What is a mortgage?
A mortgage is a loan from a financial institution such as Homeowners Financial Group to be used by a borrower to finance the purchase of a property. Mortgages help those with stable income and adequate credit history to purchase a home by bridging the gap between the available down payment and the purchase price of the property. Mortgages called refinances can help you access some of the equity in a property already owned. If renovations or repairs are needed, such as the addition of a new bedroom or upgrading the kitchen, a refinance could be a great option to help you attain the money needed to complete the project. In all cases, the financial institution lending designates the property as collateral (security for repayment) until the full loan has been paid off.
Typically a borrower will make monthly payments on the principal of the mortgage, interest, and any taxes. Paying off the principal builds equity or the amount of money that the homeowner has gained on the home.
