A quick glossary of common mortgage terms helps you understand loan commitments and closing documents.
A promissory note is a written promise to repay the loan under specified terms, including amount, rate, and repayment schedule.
A Closing Disclosure itemizes the final loan terms, projected costs, and settlement charges for the borrower.
The interest rate sets the cost of borrowing and can be fixed or adjustable based on the loan.
