If your are referring to a co-signed loan, where you guaranteed a loan for your father, then you are generally not able to remove yourself from the loan until it is repaid unless the lender agrees, and determines your father no longer requires a co-signer. To transfer a loan that is completely in your name from yourself to your father, he would have to obtain approval from the lender. Generally, a lender is not obligated to consider this unless the loan was originally issued as "assumable". Most mortgages, for instance, are assumable. This means that you could sell your house by having a qualified buyer assume your mortgage upon approval from your bank.
Some mortgages are "assumable" which means that if you meet the lenders criteria you may assume the mortgage at the original terms and take over from the current mortgagee and homeowner. Assumable mortgages have become less common over the last decade and saw a sharp decline during the onset of the housing market crash in 2007. The loan note for the current mortgage will state whether or not the loan may be assumed. If the loan can not be assumed or you do not qualify, the loan must be paid off by a loan you obtained or refinanced into your name in order for you to become the mortgagee on a property.
You would have to ask the bank with whom you want to get the mortgage with. Some loans do have an assumption feature that allows this, but not many. And assumptions are never a good idea for the seller. You need to go through a property purchase transaction or execute contract for deed so that you can complete that and in future gain ownership of the property. ____________ Actually - FHA, VA, and some Conventional ARMs are ASSUMABLE. The assumption does require some qualification but you can actually take over the existing terms, conditions, payment, and rate of the existing loan and purchase the home. ________________________________________________________________________ The existing mortgage would have to be assumable in order for someone to take over the mortgage loan in there name without changing the terms of the initial agreement with the lender. FHA mortgages are the most popular form of assumable mortgages. '''An assumable mortgage is defined by the seller of a home having the ability to transfer their mortgage loan to the new buyer. Before taking over the mortgage loan, the lender of the assumable mortgage will require the buyer to be credit worthy and will execute its due diligence by underwriting the mortgage loan again with the new buyer's credit history being reviewed.''' An assumable mortgage is especially beneficial when mortgage rates are as low as they are today. For example, if a borrower gets a mortgage today, then decides to sell their home in five years, rates can potentially be in the 8% range. '''The assumability of a mortgage will make the home more marketable by allowing the seller to offer any potential buyers a mortgage rate in the 4%-5% range.''' An assumable mortgage is also valuable because it is far less expensive when compared to the costs of a new loan. One example of the cost savings within an FHA assumable mortgage is because an appraisal is not required. In addition to the cost savings, the process is streamlined, allowing for a basic credit check to determine a borrower's income is adequate enough to support the mortgage loan. So if you're looking to purchase a home, an FHA assumable loan makes the most sense, now and in the future. I hope this information helps. Best of luck! Regards, Total Mortgage
Yes, VA mortgage loans are generally assumable, allowing a buyer to take over the loan at the existing interest rate and terms. However, the buyer must meet the lender’s credit and income requirements to assume the loan. Additionally, the original borrower may remain liable unless they request a release of liability from the lender. It's essential to check with the lender for specific policies regarding assumption.
Presuming it isn't any type of assumable without qualification loan, No...he would almost certainly have to refinance and qualify on his own. (You can't just change the agreement you made with the lender).
