2. What is a mortgage loan?
A loan secured by real
property such as land,
home etc.
This is used to make large
real estate purchase.
The borrower has to repay
the loan over a period of time,
along with the interest.
Once the loan is paid off in
full along with the interest, the
borrower becomes the owner
of the property.
4. Pre-qualification
This is the initial step in mortgage loan process.
You supply information on your income, debts and
assets to a lender.
This can be done over phone or through internet.
After reviewing your information, the lender gives
you an idea of the mortgage amount that you can
qualify.
Lender does not pull your credit report.
Getting pre-qualified does not ensure mortgage loan.

for the entire term of the

Monthly payment amount
remains fixed for the entire
term of the loan.
Examples – 5-year fixed
rate mortgage, 30-year

12. Adjustable Rate Mortgage
Rate of interest remains fixed for an initial
period of time.
Once that initial period is over, rate varies
with some benchmark index.
The benchmark index may be – LIBOR,
COFI, US Treasury bond rate etc.
The monthly payment remains fixed in the
initial period. Thereafter, it varies.

adjustable
rate
mortgages. In 2/28 mortgage, the initial
interest rate is fixed for a period of two years
and then it varies for the remaining 28 years
of the mortgage. Same intepretation holds for
3/27 adjustable rate mortgage.
