Canadian Mortgages
Canadian Mortgages:
Mortgage: A mortgage loan, also referred to as a mortgage, is used by purchasers of real property to raise funds to buy real estate; or by existing property owners to raise funds for any purpose while putting a lien on the property being mortgaged. The loan is "secured" on the borrower's property. This means that a legal mechanism is put in place which allows the lender to take possession and sell the secured property ("foreclosure" or "power of sale") to pay off the loan in the event that the borrower defaults on the loan or otherwise fails to abide by its terms.
