How To Deal Better On a Home Loan

Basics
The loan you get from the bank is called a mortgage, also called a note.  (We'll talk more about how to get a loan in a minute.) The bank loaning the money is the lender.  The amount you pay to the bank each month is your mortgage payment.  The rate of interest on the loan is the mortgage rate (or the interest rate).
If you don't make your mortgage payments then the bank will repossess the house.  (This is called foreclosure.)  Then they'll sell it to make sure that they can recoup the money they loaned to you, and that you didn't pay back.

Do you want flexibility? These are things to keep in mind when researching mortgages.
