Broadly speaking, a lender or a creditor is a loan provider, that is a person or legal entity giving funds to a borrower on the condition that they will be returned within a certain period of time and in a certain amount. The basis on which the borrower must satisfy the creditor is the contract, which specifies all the conditions under which the creditor provides the funds to the borrower. In such a case, however, he or she must notify the borrower.
A non recourse loan is a secured loan (in which the collateral is most often real estate) which has a very important feature. If the borrower fails to fulfill his obligations under the loan agreement, he is liable to the lender only to the extent of the collateral, even if its value is less than the amount of the borrower’s obligations to the lender.
Of course, unsecured loans are accompanied by an increased risk of the borrower’s default, so the interest rate is much higher and the maximum loan amount is much lower than for secured loans. „The lender has the option of assigning a loan to another person“ weiterlesen
