A mortgage commitment is an agreement between a lender and a borrower to lend money at a future date, subject to the conditions described in the agreement. It is a critical step in the home-buying or construction process, which signifies the lender's intention to offer financing upon meeting specific requirements.
A permanent mortgage is a long-term financing option, typically over 10 years, used to finance the purchase or sustainment of a real estate property. It becomes fully amortized over time and is often used in conjunction with construction loans.
