If you are buying a home that has an assumable mortgage, here are some questions to ask: Will the lender charge an assumption fee? How much? What is the outstanding balance of the old loan? Is it large enough? How much cash will I need? If it is not large enough, will the seller be willing to take back a second mortgage? What are the rates and costs of a second mortgage? From the seller? From a lender? Would the combined monthly payments and interest of the old mortgage plus a new second mortgage be more or less than those of a new first mortgage? There is no simple formula or rule of thumb to help decide whether or not to assume an old loan.
