Welcome to Vocab 101, folks! Today’s word of the day is “Amortization”
Q: “What is Amortization?” & “How Amortization Works in Real Estate?”
A: Amortization refers to the process of gradually paying off a debt, typically through fixed periodic payments over a specific period of time.
Let me explain..
When you take out a mortgage to purchase a property, the loan amount is usually large and needs to be repaid over an extended period, often spanning several decades. Amortization allows you to make regular payments, typically monthly, that include both the principal amount borrowed and the accrued interest.
The benefit of amortization is that it allows homeowners to spread out the cost of purchasing a property over time, making it more affordable. It also helps to build equity in the property over time!
