San Antonio Buyer Secures 2.375% Mortgage in 2025-Broker Reveals the Mistake Costing Buyers Thousands
Michimich.com/10297598

SAN ANTONIO - Michimich -- With mortgage rates still close to 7%, one San Antonio broker is helping buyers secure dramatically lower rates by leveraging a little-known financing strategy.

Krishna Perkins, broker/owner of Maverick Homes and Neighborhoods, recently guided homebuyer Karl Kluthe through a purchase where he assumed the seller's existing VA loan, locking in a 2.375% interest rate in 2025.

"This isn't a trick or temporary buydown," Perkins says. "It's a fully legal, lender-approved process that allows qualified buyers to take over FHA, VA, or USDA loans originated during the low-rate years between 2019 and 2022."

🔍 Why Assumable Mortgages Matter

An assumable mortgage allows a homebuyer to step into the seller's loan—keeping their low rate and favorable terms. While current mortgage rates are over 7%, assumable loans can come with rates in the 2.25% to 3.5% range.

"Karl didn't just get a house—he got a payment plan from a different era," Perkins says. "His savings will add up to tens of thousands over time."

⚠️ The Mistake Many Buyers Are Making

According to Perkins, today's buyers often spend $20,000–$40,000 on rate buydowns to make their payments manageable, without realizing that those same funds could secure an assumable loan with a much lower interest rate and shorter loan term.

"What's worse," he says, "is that many homes sold in this high-rate market had assumable loans—but buyers and agents never asked."

✅ Which Loans Are Assumable?

• FHA Loans – Common among first-time buyers
• VA Loans – Even non-veterans can assume in many cases
• USDA Loans – Available in rural and suburban areas

These government-backed loans offer strong protections and transparency—making the assumption process easier when guided correctly.

💼 How Perkins Helps

Perkins actively locates off-market homes with assumable mortgages through his Perfect Home Finder system. His approach includes:

• Connecting with sellers who may not know their loan is assumable
• Vetting homes with low-rate government-backed loans
• Guiding buyers through the FHA, VA, or USDA assumption process

"Most agents simply aren't trained in this," Perkins says. "But the opportunity is real—and it's right under people's noses."
