i have a question about mortgages.
for example i buy a house with bank loans. the house costs 1000000$. the bank loans to me 900000$.

throught the course of 5 years i paid half of the loan at 450000$. now say i get sick and cannot work anymore so i cant pay the rest of the loan.

NOW, what does the bank do? do they come and take my house?

if the answer is YES they take your house, THEN do they RETURN to me the 450000$ that i paid? do they give me back the money i paid?

or do they keep the 450k you paid AND THEY ALSO take your house. thus they took TWO things from you: your money AND your house.

ISNT THAT A SCAM????? if theyr gonna take the house then THEY MUST pay you back the money you paid, otherwise that is called STEALING. if i pay PARTIALLY for something, and that something is repossessed by the bank then THEY HAVE TO GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK.

No not all.

Its a secured loan with the understanding you are to pay back the loan or forfeit the instrument.

Hi loomb

I agree with Parmoney. When you take a mortgage, you place the property as a collateral to the loan. This makes the loan secure. So if you are not able to pay the total amount of loan back to the lender he will have all the right to take away your property as well the money you paid to him.

Thanks.
