Glossary - Mortgage
A mortgage is a type of loan specifically used to purchase real estate. In this arrangement, the buyer borrows money from a lender (often a bank) and agrees to pay back the borrowed amount, plus interest, over a set period of time. The property itself serves as collateral for the loan, which means that if the borrower fails to make payments, the lender can seize the property to recoup their funds.
