SAN ANTONIO - BostonChron -- 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."
š Why Assumable Mortgages Matter
An assumable mortgage allows a homebuyer to step into the seller's loanākeeping 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 houseāhe got a payment plan from a different era," Perkins says. "His savings will add up to tens of thousands over time."

ā ļø The Mistake Many Buyers Are Making
According to Perkins, today's buyers often spend $20,000ā$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 loansābut buyers and agents never asked."
ā Which Loans Are Assumable?
These government-backed loans offer strong protections and transparencyāmaking the assumption process easier when guided correctly.
š¼ How Perkins Helps
Perkins actively locates off-market homes with assumable mortgages through his Perfect Home Finder system. His approach includes:
"Most agents simply aren't trained in this," Perkins says. "But the opportunity is realāand it's right under people's noses."
