Land Mortgage

Basic Land Mortgage Facts:

In a Land Mortgage, the home owner makes no payments and all interest is added to the lien on the property. If the owner receives monthly payments, then the debt on the property increases each month. If a property has increased in value after a Land Mortgage is taken out, it is possible to acquire a second (or third) reverse mortgage over the increased equity in the home.
