This 4-bedroom, 1.5-bath home sits on over an acre in the Gaston County School District and offers the kind of space that's getting harder to find. Whether you're raising a family or simply want room to spread out, you'll appreciate both the indoor and outdoor living this property provides. Inside, you'll find a large living room that's perfect for family gatherings, movie nights, and holidays, along with a spacious eat-in kitchen where everyone naturally comes together. Outside, there's plenty to keep the kids entertained, including a commercial-grade playground and their very own playhouse. A storage building provides extra space for tools, lawn equipment, and seasonal items. One of the biggest surprises is the 1,432-square-foot unfinished basement. Leave it as-is for storage and hobbies, or finish it out to create additional living space. With so much square footage already under roof, the possibilities are endless—and finishing the basement would nearly double the size of the home. You'll also have peace of mind knowing the major updates have already been taken care of, including a new 2,000-gallon septic system(2026), new HVAC (2018), new roof (2020), and new water heater (2024). Bonus opportunity: As you drive onto the property, you'll notice a separate building to the left. This structure is owned as an investment by the seller and his father and is available for purchase separately for $100,000. The building already has a new roof, new windows, and has been completely rebuilt structurally. It offers incredible potential for someone looking to create a rental property, guest house, in-law suite, or living space for adult children. Opportunities like this don't come along often and could provide both additional living space and income potential. This is the kind of property where kids can play outside, families can gather together, and future plans have room to grow. Come see everything this home—and its possibilities—have to offer!
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.
