The idea behind them is to measure the risk of a loan. Something very useful to know not only if it is worthwhile to finance an operation, but also what interest to demand in return: the higher the risk, the higher the risk.<\/p><h2>What is a mortgage guarantee?<\/h2><p>Guarantees are a further step in the process of taking care of oneself. Normally, the borrower is liable with all his assets &#8211; present and future &#8211; to meet his obligation. But sometimes, the creditor -the one who gives the loan- can demand something more than solvency. Guarantees are just that: mechanisms that guarantee that the creditor will be able to recover its money.<\/p><h2>Types of mortgage collateral<\/h2><h3>Real guarantees<\/h3><p>There are <strong>two main types of guarantees, personal and real.<\/strong> The former involve a third party: it is established that another person will take over the debt in the event that the borrower is unable to do so. Real guarantees are so called because they are linked to a real, tangible asset that can be executed. In other words, they establish that whoever puts up the money will keep an asset if the borrower is unable to repay. The <em>real<\/em> aspect also has to do with their effectiveness, which is not subject to legal battles, so to speak.<\/p><h3>Personal guarantees<\/h3><p>Within these security interests there are several types. Some of the most common ones are the pledge and the mortgage -what we are going to talk about in this article-. There are two main differences between pledge and mortgage. The first is that <strong>in a pledge it is a movable asset that is pledged as collateral:<\/strong> an automobile, merchandise, credit instruments, etc. In addition, with the pledge, ownership is transferred: the creditor is the new owner of the property used as collateral.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The ranges of the mortgage guarantee<\/h2><p>The mortgage is perhaps the most common form of collateral. In a mortgage-backed loan &#8211; a classic form of <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.urbanitae.com\/en\/2023\/01\/20\/8-what-are-the-debt-projects-like-crowdlending\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">real estate crowdlending<\/a> &#8211; the borrower offers a property as collateral. <strong>If he fails to pay in a timely manner, the lender can keep that property.<\/strong> Unlike a pledge, the assets are real estate. And ownership of the collateral remains with the borrower.<\/p><p>The gold standard of real estate collateral is the first-ranking mortgage collateral. This guarantee is the one we have described: if the customer defaults on payment, the financier can foreclose and take the property in question. <strong>This is, in fact, what happens with mortgage loans for home purchases.<\/strong> Normally the bank lends you up to 80% of the value of the house (that is, a <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.urbanitae.com\/en\/2023\/05\/07\/what-is-loan-to-value\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">loan-to-value<\/a> of 80%) and, if things go wrong, it keeps the property.<\/p><p>The <em>first rank<\/em> or <em>first degree<\/em> has to do with the order of collection: there is no one else first. The contrast with a second-ranking mortgage is clear. In this case, there is already a mortgage on the property, so the new mortgage is subordinate to the first. In the event of default, the lender of the first-ranking mortgage has the first right of refusal to foreclose and recover the money lent before any other creditor with a lower-ranking mortgage.<\/p><p>A debt <a href=\"https:\/\/urbanitae.com\/proyectos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">project<\/a> (real estate crowdlending) that has first-ranking mortgage collateral gives quite a bit of peace of mind. But, <strong>when investing, you should always examine the conditions<\/strong> in detail and, above all, understand what has to happen to make money\u2026 and what could happen to reduce the expected return or even lose money.
