The term mortgage can be defined as the legal device used in securing a property. A mortgage is also the method of using property as security for the payment of a debt. Mortgage insurance protects the lender against borrower default. If anyone is purchasing a home and is borrowing more than seventy five percent of the value of the property, it is required that the mortgage to be insured. This enables the buyer to purchase a home with as little as a five percent down payment.

Since mortgage insurance secures the lenders against defaulters, a home purchase with an insured mortgage and low down payment is no longer viewed as a riskier business by the lenders. Hence, an insured mortgage will help borrowers to receive the same low interest rates with a lower down payment. Even if the buyer is able to make a larger down payment, he/she may choose a high ratio mortgage, which will enable him/her to do some home improvements.
