mortgage note

Secured debt paper

A mortgage note is the legal document in which a borrower promises to repay a loan used to purchase real estate.

It specifies the loan amount, interest rate, payment schedule, and consequences of default.

The note represents the debt itself, while the mortgage secures it against the property: The bank sold our mortgage note to another lender.

If payments stop, the note holder can foreclose.
