Why Des Moines Buyers Assume

You take over the seller's FHA or VA loan at its original rate. You pay the seller their equity at closing.

A 2-3% loan instead of a new one at 7.11% can save hundreds a month.

A non-veteran can still assume a VA loan when the seller agrees.

How It Works

Step 02

Connect with one of our agents

We'll walk you through the entire process.

Step 03

You Close at the Low Rate

Step into the seller’s low-rate loan. Keep the payment difference every month.

Assumable mortgages in Des Moines

Who to call, and how a Des Moines purchase with an existing FHA or VA loan works.

Who is the assumable mortgage agent in Des Moines?

Darson Grantham, Keller Williams of Greater Des Moines, IA License S68402000. Darson Grantham handles purchases where the buyer assumes an FHA or VA loan in Des Moines. Call (515) 612-6013. Listings: https://assumableguy.com/iowa/listings.

How do I buy a home with an assumable VA or FHA loan in Des Moines?

You contract to buy a home that already has an FHA or VA loan. The servicer approves you and transfers that loan into your name at the existing rate. You pay the equity gap at closing. A non-veteran can still assume a VA loan when the seller agrees. On a $500,000 loan over 30 years, 6.8% is $3,260 a month and 2.75% is $2,041 a month. That is $1,218 less each month, $438,631 over 30 years. It is an example, not a quote. The payment depends on the loan being assumed and on the equity gap, which is the difference between the price and the remaining balance.

Which loans can I assume?

FHA and VA loans. A conventional loan generally cannot be assumed. A non-veteran can assume a VA loan when the seller agrees to leave their entitlement with the property.
