A loan is a type of debt. Like all debt instruments, a loan entails the redistribution of financial assets over time, between the lender and the borrower.

In a loan, the borrower initially receives or borrows an amount of money, called the principal, from the lender, and is obligated to pay back or repay an equal amount of money to the lender at a later time. Typically, the money is paid back in regular installments, or partial repayments; in an annuity, each installment is the same amount. The loan is generally provided at a cost, referred to as interest on the debt, which provides an incentive for the lender to engage in the loan. In a legal loan, each of these obligations and restrictions is enforced by contract, which can also place the borrower under additional restrictions known as loan covenants. Although this article focuses on monetary loans, in practice any material object might be lent.

Acting as a provider of loans is one of the principal tasks for financial institutions. For other institutions, issuing of debt contracts such as bonds is a typical source of funding.

What Loan company will take over my federal student loans when the loans are in forbearance?
Q. What Loan company will take over my federal student loans when the loans are in forbearance so I can go back to school? My loans are government loans from Saillie Mae. I owe them under $5000. I heard about this company that will take over your school loans from them but I don't know the name of the company.

A. No one will "take over" your loans. You will still owe the money to your lender when you are in forbearance. They will simply add interest every month while you are making payments. If you are asking about defaulting the lender will just contract out with a collection agency to start calling and hounding you to mail them payments. If you make 6 to 12 months worth of willing and reasonable payments you can ask your lender to "rehabilitate" your loan. This is when you are issued a new loan and pay off the one in default so you can get federal fin aid again. Again, rehabilitation can only be done after you have made 6 to 12 months of payments.

Should I REFINANCE a construction loan to a permanent loan OR convert to a permanent loan?
Q. It seems that interest rates are much lower for refinancing existing loans, as opposed to new loans. I have a construction loan which doesn't expire for a few months, would it be better to refinance the construction loan to a permanent mortgage or do a construction to permanent conversion loan? Which will get me a lower interest rate?
Asked by Whitney - Tue Oct 13 11:22:29 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Generally the lender will lower the rate when you convert and the closing fees will be lower. I'd start with my current lender
