What is an assumable contract?

More context would help. Here is a general answer based on some assumptions. Assumable contracts when used for discussions involving US real estate are rare these days. What it means is the contact between a borrower and a lender can be assumed by another party who wants to take over for the borrower. That is not the legally precise definition but that was the market practice. VA and FHA were two areas were contracts (the loan) was assumable. For the most part any time someone wants to assume the existing contract the other side to the transaction (the lender in this example) will need to give prior approval. The contract might be assumable if a reasonable alternative borrower applies. It is not done all that much in residential. It can be found in the commercial real estate sector.


What are other options besides foreclosure?

# Save up money to get current. # Establish a repayment plan or forbearance agreement with the current mortgage company. # Modify the terms of the existing loan through a mortgage modification, agreed upon between homeowners and lender. # Refinance through a traditional or hard money lender and obtain a foreclosure bailout loan, if there is enough equity to qualify. # For FHA loans, obtain a partial claim to get current. This will result in a lien being placed on the property for the amount of arrears, but reinstates the mortgage. # Sell to a private investor or friend/family member who will allow the homeowners to continue living in the property. # File bankruptcy and include the house (Chapter 13), and keep up with the court-ordered repayment plan. # Sell the property for less than what is owed through a short sale. Tax liabilities may be a result of this option. # Sell the property outright for as much as possible, paying off the loan in full. # Offer the bank the deed to the house to avoid going through with the entire process with a deed in lieu of foreclosure. # Just move out, abandon the house, and begin the process of becoming financially stable after foreclosure.

You already have a fha loan on a mobil home but you want a house loan what do you do to get another loan?

Well this will depend on what kind of FHA program you are insured under for your mobile home. If it is a "Home Loan" under 203(b) program then only under certain circumstances will you be allowed another FHA. BUT if you received a "Dealer" kinda of loan under the FHA program for the mobile home it can be classified as "personal property".......possibly.... If there is land or real estate property involved in the loan then probably not. Only a FHA Lender (underwriter) will be able to determine based on a verification of mortgage or loan from your current mobile home lender.

Can you get an FHA loan for an investment property?

FHA loans are intended for owner-occupied properties, not investment properties. However, there are exceptions to this. If you live in a duplex, you can get an FHA loan for the whole property while living in one and renting out the second unit. The FHA gives loans for owner-occupied properties with up to four units. This means you can buy a four unit complex with an FHA loan and rent out the other three units, provided you live in at least one. The other occasion FHA loans cover rental property is when you've moved out of the home. If you bought the property under an FHA loan and have to move, you can retain the FHA mortgage on the property while renting it out. The home you've previously lived in can also be refinanced under the FHA streamline refinance program. You can even get a second FHA mortgage for a new home if you have at least 25% equity in the old house, and you moved out as your family grew. The FHA's only limitation on this practice is that you've lived in the property for at least twelve months. If you buy it, move in and then move out, the FHA can sue you for violation of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act. The FHA doesn't set rental rates when you rent out the property, but it is your responsibility - not the renter's responsibility - to pay the FHA mortgage payments on time and in full. One small caveat to the FHA rental rules is when you first buy the home. The prior occupants may still live in it when you close. When you take out an FHA mortgage, you must move in within 60 days of closing. You can let the prior occupants rent for the 60 days until you move in. This is technical renting out the property.
