Looking for an assumable mortgage? Start with Joe Argon.
An existing FHA or VA mortgage can be an important part of the opportunity. I help you look beyond the rate—at the home, equity gap, loan requirements, and total purchase—to find what makes sense for you.

THE OPPORTUNITY TO WATCH
FHA & VA LOAN ASSUMPTIONSThe right home.
A mortgage
worth keeping.
Sometimes, the opportunity is already in the loan.
An approved assumption lets you take over an eligible seller’s existing mortgage—including its interest rate and remaining repayment term. That can change the conversation about what a purchase looks like.
I help you evaluate the property and the existing mortgage together: the rate, remaining balance, cash needed to cover the seller’s equity, and requirements to confirm with the servicer. A low rate earns a closer look; the whole purchase still needs to make sense for you.

Can someone who isn’t a veteran assume a VA loan?
Qualified non-veterans may assume a VA loan, subject to approval and credit and income requirements. The seller’s VA entitlement generally remains tied to the loan unless an eligible veteran substitutes sufficient entitlement or the loan is paid off. Release from liability and entitlement restoration are separate considerations.
Could I use an assumption to buy a rental?
It depends on the loan, assumption requirements, occupancy rules, and your intended use. We would confirm eligibility with the servicer before evaluating a property as a rental investment. Do not assume that every FHA or VA mortgage can be assumed for rental use.

A CLEARER WAY FORWARD
Good decisions start
with good questions.
What do you want this property to do for you?
A new chapter for your family. A carefully timed sale. An investment that supports your long-term plans. We start with your priorities, then put the property, financing, and next steps in context.
Make a considered move.
Build a plan around your home and timeline, with thoughtful presentation, a clear pricing strategy, and direct guidance through negotiations.
Discuss your home ↗See the whole picture.
Consider the capital required, realistic expenses, rental potential, and the property’s role in your broader goals.

Put your capital
to thoughtful use.
A property should make sense for the life—and portfolio—you’re building.
Talk through your investment goals ↗Start with the income.
Examine rental potential alongside vacancy, repairs, management, insurance, taxes, and ongoing capital needs.
Understand the financing.
Evaluate the loan, cash required, and intended use. An eligible assumption can be part of the analysis when the full purchase works.
Include the tax picture.
Eligible rental expenses and depreciation may reduce taxable rental income. These benefits arise from rental ownership; offsetting other income depends on applicable loss rules and your circumstances. Review the plan with your CPA.
