in october, my fiance' had to refinance his home due to the 2 year arm. no bank would give him the full amount on his own. he decided to ask his renter to go on the mortgage with him. well, that renter is no longer making any kind of payments. i have since moved in and am willing to assume his side of the mortgage. do you have any suggestions on how to do this. we have talked to many people at the current mortgage company, but they keep giving us the run-around. no one seems to know the answer. we would rather not pay to refinance the house again, unless of course, that is our only other option.
Hi dancin5queen,
Welcome to the forum.
Is the renter also on the deed? If not then I think if you make the payments on time that is the best thing that you can do. Why do you want to be on the mortgage and taking the financial burden?
I think mortgage assumption is not applicable in this situation. If you are buying the property then you can assume the seller's mortgage. So I think you need not to be on the mortgage if your fiancé is not quitclaim the property to you or adding you on the deed. Better you can just help him in paying the monthly payments.
Feel free to ask if you have any further questions.
Best of luck,
Larry

The "renter" is on the mortgage as well as the title and he is not making any payments. Since my fiance' does not qualify on his own, I would like to take the "renter's" place so we can ask him to leave. It is an FHA loan.
hi dancin5queen,
welcome back.
in that case that is a good decision on your part. ask the renter to quitclaim the property back to you.
but the problem here is you cannot assume as i have already mentioned above. so you will have to refinance the mortgage.
novation is another option but lenders don't always agree for that. but surely you can request the lender for novation.
feel free to ask if you have any further questions.

Hi dancinqueen,
It is true that you cannot do an assumption. But you can certainly take over the renter's part of the mortgage. And if you want that to reflect it on your credit report, the lender will require both of you to refinance the loan in your names.
Take a look at some of the faqs on refinance before you go for it.
Good luck
