Which of the following is the term for a loan secured by a mortgage on a property that is already subject to one or more prior recorded mortgages or deeds of trust?

Primary mortgage loan
Reverse mortgage loan
Second mortgage loan
Variable mortgage loan

The correct answer is: Primary mortgage loan

The correct term for a loan secured by a mortgage on a property that already has one or more prior recorded mortgages or deeds of trust is known as a second mortgage loan. This type of loan allows homeowners to leverage the equity in their property while there are existing first mortgage loans. In the context of secured loans, a primary mortgage loan refers to the first lien on the property, while a reverse mortgage loan is specifically designed for older homeowners who want to convert part of their home equity into cash without having to sell their home. A variable mortgage loan pertains to a mortgage with an interest rate that can change over time, affecting the monthly payments accordingly. Each of these other options addresses different aspects of mortgage lending, but does not correctly define a loan that is subordinate to an existing mortgage or deed of trust, which is why they are not the correct choice in this context.
