Some houses are designed around square footage. This one was designed around gathering. The kitchen naturally becomes the place everyone ends up-whether it's a holiday meal, a weeknight dinner, or friends lingering long after dessert. A large island offers seating, storage, and convenient power outlets, while the farmhouse sink looks out over the backyard. The gas cooktop, complete with pot filler, makes cooking for a crowd feel effortless, and the pantry with automatic light installation provides the kind of storage that quickly becomes impossible to live without. At the center of the home, a tabby fireplace anchors the living room. Just beyond, an oversized screened porch creates a second living space with its own matching tabby fireplace, making it easy to enjoy cool mornings, football Saturdays, and quiet evenings outdoors throughout the year. The floor plan offers flexibility without sacrificing privacy. The primary suite and a second bedroom with full bath are located on the main floor, while two additional bedrooms upstairs provide additional rooms. The bonus space was converted into a fourth bedroom upstairs, with its own closet and access to walk in attic storage. Outside, the backyard feels intentionally created rather than simply maintained. There is space to garden, play, entertain, or simply enjoy a little breathing room between you and the world. Life in Maiden Creek Landing extends beyond the property itself. Residents enjoy a gated entrance, clubhouse, fitness center, community pool, and access to deep water via the neighborhood boat lift. Located just minutes from I-95, the community places St. Simons Island, Jekyll Island, Savannah, and Jacksonville all within easy reach while still offering a slower pace when you return home.
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.
