Rural Homeownership Continuity Act of 2025
This bill modifies the USDA's 502 housing loan program to make it easier for rural homeowners to transfer properties with existing loans. It allows qualified buyers to assume a guaranteed loan when purchasing a property, releasing the original borrower from liability and transferring the loan's obligations to the new owner. The changes apply to loans guaranteed under the program after the bill's enactment, directly affecting rural homeowners and buyers in USDA loan programs. The bill also permits servicers to charge fees for transaction costs related to these loan assumptions.
