A mortgage loan is a loan secured by real property through the use of a mortgage 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 many countries, though not all (Iran and Bali, Indonesia are two exceptions), it is normal for home purchases to be funded by a mortgage loan. Few individuals have enough savings or liquid funds to enable them to purchase property outright. In countries where the demand for home ownership is highest, strong domestic markets have developed.

Why isn't McCain considered a socialist for wanting the government to buy bad mortgages?
Q. In the past weeks, Obama has been called a socialist because of his tax plans which would benefit the middle class. McCain, however, in the second debate, mentioned that he wanted the government to buy up bad mortgages, which is far closer to socialism than anything Obama has said. Why are the people railing on Obama not railing on McCain for his plans?

A. The Republicans don't use such words on their own. They are also apparently unaware that it is virtually impossible to buy up bad mortgages when they have been repackaged and sold off a dozen times.

Q. If the dollar completely collapses, what will happen to mortgages, student loans, and credit card debts? Will people still be required to pay the loans back?

How can congress pass legislation allowing bankruptcy judges to change terms on already written mortgages?
Q. It seems like this would be challanged (sucessfully) in court since the laws when the contract was signed didnt allow modification. I can understand how they could mandate that future mortgages are capable of being modified but not those already written... seems kinda like ex post facto.
Asked by Casey C - Sun Feb 24 21:13:23 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. 1. Ex post facto means that Congress is prohibited from making a law retroactively punitive. i.e. Congress couldn't pass a law saying that drinking is illegal again and punish people who drank before the law went into effect. It affects criminal statutes only. 2. Congress is just being Congress. They know there is a large likelyhood that this can be overturned. They just want to tell peopl that they tried.
