Welcome to 8033 Orchard Grove Rd, a home that makes everyday living feel effortless and well-designed. This end-unit townhome has been thoughtfully updated and exceptionally well cared for, with hardwood floors, fully renovated bathrooms throughout, custom-designed closets that maximize every inch of space, and a 1-car garage outfitted with a Proslat organizing system that makes the space look sleek, clean, and is incredibly functional. The main level is bright, open, and easy to live in, with a spacious family room flowing into the kitchen, complete with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and plenty of room to cook, gather, and stay connected. It’s the space where mornings start with breakfast at the counter, evenings wind down in the living room, and weekends naturally become time spent with friends and family. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat with two oversized walk-in closets and a beautifully renovated ensuite bath. Two additional bedrooms, another fully renovated full bath, and a conveniently located laundry area round out the upper level. One of the secondary bedrooms opens to a private balcony, perfect for a little quiet time, morning coffee, or fresh air. And then there’s the location, which is hard to beat. You’re just minutes to the MARC train, making commuting into Washington, DC, Baltimore, or Fort Meade incredibly convenient. Piney Orchard Marketplace is right next door, so grabbing groceries, picking up dinner, mailing a package, or filling up your tank is all just a quick walk or short drive away. On beautiful days, it’s easy to take advantage of everything around you - bike the BWI Trail, head out for a walk through nearby parks and paths, or just enjoy being part of a community that offers both convenience and outdoor space. This is the kind of home where everything just works, from the updates to the layout to the location. Welcome 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.
