Before jumping to a big decision like having a mortgage, we have to see to it if we can afford to pay in the long run. Maintain a good credit history, ensure you have a record of continuous employment for at least the last 12 months.
A mortgage is a surety pledged by a loaner or guarantors for obtaining a loan from a person(s) or a financial institution. If you are in need of loan from a financial institution they will get your property (movable or immovable) mortgaged as surety for the the loan. Some times, the properties of guarantors are also mortgaged as security.
In my area, I have seen many people have sell their houses because they can’t afford to pay the mortgage. That is why hubby and I think many times if we will push through our Mortgage loan in the bank because we are afraid we afford to pay up to 25 to 30 years.
A friend of mine wants to put up a business and she decided to took out a mortgage of her house. When she started her business, it runs pretty pretty good but later on her business is losing. She ended up with problems because her house has been mortgage in the bank. We realized, it is important to seek a good financial advice before we will start a housing loan.
