A mortgage and lending review is a focused assessment of loan-related documents and terms to confirm accuracy, legality, and alignment with your goals for the property purchase.
Key elements include the promissory note, mortgage or deed of trust, disclosures, title status, escrow terms, fees, and the overall loan timeline. The process typically involves document review, risk assessment, clarification with lenders, and recommendations before closing.
This glossary explains common terms you may encounter when reviewing mortgage and lending documents.
A promissory note is a written agreement to repay a specific amount of money under agreed terms, including payment schedule and interest rate.
A mortgage is a loan secured by real property, giving the lender a lien if the borrower defaults.
In some states, a deed of trust is used to secure a loan with a trustee and power of sale, instead of a mortgage.
A lien is a legal claim against a property to secure repayment of a debt.
Different approaches exist when financing a real estate purchase, including conventional loans, refinancing, or seeking other arrangements. We help you compare options and choose a path that fits your situation.
