The gradual retirement of a debt by means of partial payments of the principal at regular intervals.

Amortization Period
A time of arrangement for paying off a mortgage by equal installments or periodic constant payments. Repayments of principal and interest in “blended” amounts.

Assignment of mortgage
The assigning of a mortgagee’s interest in the mortgage to a new mortgagee. The legal sale of the mortgage with or without an agreement to repurchase.

Blended mortgage
Combining the amount owing on an existing mortgage with additional mortgage money for the purpose of buying another property. The interest rate change to one that combines the rate on the old loan with the rate in effect at the time you add additional financing.
