Loan Assumed on Apartment Buy

PHOENIX-The 98-unit Silver Tree Apartments' buyers assumed the property's long-term loan because of its interest rate, which was lower than the market rate. Orion Multifamily brokers, who negotiated the deal, believe more assumptions are on the way as debt becomes expensive.
