In these times of financial crisis, when everybody is concerned about his poor money, one thing that comes to our minds is the Loan Mortgage. But What exactly is it?

As according to wikipedia:

A mortgage loan is a loan secured by real property through the use of a note which evidences the existence of the loan and the encumbrance of that realty through the granting of a mortgage which secures the loan. However, the word mortgage alone, in everyday usage, is most often used to mean mortgage loan.

A home buyer or builder can obtain financing (a loan) either to purchase or secure against the property from a financial institution, such as a bank, either directly or indirectly through intermediaries. Features of mortgage loans such as the size of the loan, maturity of the loan, interest rate, method of paying off the loan, and other characteristics can vary considerably.

In the USA the most known companies  that offer loan mortgages are Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Buying a home is a big step and assuming a mortgage for that home is a big responsibility. Make sure you are ready for a financial commitment that could last several decades.

Ask yourself:

* Are you currently in a financial position to comfortably make the monthly mortgage payment?
* Do you have a financial cushion in case you have sudden financial difficulties (for example losing your job)?
* Are you prepared to take on a long-term financial debt?
* Do you know the risks if you cannot pay your mortgage in the future?

Owning a home has many benefits but it also has responsibilities. Be sure you are in a position to handle those responsibilities. If you don’t think you are in the position to take on such a large financial debt, this may not be the time to buy a home. Instead, focus on getting your affairs in order and building a financial cushion so you can buy a home in the future. Taking the time before buying a home to make sure you are set up for success can alleviate much stress and many problems later.
