A home loan, also known as a mortgage, is a type of loan used to purchase or refinance a home. It is secured by the property itself, meaning that the lender can seize the property if the borrower defaults on the loan.
Home loans are typically long-term loans, with terms ranging from 15 to 30 years. The interest rate on a home loan is typically fixed for the life of the loan, although some loans may have adjustable rates. The amount of money that you can borrow for a home loan is based on a number of factors, including your income, your credit score, and the value of the home.
