What is a Home Loan Mortgage?
A home loan mortgage is a type of loan specifically designed for the purchase of real estate. In a typical mortgage agreement, the borrower agrees to pay back the loan over a set period, usually with interest. The home serves as collateral, which means the lender can take ownership if the borrower defaults on the loan.
