Mortgage: A mortgage is a financial instrument used to secure a loan or other debt obligation against a real estate property. It is a legal contract between a borrower and a lender that outlines the terms of a loan, such as the interest rate, payment amount, and loan duration. Upon completion of the loan payment, the mortgage is discharged and the property becomes legally owned by the borrower. Assignment of Rents and Profits: An Assignment of Rents and Profits is a legal document that allows a lender to take control of the rental income of a mortgaged property in the event of a default. The assignment grants the lender the right to receive any income generated by the property until the loan is paid off in full. Fixture Financing Statement Securing Revolving Line of Credit: A Fixture Financing Statement Securing Revolving Line of Credit is a legal document that allows a lender to secure a loan against a property by placing a lien on fixtures, such as appliances and other furnishings, attached to the property. The statement gives the lender the right to take possession of the fixtures if the borrower does not pay back the loan. Types of Mortgage: • Fixed Rate Mortgage: A fixed rate mortgage is a loan with an interest rate that remains the same throughout the life of the loan.

The interest rate is fixed for a certain period of time and then adjusts based on market conditions. • Reverse Mortgage: A reverse mortgage is a loan that allows seniors to access a portion of their home equity without making monthly payments. The loan does not need to be repaid until the borrower moves or passes away. • Balloon Mortgage: A balloon mortgage is a loan with a short-term repayment period that is followed by a larger balloon payment at the end of the loan term. • Jumbo Mortgage: A jumbo mortgage is a loan that is larger than the conforming loan limit set by government-sponsored enterprises.
