We may invest in residence/ home, commercial property, office spaces, or even buy commercial or residential plots. Apart from adding to assets in our balance sheets, the property also helps you to raise funds in our emergencies by taking a loan on the property.
Since all loans include property they are termed as the secured loans. There are 9 types of loans that you can get on a property. They are as below:
1) Home Loan
