What is an All-Purpose Mortgage?
Many property owners in Israel are unaware of the fact that they are sitting on a potential "gold mine". An all-purpose mortgage is a bank loan secured by a lien on an existing real estate property (residential apartment), allowing you to receive a significant amount of money for any purpose other than purchasing an apartment.
Unlike a housing mortgage, which is intended for purchasing the property itself, here the property is already in your ownership (or has a small mortgage on it), and you mortgage it to receive liquid cash to your bank account. This process requires precise financial planning and professional mortgage consultation guidance to ensure the terms received are optimal for you.
The major advantage is in payment distribution: while a regular bank loan is usually given for a period of up to 5-7 years with high monthly repayments, an all-purpose mortgage can be spread over up to 30 years, significantly reducing the monthly repayment and easing the family cash flow.
