Mortgages

What to know on getting a mortgage or if you're facing foreclosure.

Mortgages and financing a home purchase

Almost everyone who buys a home borrows money to pay for it. Doing so involves giving the lender a charge against the home. Learn what’s involved in getting a mortgage.

Foreclosure

If you default on your mortgage, the lender can go to court to take the property you mortgaged or sell it to pay the debt. This process is called foreclosure.
