The video provides a visually stimulating way of understanding it, but yes! You can either assume an existing FHA-insured loan or, when you are selling, let your buyer take over yours. Assumption has its advantages in terms of expediency and cost-saving since you don’t have to go through the entire process for a new loan. Plus, the interest rate may also be lower in comparison. You just have to pass a credit assessment and won’t need an appraisal on the property. And there needs to be evidence that you can bear the cost of the mortgage payments. Which makes this process quite close to the qualification requirements for a brand-new loan.
