🏠 What is a Mortgage?
US Capital Private Bank – Lending & Real Estate Finance Knowledge Base
🔍 Definition
A mortgage is a type of secured loan specifically used to finance the purchase of real estate, such as residential homes, commercial properties, or land. The borrower receives funds from a lender to buy property and agrees to repay the loan over a set period, typically with interest.
The property itself serves as collateral for the loan, meaning the lender holds a legal claim over the property until the mortgage is fully repaid.
⚙️ How Does a Mortgage Work?
-
The borrower applies for a mortgage to purchase a property.
-
The lender evaluates creditworthiness, income, and property value.
-
Once approved, the loan amount is disbursed to the borrower or directly to the seller.
-
The borrower repays the loan in regular installments over the mortgage term (e.g., 15, 20, or 30 years).
-
If the borrower defaults, the lender has the right to foreclose and sell the property to recover the outstanding loan balance.
