Ever wish you could lock in those old 3% interest rates? Assumable mortgages are a hot topic right now for a reason – this creative financing strategy lets you take over a seller's low-rate loan and dramatically lower your monthly payment. In this video, we break down how it works and why it's a big deal in today's 7% interest rate market.
For example, we compare a typical 7% loan vs assuming a seller's 3% mortgage on a $500,000 home. By taking over the 3% loan and using a second mortgage (HELOC) to cover the price gap, the buyer in our scenario saves about $955 per month – and pays no mortgage insurance.

We explain step-by-step how this works, including how to bridge the remaining balance so you don't need a massive down payment. Whether you're a first-time homebuyer, an investor trying to cash flow, or just a serious buyer facing high rates, you can't afford to ignore assumable loans.
We show how a low-rate assumption can turn a deal around – one Las Vegas example turns a -$400/month loss into +$600/month cash flow on a rental property! For many buyers, this strategy can even make an otherwise unattainable home attainable (a lower interest rate improves your debt-to-income ratio). Our guest expert, lender Wes Freeman, covers who qualifies for these assumable FHA/VA/USDA loans (ideal credit score, co-borrower options, etc.), how to find properties with assumable mortgages (yes, even condos can work), and how long the assumption process takes. Don't wait for rates to drop – learn how to leverage someone else's low rate now and secure your home on better terms.
