Most buyers don't pay all of that in cash. With 15% down ($40,313) and a 2nd loan for the other $102,046 at 8.5% over 20 years, it's about $1,481 a month: $89 less than a new loan with the same $40,313 down. Principal and interest only.
| Principal and interest | $595 |
|---|---|
| 2nd loan | $886 |
| Property taxes (Polk County rate, 0.77% of the price a year) | $172 |
| Homeowners insurance (Georgia average for the price) | $184 |

In brackets: if the real rate is half a point lower or higher than our estimate.
Principal and interest only; taxes and insurance are extra. The rate is estimated from the loan type and the month it was recorded, and the loan is assumed to end on its recorded maturity date. Ask the listing agent for the servicer's payoff statement before you count on these numbers.
Before you make an offer
- Ask the listing agent to confirm the loan is a VA loan and that the seller is open to an assumption.
- Get the exact balance, rate, and payment from the seller's loan servicer. Ours are estimates from public records.
- Plan how you'll cover the seller's equity: cash, or a second loan if the servicer allows one.
- VA loan: anyone who qualifies can assume it, but the seller will likely prefer a veteran buyer. If you're not a veteran, the seller's VA entitlement stays tied to this loan until it's paid off, which limits their next VA loan, so expect them to weigh that. Expect a 0.5% VA funding fee (waived for veterans with VA disability compensation) and a servicer fee of up to about $700 in Georgia plus the credit report. VA assumption guide.
- The servicer's approval usually takes longer than closing a new loan, so ask early.

Rates come from each loan's public records (HUD's FHA records or the lender's federal HMDA report) where we can match the loan; the rest are estimates from the average 30-year rate in the month the loan was recorded (VA loans usually came in lower; FHA loans landed on both sides). Balances are estimates: the original loan amount from public records, paid down to today. Prices are from the listing when we first found it; check the listing for the current price. Savings compare the same loan amount at today's average rate. Not a brokerage, lender, or advisor; confirm everything with the listing agent and the loan servicer.
