Home Equity
The reverse mortgage is also an adjustable rate mortgage, but is unique because the homeowner (who must be 62 years or older) is at no time obligated to make monthly payments on the loan. The amount of the equity on the home is made available to the owner in full, in monthly advances or as a line of credit, only to be repaid after the life of the owner through the sale of the home or by the family if they would like to keep the home.

Land Loan
Usually, the homebuyer places a down payment on the lot and uses a line of credit to finance the construction of the home. As construction moves along, the buyer borrows from the line of credit to finance the building. Once the construction is finished, the land loan and the line of credit are rolled into a single mortgage to be paid by the homeowner.

Other basic but important terms to understand are:

• Principal is the amount borrowed (on which interest acts) which is repaid monthly
• Amortization is the process of repaying the amount borrowed through monthly payments of principal and interest.
• Negative amortization is when the monthly payment is not high to adequately pay the loan off. In this case interest builds too quickly and the principal grows instead of decreasing. This can occur because of lender scams or because of monthly payment caps.
• Equity is the value of your house left over after subtracting the total of your mortgage. If your house has a market value of $130,000 and a mortgage of $100,000, the equity is $30,000.
• An index is used to determine the rate on an adjustable rate loan. For some loans this rate may be the Prime Rate or the average rate of a one year Government Treasury Security.
