| Property taxes (Banks County rate, 0.61% of the price a year) | $249 |
| Homeowners insurance (Georgia average for the price) | $291 |

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.
