a central vacuum speak to the care and craftsmanship that went into the original build. Out front, a circle drive, classic red brick, columned front porch, and three-car garage offer the kind of practical elegance that matches everything to be found inside. And when you're ready to explore, this golf cart-friendly community puts downtown Salado just a short ride away.
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.
