When I look at the comparables over the last 3 months the average sale price is about $235 per square foot, which would put me only at a resale value of $495,000 ...not worth it.However, there are comps from January of 2022 through July of 2022 that strongly support $300 per square foot putting the resale price of the house at $630,000... totally worth it.My real estate agent, that I've worked closely with for the last 4 years and have probably done about 15 deals with, ensures me she will definitely get $595,000 minimum for this property, and if I knew that for sure I would do the deal.

As mentioned earlier, only a few mortgage types can be truly assumed, mainly FHA and VA loans.Yes, if you only are making over the payments then the debt stays with the seller and transferring the title to you is more complicated.In the end, the starting point is making sure the numbers work.
