Mortgages

A mortgage is a document by which an owner transfers to a lender an interest in real estate to secure a debt. When the debt is repaid, the mortgage is discharged. Mortgage interest rates can be fixed, adjustable, and variable. Mortgages frequently involve many fees, including origination fees, points, broker fees, private mortgage insurance costs, and closing costs. Borrowers frequently form lock agreements with lenders that guarantee a loan's interest rate and points for a specified number of days. Mortgages are subject to numerous laws, including the Truth in Lending Act. If a borrower fails to comply with the terms of a mortgage, the lender may utilize the foreclosure process to sell or repossess the property.
