A lien is a legal claim on assets, granted as a security interest for the payment of a debt or performance of some other obligation. The main purpose in real estate is to secure the repayment of debt through the property involved.
A fixed-rate mortgage maintains the same interest rate for the entire term of the loan, providing stability in monthly payments over time.
Amortization refers to the gradual repayment of a debt over time through regular payments, with a portion going towards both the principal and interest.
Equity is the difference between the value of the property and the amount still owed on the mortgage. It represents the amount of ownership built up in the property.
A balloon payment is a large, final payment due at the end of a loan term. It is typically much larger than the regular periodic payments made throughout the life of the loan.
An adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) features interest rates that change at specific intervals, reflecting changes in a referenced interest rate or index.
PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. It is typically required for homebuyers who make a down payment of less than 20% of the home's purchase price, protecting lenders if the borrower defaults.
A 15-year mortgage typically means lower total interest paid over the life of the loan compared to a 30-year mortgage because the loan is paid off quicker and has less time to accrue interest.
Foreclosure is a legal process where the lender takes control of a property when the borrower fails to fulfill their mortgage obligations, ultimately selling it to recover the unpaid loan balance.
A HELOC is often chosen for flexible funds access, enabling homeowners to finance significant expenses, like renovations, using the equity in their home.
