The primary consideration of the lender is the \ aluc of the Past Real Estate columns and property listings are available at h ’ ww . heppner.net/heritage underlying asset being given as security. In other words, “How much is the property worth0" The other major con sideration is the ability of the borrower to meet his or her repayment obligations If the property to be pur chased is o f reasonable value, a reasonable down payment is made and the borrower shows the financial ability to make the monthly payments, senior citizen buy ers should not ex perience any unusual difficulty in arranging a mortgage 180 W.
