MORTGAGES

Mortgages can simply be thought of as temporary contracts through which one party pledges payment to another party over the course of a pre-determined time frame, in exchange for some form of property. In short, the house serves as collateral until the debt is paid. Contracts allow for the total cost of a property to be broken up into monthly installments. In terms of purchasing a home, costs can range from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars. There aren't too many people who have it within their means to make such an expensive purchase, so payment is broken down, and a mortgage is drafted through which they are contracted to their creditor. Monthly payments make it manageable for almost anyone to purchase a home by matching a payment plan that best suits the client.
