Amortization
The amount of principal and interest paid each month over the duration of the loan/mortgage.
Amortization is a financial term often used in the real estate industry and refers to the process of gradually paying off a debt, such as a mortgage, over a specified period.
What is Amortization?
Amortization is the process of paying off a debt over time, usually through a series of regular payments. In the context of real estate, it typically refers to the process of paying off a mortgage loan. Mortgage loans are often repaid over a long period, usually between 15 and 30 years, with the borrower making regular payments to the lender.
Why Does Amortization Matter in Real Estate?
Amortization is an essential concept in real estate because it affects the amount of interest and principal that a borrower pays on a mortgage. The amount of interest paid on a mortgage decreases over time as the principal balance is reduced, while the amount of principal paid increases. This means that the borrower will pay less interest over the life of the loan and more toward the principal, which ultimately reduces the debt owed.
For example
Let's say a real estate investor purchases a property for $500,000 with a 30-year mortgage loan at a fixed interest rate of 4%. The monthly mortgage payment, including the principal and interest, would be approximately $2,387. Over the first few years of the mortgage, the majority of the payments will go towards interest payments, with a smaller portion going toward the principal. However, as the principal balance is gradually reduced over time, the amount of interest paid on the mortgage will also decrease, while the portion of the payment that goes towards the principal will increase.
How Does Amortization Work in Real Estate?
Amortization schedules are calculated using complex mathematical formulas that take into account the loan amount, interest rate, and loan term. An amortization schedule will show the borrower the breakdown of each mortgage payment, including the portion that goes toward the principal and the portion that goes toward interest.
Amortization schedules are an essential tool for borrowers to understand their mortgage payments and plan for the future. By looking at an amortization schedule, borrowers can see how their mortgage payments will change over time and how much of their payment will go towards paying down the principal balance.

All Shares will be issued in electronic form only and will not be listed or quoted on any securities exchange. After a Series’ offering has concluded, we expect that the Public Private Execution Network Alternative Trading System, or PPEX ATS (the “Secondary Trading Platform”), which is registered with the SEC and operated by North Capital Private Securities Corporation (“North Capital”), will be the only venue available for the resale of Shares. Resales of Shares will be conducted by Dalmore, as a broker-dealer member of the Secondary Trading Platform; provided, however, any such resale of Shares will be subject to federal and state securities laws and the restrictions in the Series’ Operating Agreement, and there can be no assurance that an active market for any Shares will develop on the Secondary Trading Platform, that the Secondary Trading Platform will be available to allow resales of Shares to residents of all states, or that the Secondary Trading Platform will be available at all. For these reasons, investors must be prepared to hold their Shares indefinitely.
