Seller Mia has an FHA-insured mortgage with a below-market interest rate. A buyer asks whether the loan can potentially be taken over instead of getting a brand-new mortgage. Which statement is most accurate?

Correct Answer

B) FHA-insured single-family forward mortgages are generally assumable under program rules

That is the most accurate statement. Current HUD guidance explains that FHA-insured single-family forward mortgages are generally assumable, although program rules and lender approval requirements still matter in the transaction.

Answer Options
A
FHA loans can never be taken over because federal law prohibits assumptions
B
FHA-insured single-family forward mortgages are generally assumable under program rules
C
An FHA loan may be assumed only if the property is converted to investment use
D
Only VA loans can be assumed, and only if the seller is a military borrower
