π Understanding Home Loans π
Before we delve into the details of my home loan, itβs important to understand what a home loan is and how it works. A home loan, also known as a mortgage, is a loan that is taken out to purchase a property. The loan is secured by the property itself, which means that if the borrower defaults on the loan, the lender has the right to foreclose on the property to recover their money.
When you take out a home loan, youβll need to pay back the loan amount plus interest over a set period of time. Home loans are typically repaid over a period of 15 to 30 years, although some lenders offer shorter or longer repayment terms.
