FHA Or VA Assumption On Your Home Loan

Thanks again for coming to TucsonShortSale.com; I know you hear me talk about short sales all the time, but today I wanted to talk to you about something else that we help people with. There are many homeowners out there that have an FHA loan or a VA loan and it’s possible that they have a little bit of equity on the house. One of the things that we can help you with is what’s known as an assumption.

With an assumption, we find a new buyer for your home, they make a down payment to cover all of the closing costs and go through the assumption process. If we do it through the VA, we’d be substituting your eligibility with another member of the military and with an FHA loan, it can be anyone, but they do have to qualify if your loan is fairly recent. The goods for both of these is that they can just assume your loan. With interest rates starting to rise, those of you that have FHA loans with a fairly low interest rate all of a sudden become a fairly attractive option to buyers. The buyer may very well be willing to pay a little bit more because the cost of the financing by assuming that loan is a lot less than they’ll pay for financing when interest rates go up.

I wanted to put this out there, so if you have an FHA or VA loan, you don’t know if a short sale or an assumption is the right thing or you don’t know if you have any equity in the house, we can help you figure all of these things out. We know how all of the different FHA and VA programs associated with your loans work, so please fill out the request form at the top of TucsonShortSale.com or pick up the phone and give us a call.

Some Lenders Are Transferring Mortgages During The Short Sale Process

Hello everyone my name is Shawn Polston with :k1 Short Sales, your number one short sale agent in the Tucson area, thank you for taking a minute to check out my blog today. I work with Keller Williams Realty in the Tucson area and use my blog to provide homeowners with valuable information on their options for avoiding foreclosure. If your mortgage is underwater, or if you are already considering a short sale, feel free to stop by my website or contact me directly to learn more about your options.

For my blog today I wanted to discuss working with Seterus on a short sale file and some of my recent experiences. Seterus has been around for a long time but has operated under different names, such as LBPS. My team and I have worked with Seterus for years and know what to expect when working with their short sale department. Thanks to all of our experience we have enjoyed a lot of success on the short sale files we have gotten approved through Seterus. One thing I have noticed lately is a lot of Bank of America mortgages being transferred over to Seterus. This is rather common between lenders and just goes to show just how popular short sales have become in the Tucson area. It is even possible that your mortgage may be transferred during the short sale process.

If you have any questions on the short sale process, regardless of who your lender is, please give me a call or contact me through my website to discuss all of your real estate options. Even if a short sale is not right for you I want to help you avoid foreclosure. Thank you for your time today and I hope to hear from you soon at Tucson Short Sales.
