What is a mortgage?

A mortgage is a legal document that pledges your property as security (like collateral) for a loan.

How do mortgages work?

When a bank or other financial institution provides a loan for the purchase of real estate, a mortgage interest is created. The bank's loan is secured by an interest in the property. Mortgages can be fixed rate (interest rates and monthly payments stay the same throughout the life of the loan) or adjustable (interest rates may vary with economic changes and monthly payments change accordingly). Some government programs offer special mortgage rates or programs for veterans or other individuals. Some homeowners will take on a second mortgage or a home equity loan secured by their property for home improvement or other financial needs. All of these mortgage interests can be foreclosed if the homeowner does not meet his or her financial obligations under the loan.
