where a $70,000 loan could be assumed at a 9 percent rate with a remaining term of 15 years and payments of $709.99 per month. Recall that a comparable property with no special financing available would sell for $100,000 and could be financed at a market rate of 11 percent. How much more than $100,000 could the buyer pay if he or she chose to assume the 9 percent loan and still be as well off as if the property were purchased for $100,000 and financed with an 11 percent loan? We first find the present value of the payments that can be assumed using the market rate. This is the market value or cash equivalent value of the assumable loan. It represents the price at which the old loan could be sold to a new lender/investor.
