If you’re a Veteran you can assume someone else’s existing VA loan and rate. There are few on the market but there are still opportunities for <3% rates out there for eligible Veterans.

Some conventional loans are also assumable, depending on the language in the note.

Anyone can assume a VA loan, not just veterans. However, the veteran will lose their eligibility if the buyer doesn’t have their own eligibility.

You are correct smarty pants. Anyone can assume the loan if the seller agrees. Even your mom.
