What the low rate is worth
Every $100,000 of this loan costs about $560 a month at 4.25% over the 24 years left, against $690 for a new 30-year loan at 7.36%. That's about $130 a month less for each $100,000 you take over.
This home's loan balance, the cash it takes to assume, and your monthly savings are in Pro.
Taxes and insurance add about $442 a month: property taxes about $217 (ZIP 30188 rate, 0.74% of the price a year) and homeowners insurance about $225 (Georgia average for the price). FHA loans carry mortgage insurance of about 0.85% of the balance a year, which stays with the loan when it's assumed. Estimates; get an insurance quote and the county's tax bill before you count on them.

As shares of today's balance. The dollar amounts are in Pro.
Principal and interest only; taxes, insurance and FHA mortgage insurance are extra. The loan is assumed to end 30 years after it was recorded. 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 an FHA 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.
- FHA loan: you qualify with the servicer much like a new loan and have to live in the home. The servicer can charge up to $1,800 plus credit report costs. FHA 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.
