Many people used to call a home loan as a Mortgage. So let us see make a Comparison between mortgage and home loan

• Loan is the money which is borrowed by an individual, financial firm or the Bank to another individual or the small firm for a specific period and is due to be repaid with interest after a specific period. Home Loan is also a type of loan which is given to an individual who has to repay this amount with interest in a specific period. Most of the home loans are borrowed to an individual in the lieu of the guarantor, that individual provides to the bank. According to the international rules of banking the guarantor must be a person who is associated in some or the other way with the bank. Some banks even give the loan to a person based on the person’s (financial) reputation or the credit in the market.

• On other hand Mortgage is the security deposit which is taken from the borrower and which has the same face value as the loan which is paid to the borrower by the bank. Thus Mortgage is a type of legal document or a type of legal contract which protects the lender’s interests in the borrower’s property. For example tangible assets like the house or the car or the ornaments that posses the equivalent face-value as the amount of the loan are mortgaged. So even if the borrower fails to repay the loan after a specific period the lender could recover the loan amount selling the tangible assets of the borrower.

Thus we have seen the comparison between mortgage and home loan.

Now let us discuss about the types of Mortgage Companies which give loan to an individual as well as other firms.

Types of Mortgage Companies:

There are two types of Mortgage Companies mainly the Best Mortgage Companies and the Bad Credit Mortgage Companies.

• Best Mortgage Companies like Wells Fargo and Wachovia Mortgage companies are based in USA.

• Bad Credit Mortgage Companies like Synovus Financial and Golden West Financial Corporation which are also situated in the USA.

• Best mortgage companies are those Mortgage Companies which provide various types of loans and mortgages in the best possible way.

• Bad credit mortgage companies are those companies which give a loan to the borrower with a bad credit score (given by the credit system) against assets of the same value at high rate of interest.

We know that the rate of interest is charged on every loan amount. Loan Calculator is used to calculate this interest.

A Home Loan can be a small transaction which can consist of a less amount of money while Mortgage is an always a large transaction in which transaction amount is very high. This is the main point of comparison between mortgage and home loan.

A Home Loan is a transaction in which a friend or a relative gives money to another friend or relative with or without interest. This is not the case of Mortgage. This is an important comparison between mortgage and home loan.

Thus it is better to consult the loan consultant and take an advice from him as to which firms offer loans at the reasonable rate of interest and extended period.

Look before you leap. Think twice and act wise before applying for a home loan by mortgaging your belongings. Search for other avenues and options after making comparison between mortgage and home loan.

Charles Essmeier asked:




The mortgage industry has long been able to adapt to changing market conditions. When interest rates rose to double-digit levels in the late 1970′s, the industry made more adjustable-rate mortgages available. When the savings rate began to drop and Americans had less to put down on homes, the industry made more flexible loan products available that did not require as large a down payment. And now, as immigrants begin to comprise a larger and larger portion of our population, the lending industry is begun to introduce loans that are tailored to an immigrant population that may not have solid credit histories or Social Security numbers.

These loans, known as ITIN loans, are offered to illegal immigrants that do not have a Social Security number. They can qualify for the loans by obtaining an Individual Taxpayer Identification number (ITIN) from the Internal Revenue Service. The IRS issues these numbers to people who are required to pay taxes but are ineligible for a Social Security number. The government uses these numbers for tax purposes only. A few small banks, as well as national banks Citibank and Wells Fargo, have started to issue loans to customers who have an ITIN but not a Social Security number. Most of these loans have been issued in California, but they will probably be available in other places soon.

The process of obtaining an ITIN loan is somewhat more complicated than that of applying for a conventional mortgage. Applicants with an ITIN usually have a credit history that is less well documented. As a result, the usual background work required issuing such a loan is more complicated and more time consuming than for a conventional mortgage. In addition, fees and interest rates will tend to be higher than for other types of loans in order to compensate lenders for the additional trouble and additional risk.

While there is plenty of opposition to lending money to people who are here illegally, few would argue that a neighborhood that consists of homeowners, rather than renters, is a better neighborhood for everyone. Owners are much more likely to take care of their property and show concern for the neighborhood as a whole than are renters. Thus, any lending plan which encourages people to buy, rather than rent, is good for everyone.
