🔑 Rare Assumable VA Loan Opportunity – Low Cash Gap

If you’ve been looking for a low barrier-to-entry investment property in Las Vegas, this one stands out in a big way.

💰 Why this deal is different

Assumable VA loans are already hard to find—but what makes this property truly unique is the small equity gap required to take over the loan.

  • List Price: $274,990

  • Assumable Loan Balance: $256,000

  • Cash to Close Gap: ~$18,990 (plus closing costs)

👉 Most assumable deals require $50K–$150K+ to bridge the gap between price and loan balance.
👉 This one is significantly lower, making it far more accessible for investors.

🏦 What is an assumable VA loan (and why it matters)?

An assumable loan allows a buyer to take over the seller’s existing mortgage, including:

  • Interest rate

  • Remaining loan balance

  • Payment terms

This is especially valuable in today’s market if the existing loan has a below-market interest rate.

🇺🇸 What about VA entitlement?

In this case, the seller is not requiring their VA entitlement to be restored.

👉 That means:

  • The seller is leaving that portion of their entitlement tied to this property

  • This is often done when the seller:

    • is not planning to purchase another home soon, or

    • does not need to reuse their VA eligibility right away

✅ Benefit to you:

  • You can assume the loan without needing to be a veteran in cases (lender-dependent)

  • It removes a common barrier that prevents many VA assumptions from happening
