A mortgage loan, commonly referred to as a mortgage, is a type of loan that is specifically designed for purchasing real estate properties, such as a home or a commercial property. It is a long-term loan typically secured by the property itself, which means that if the borrower fails to repay the loan, the lender has the right to foreclose and take possession of the property to recover the outstanding debt.
When individuals or businesses do not have enough funds to purchase a property outright, they can apply for a mortgage loan from a financial institution such as a bank, credit union, or mortgage lender. The lender evaluates the borrower's creditworthiness, income, and other relevant factors to determine their eligibility for the loan and the terms and conditions of the mortgage.
