Mortgage loans in Northwest Territories

What a mortgage is

Mortgage loans: Borrowing against residential property, including how a federally regulated lender tests the file.

A mortgage is secured by residential property, and federally regulated lenders apply a qualifying test to the file before the amount is set.

Insurance on the asset is commonly required while the security is in place.

Default puts the asset at risk, which is the trade a borrower makes for the lower price.
