How to best market my Assumable VA Loan

Hi All,

I'm ready to sell an investment property in NoVa to a VA eligible buyer but am not finding a good place to market this. I have a 2.5% assumable VA loan with over $520k remaining and the homes price is $785,000.

I considered posting in community forums on FB but that’s not allowed. Ideally I’d like to leave my realtor out of this sale due to their high price tag in my area. Is it advisable to try for sale by owner on Zillow or does anyone have any other recommendations to market this property?

People buy a house because the house fits their needs, financing is icing on the cake. Market the house on the attributes of the house. If you can mention assumable mortgages, dandy, but get the house itself in front of people first.

    While it's tempting to sell without an agent, make sure you fully understand the process to avoid any legal or contractual issues. Consider hiring a real estate attorney to assist with paperwork and ensure the transaction goes smoothly. Offering a competitive seller incentive, like covering closing costs, might also attract more buyers. Lastly, don't forget about marketing outside of just digital listings—direct mail campaigns to military bases or VA-approved buyer lists could give you additional leads.
