Answer 1

Answer:

prepayment penalty, maintain, insurance, mortgage

Explanation:

Prepayment penalty clause relates to the situation that the borrower shall not prepay the borrowed amount as to the creditor it will be loss in the form of interest, thus, it do not want that the borrower shall collect from any other source.

The property should not loose its value, or the value shall not be degraded as that will result in loss, as when the borrower fails to repay the loan, creditor has the right to sell it, if it will not be maintained the value will degrade.

Insurance is required so that same as in above mentioned point that the value is not lost, and then the value of loan is fully recoverable.

If the value of loan exceeds 80% of value of property there shall be mortgage as the lender ensures his payment and no failure shall be there.
