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.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: 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.
