Assignment: The written transfer of an interest in a lease of mortgage. The lessee, or assignor transfers the remainder of the term and the assignee becomes liable ot the original lessor for the rent.

Balloon Payment Mortgage: A mortgage in which monthly installments are not large enough to repay the loan by the end of the term. As a result, the final payment due is the lump sum of the remaining principal. It is common for these loans to be rather short terms, less than 10 years.

Bridge Loan: Bridge loans are loans intended to be used for a short period of time between the initial requuirements for funds and a permanent, usually less costly, financial solution.

Commercial Lender: Commercial lenders offer a variety of mortgage-backed loans for commercial property. Each commercial lender sets economic, demographic, and geographic criteria.

Deed of Trust: A three party security instrument conveying the legal title to real property as security for the repayment of a loan. The three parties included in a deed of trust are the borrower, lender, and trustee.

Fair Market Value: The price a property would sell for on the open market.

First Mortgage: The primary mortgage on a property that has priority over all other voluntary liens.

Hard Money: A hard money loan when the borrower's situation does not conform with common real estate lenders' standards for funding. Real estate provides the collateral for a hard money loan.

Hard Money Lender: A lender who offers loan funding based on real estate as the primary collateral asset.

Lien: A legal claim upon real or personal property for the satisfaction of a debt.

Personal Property: Property other than real property (real estate) consisting of things that are temporary or movable.

Point: A point is 1 percent of the amount of the mortgage.

Pre-Approval A loosely used term which is generally taken to mean that a borrower has completed a loan aplication and provided debt, income, and savings documentation which an underwriter has reviewed and approved. This process is independent of, and previous to, the same underwriting review of a property.

Prepayment Penalty: A charge, usually given as a percentage, that is listed in the origination terms of a loan.

Non-Conforming Loan: A non-conforming loan refers to a type of loan that does not meet bank standards for funding. The flexibility of private money can allow for a much wider range of projects to be funded, although additional collateral and documentation may be required by the lender.

Underwriting: The process that lenders go through to evaluate the risks posed by a particular borrower and to set appropriate conditions for the loan.
