How Do Assumable Mortgages Work? (24/25)


Description
Now that interest rates are 7% and higher, younger (less experienced) brokers need to understand how and when to employ sellers’ assumable mortgages. The purpose of this course is to help brokers identify mortgages that could be assumable or taken subject to or “wrapped” and discuss the legal issues and consequences for borrowers.

In addition, this course will review concepts such as mortgage contracts (mortgage deeds and deeds of trust); mortgage notes; due-on-sale and acceleration clauses; and novation.

It is the intent of this course to familiarize real estate licensees with these complex regulations and issues and to provide them with the information to respond appropriately to consumer questions about assumptions, subject tos, and wraparounds.
