A mortgage is a loan that uses other property as a security. Mortgages are generally taken on real estate properties rather than other movable properties. Home mortgages are taken to buy the same home on which the mortgage is taken. Like in other states in the US, there are two parties in a Maryland mortgage: the creditor (who gives the loan) and the debtor (who takes the loan). Other parties can be a legal advisor, a mortgage broker and a financial advisor. Like conventional loans, mortgages can be repaid in various ways: capital and interest, interest-only, no capital or interest (reverse /lifetime/equity release mortgages), interest and partial capital, etc. Other kinds of Maryland mortgages are second mortgages; refinance mortgages and bad credit mortgage loans.
