Reign Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Is it possible to transfer a loan? I'm familiar with the quit claim which allows you to transfer property. But if you have a house still under a loan and you have someone to purchase, but they can't get a loan due to not so good credit....I've heard of assumable loans, but I've also heard lenders don't do these anymore. If a person wants to take on my property and loan, aren't there ways to do this without applying for a loan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ybrew Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 The only way I could see it happening is with owner financing. In this case, you'd still be on the loan, and you'd pay the loan out of the money he pays you.I've heard of this as sort of a balloon type loan. Owner financing for 2-3 years at which time balance is due in full (hoping by the end of the baloon period, the person you're financing would have better credit and be able to get a loan).The downside to this from the new buyer's perspective - he's not on the loan until the balloon period is up and if he pays you, but you don't pay the mortgage, he has little recourse (he could sue you though).
