The Mortgage in Detail<br />

The security agreement executed by the borrower pledges the<br />

property as collateral for the note. Known by most as a “mortgage,”<br />

this document, when recorded (discussed below), creates a lien in<br />

favor <strong>of</strong> the lender. The mortgage agreement is generally a standardized<br />

form approved by FNMA. While the form <strong>of</strong> note is generally the<br />

same from state to state, the mortgage form differs slightly because<br />

the legal process <strong>of</strong> foreclosure (the lender’s right to proceed against<br />

the collateral) is different in each state. See Figure 2.2.<br />

The mortgage document will state that upon default <strong>of</strong> the note,<br />

the lender can exercise its right to foreclose on the property. Foreclosure<br />

is the process <strong>of</strong> lenders exercising their legal right to proceed<br />

against the collateral for the loan (discussed later in this chapter). It<br />

also places other obligations upon the borrower, such as<br />

• maintaining the property,<br />

• paying property taxes, and<br />

• keeping the property insured.
