Veterans Administration loan officials advise veterans with GI loan guaranties to insist on refinancing by the new buyer. A veteran remains liable on the original mortgage even if the buyer assumes payments or takes ownership by deed unless the new owner arranges their own mortgage. A later deficiency judgment could be possible if the buyer defaults.
