open-end mortgage

A quick definition of open-end mortgage:

An open-end mortgage is a type of loan where a person can borrow more money against their property even after they have already taken out a mortgage. This is different from a closed-end mortgage, where a person cannot borrow more money once the mortgage is taken out. With an open-end mortgage, the borrower can keep borrowing money as long as they have equity in their property. It's like having a credit card with a limit based on the value of your home.

A more thorough explanation:

An open-end mortgage is a type of mortgage that allows the borrower to borrow additional funds against the same property. This means that the borrower can take out more money from the lender without having to go through the process of applying for a new loan.

For example, let's say a borrower takes out a $100,000 open-end mortgage on their home. After a few years, they need to make some repairs to the house and want to borrow an additional $20,000. With an open-end mortgage, they can simply request the additional funds from the lender and, if approved, the lender will add the $20,000 to the existing mortgage balance.

Open-end mortgages are useful for borrowers who may need to borrow additional funds in the future, such as for home improvements or unexpected expenses. They can save time and money by avoiding the need to apply for a new loan each time they need more money.
