Read a random definition: heritable property

A quick definition of general mortgage:

A general mortgage is when someone borrows money to buy property and uses that property as security for the loan. If they don't pay back the loan, the lender can take the property. There are many different types of mortgages, like ones with adjustable interest rates or ones where you only pay interest at first. Some mortgages cover multiple properties, while others only cover one. It's important to understand the terms of your mortgage so you can make your payments on time and keep your property.

A more thorough explanation:

A general mortgage is a type of mortgage that is used as security for the payment of a debt or the performance of a duty. It becomes void upon payment or performance according to the stipulated terms. The general mortgage can be defined as:

Definition: A conveyance of title to property that is given as security for the payment of a debt or the performance of a duty and that will become void upon payment or performance according to the stipulated terms.

For example, if a person takes out a loan to buy a house, the house is used as collateral for the loan. If the person fails to make the payments on the loan, the lender can foreclose on the house and sell it to recover the debt.

Other types of mortgages include adjustable-rate mortgages, balloon-payment mortgages, and conventional mortgages. Each type of mortgage has its own terms and conditions that must be met by the borrower.

"Have you applied for admission to [school] in a prior year" I applied in Oct. of the 23-24 cycle, should I put 23 or 24 as the year I applied?

12:09
Bcuz 2023 is when I technically applied but I applied for admissions in 2024
12:14
2024 cuz that's when you would've been admitted
I agree with Howl
12:19
Gecko what's ur dream school
Hard to say. I'm pretty firmly committed to the philly area so probably temple or villanova
Also relatively debt averse so I'd have to get a good scholarship from BC or Fordham to want to go but that's not very likely for me
Any advice? lol

12:25
what’s a good scholarship for you? what would make BC or Fordham worth it?
12:25
Hmmmm let me think

fordham’s max aid they give is 45k per year
Bunny I can possibly get a 75%+ scholarship from villanova or temple, and I'd be moving back in with my parents if I went there so I'd have near-zero COL. It'd be really hard to beat that
I would prefer BC over Fordham just because I like boston more, but I'm expecting a WL there tbh
I would maybe consider BC with $ but I don't know how to decide if a better biglaw chance is worth the COL + higher tuition

How do I know if my status checkers are properly linked
12:59
@ChowieBean: right now, Michigan, but there are several that come close. How about you?
13:05
@Law01: I haven't gotten the status checkers to work at all. When I sent an email to the LSData folks the other week, they said they were working on fixing them
13:10
but I think "Last Checked" would change from "Never" to something else
13:30
@HowlEngineer: I'll get more specific once I get my LSAT score, but NYU, Berk, GTown, UCLA
13:30
Anywhere that's top for PI

[] baddestbunny
16:01
They make the Yale app a lot of work to filter out the people who don’t really want it like that
16:25
