A mortgage is a loan from a bank or other lender used to buy or refinance a home.
A mortgage is a secured loan: real estate acts as collateral when the loan is repaid in monthly installments, including interest, usually for a period of 15 to 30 years. If you do not pay, the lender could foreclose you.
You will not be able to fully own your home until the mortgage is paid off. If you reach this milestone, you will need to check to see if the lien on your property has been removed by contacting your local secretary of state or county registrar. Your creditor must also return the original bill of exchange to you.
