Mortgage interest rates have just clipped 8%, making affordability less affordable. But what is there was a way to buy a home and get the below market rates of yesterday (or yesteryear)?
It's possible with an assumable loan. With an assuamable loan, you're buying the home but you're also buying the current seller's loan and interst rate.

If you have questions, let's connect and see what other strategies will help you buy a home in today's market.
