      Accurate asset allocation is crucial, I used hedging strategies to allocate part of my portfOlio to defensive assets for market downturns. Expert guidance is vital for achieving this.

    We purchased our home a few months back with an assumable VA mortgage. We sold our old house for the equity money (contingent offer,) the old owner gave up his VA entitlement to us because we are not veterans. Closing took 60 days.
    We paid about $30,000 more than it was worth, but it will save us over $300,000 in the long run.

      This is precisely why I like having a portfolio coach guide my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying it off as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform. I've been utilizing a portfolio coach for more than two years, and I've made over $800,000.

    My ex has an assumable VA loan @2.5% and selling his home. He initially only put down 5% only 3.5 years ago. It was shocking how many Realtors didn't know about or didn't even want to discuss the assumable mortgage as an option for their buyers, which literally would have saved almost $1300/month for the new buyers just in interest. Unknowledgeable "professionals" in real estate and the mortgage industry can literally cost people thousands. Additionally, the lender was already on board, and no new appraisal or VA inspections would be required, also saving the buyer money on closing costs.

    @barnabusdoyle4930 18 днів тому +26

    Assuming a mortgage loan is a great idea, it’s just really difficult. The best way to be able to assume a mortgage is to have sold another house and using the proceeds to buy a house with an assumption mortgage. One of the main reasons there are so few assumed mortgages is because people don’t know about the program at all, which is very disappointing.
    Also, paying a PMI while getting a mortgage at 2.75% is very much worth it. That PMI will be .5% of the balance so just think of it as having a 3.25% mortgage instead which is still half of what mortgage rates are now.

    • @hornetguy9063
      @hornetguy9063 18 днів тому +1

      I think it’s a great idea if you have the cash and like the house you’re buying. Like if a home was sold in 2020 and they’re trying to sell in 2024, it could be well worth ponying up $200k and assuming the last $300k of mortgage at 2.75%.

  • @karinhart489
    @karinhart489 17 днів тому +5

    When mortgage interest rates jumped to over 20% in the late 1970s & early 1980s assuming someone’s mortgage at a lower rate was popular, but only if the owner/seller carried the balance of the loan. That was very difficult to line up.

  • @BadBad
    @BadBad 15 днів тому +16

    George: Assumed mortgages require a lot of cash on hand...
    Also George: make sure to save up a lot of money for a down payment 😯
    George: Assumed mortgages make you wait 2-6 months for the approval process and you need to send documents in the mail...
    Also George: Make sure to choose manual underwriting for your home-buying process.
    This could be a good option for a very small percentage of the population. My best guess would be around 6,400 people a year.

But, unfortunately (???), I have about $125k of equity in my home... so, not sure anyone is going to be able to just toss $125k at me.

    When I bought my first home in Miami in the early 1990s, mortgage rates ranged from 8-10%. It's essential to acknowledge that returning to 3% rates might be unlikely. If sellers need to sell, home prices will drop, leading to lower evaluations. I'm confident others share my concerns.

The new mortgage rates are crazy, add to that the recession and the fact that mortgage guidelines are getting more difficult. Home prices will need to fall by a minimum of 40% (more like 50%) before the market normalizes.If you are in cross roads or need sincere advise on the best moves to take now its best you seek an independent advisor who knows about the financial markets.

People will have to accept the possibility that we won't ever return to 3%. If sellers must sell, home prices will have to decline, and lower evaluations will follow. Pretty sure I'm not alone in my chain of thoughts.

    assumable mortgages were all the rave in the 60s to the 80s ... then they all stopped in the 90s ... banks stopped making them for the reasons George stated in this video. What also happened was banks had clauses that once the loan was assumed by someone else, they could call the balance due at anytime. Thus forcing the new owners to refi out of it anyway.

This seems like a similar strategy sure you have to come in with more upfront but that’s what paying cash for a home would also mean and taking over the mortgage means less debt overall and fewer years you’re paying a bank which all seem to be thinks Dave would be behind or am I missing something

    Wait... $100-200k is a lot for the folks at Ramsey to assume a loan? What happened to no more than 25% of your net income at a 15yr fixed-rate mortgage?
    $59,000 is the median US salary in 2024 when I'm watching this.
    $47,200 is the net annual salary, assuming 20% total in taxes (depending on your bracket for fed, ss, medicare, state, local)
    / 12 months = $3933 monthly net income
    / 4 (25%) of monthly net income is $983
    If you take the same $350,000 home in the video at today's 7% interest rate and then the advice of 15yr fixed-rate mortgage with $983 monthly payment, this means you can take a loan out of about $109,000.
    $350,000 (home price) - $109,000 = $241,000 downpayment to make up the difference.
    $241,000 definitely exceeds the $100,000 to $200,000 mentioned in the video.
    I'm not tryna criticize the advice of "25% of net income at 15yr fixed-rate"--it clearly would put the individual in a great financial situation to do that. But I am saying...if you can assume the loan at 3% and not 7% that would save you thousands in interest not having to pay the banks and your downpayment is less in the hypothetical situation above. 60 days to close for that interest rate would be worth it to me.
    ----------------------------
    Another way to think about this, is the $350,000 home (which buys a condo in my area) at 25% of net monthly income with 15yr fixed-rate--this would require a salary of about $201,000+ if you put 0% down (not that anybody is suggesting 0% down, but just for reference).

    I assumed a loan from a co-worker who was leaving town. He just wanted it out of his name so he didn’t want anything more than what was owed. I payed an attorney to draft a bill of sale on the home, had it filed with the county, and paid the bank 20.00 to change the loan to me. I know I’m the anomaly but it was not difficult. It did take two months though

    I’ve actually considered looking into mortgage assumptions, since I’ve 2 low interest rate mortgages on 2 properties that both have significant appreciation. We want to move to a single family home to start a family in another state, but giving up 3.5% or so for 6.5% is a tough pill to swallow.
    Like I just saw one home that was sold in 2010 for $175k and is on the market for $600k. At that point, you may as well not get a mortgage.

I like this channel but this just seems like you needed something to talk about lol maybe to shout out your sponsors? there is nothing wrong with assumable mortgages. Most people only do this when they are selling their home and have a lot of equity in their current home and they use the cash received from the home sale so its not like people are just saving for these mortgages. Idk this is a weird video lol You stated that there is only 6400 of these loans per year which makes it unlikely but did you know that the amount of manual underwriting for a home mortgage is even less?

      I man really thats just a brokerage account that they talk about all the time. Theres other strategies. But most of them are kinda awful. If you only need it for a couple of years they might be ok. But if your doing fire and need it for a long time. These are usually bad options.
      You can do an annuity but they are pretty terrible. They don't typically increase. You can put money in high yield savings accounts. But thats not guaranteed to be a thing forever. You can put money in cds or bonds or some timmed investments so it matures in lock steps for when you need it. Im sure theres others im not aware of.
      But really just a brokerage account with index fund investments should get you through it. Especially if your planning on using less than Capitol gains 0% tax bracket. Which would be pretty easy to do if your house is piad for. Depending on the lifestyle you want.

    • @pdxmusl1510

      Oh. Some people get into real-estate or owning corporate land. As a land lord. But these are typically jobs. Not passive. And obviously pretty expensive to get into. But i mean 3 homes that rend for 2k gives you almost 60k per year (removing taxes). Which is not bad especially if all these properties, including your own, do not have mortgages. But you also need to save for emergencies and theres other costs involved in this. Like one of your homes may go a long time unrented. You need to plan for all these things.
      Again. Its doable. Its risky. And it kinda sucks too.

      Not if you want to refinance in the future. Because points do not carry from 1 loan to the next. Points are used to make a low rate better, not to make a high rate less high because odds are you’ll refinance when rates drop.

    Ramsey encourages a minimum 20% down on a home as long as it isn't the buyers first home. So, 25% as you calculated for the Millers in your first reason should exclude someone that's buying a home that isn't their first one... right? 25% being a "ton of cash" is exaggerated when you encourage everyone buying a home to have a minimum of 20%. Argument number 2 is weak if the home does fit in this category... cool. Reason number 3 is also strange. If it works out, it works out. None of these reasons seem "scary". I agree you should consider the potential for these negative impacts, but it feels fishy that you are so against this "trend". I normally agree with the principles of your videos, but this take is cold. The premise of the video could exclude some good options out there for certain people while also not adding a lot to the conversation that people don't already know.

    I'm pretty sure banks don't charge higher interest rates just for funsies to get more monsies.

So the reason that assumption loans aren't common or take forever probably has to do with other factors
