When seeking a home mortgage, the home you possess is held as security, and interest is charged on the money you have borrowed. Your home mortgage will be paid back over a defined time period usually 25-30 years, which is called amortization. Your amortization will then be broken down into sections that outline the interest rate, the length of your term, and will confirm if you have chosen to enter a variable or fixed type of mortgage.

When deciding on a type and size of mortgage, your main goal should always be to lower borrowing costs as much as possible by exploring all your options. Despite common beliefs this does not always mean choosing the mortgage offering the lowest rate. You must think thoroughly about your entire financial situation and predicted life path so you can choose the mortgage that will best suit your current and future financial position.
