what are assumable loans?

 

Assumable loans permit one borrower to take over a loan from another borrower without any change in the loan terms. These loans are still available but they aren't very common or popular for buyers in a low-interest-rate environment.
Additionally, current assumable loans are almost always adjustable rate mortgages. To determine if a loan is assumable, look at the loan agreement, then talk to the lender about specific requirements based on the value of the home.
