A buyer may assume an FHA-insured
mortgage by becoming the substitute mortgagor through the credit
approval process. Prior to releasing a seller from liability on the
mortgage note or for mortgages after December 15, 1989, HUD or a
Direct Endorsement (DE) lender must review the credit of the
assumer and record the approval.

Name of Law: National Housing Act
The adjustment reported in Item
13 on the OMB 83i is due to a decrease in FHA lenders seeking HUD
approval to substitute a purchaser and release a seller from
liability on an FHA-insured mortgage. This is an extension of a
currently approved collection. Using a loan assumption to purchase
an existing loan is generally not cost effective for the purchaser.
The mortgagor can, in most instances, find new financing at the
existing loan rate or possibly a lower rate. Higher interest rates
on assumable loans, combined with rising amounts of equity that
purchasers will have to pay the previous owners, makes loan
assumptions less attractive to purchasers. The HUD 92210.1 was
previously added in 2005 for this information collection request.
This document is retained by the seller and acknowledges the
release from financial obligation arising from the sell of the
property.
