A mortgage is a loan to finance the purchase of your home. Similar to a car loan, your home is used as collateral for the loan. A mortgage is also a legal contract you sign to promise that you'll repay the loan with interest and other costs, typically over 15 to 30 years.
To repay the loan, you would make monthly installments or payments that typically include the principal loan amount, interest, taxes and insurance. If you don't repay the loan, your lender has the right to take back the property and sell it to cover the debt.
