Preferred term

mortgage revenue bonds  

Definition

  • When a household buys a home, it is usually necessary to borrow money to finance the purchase because the price of the home is high relative to the household's income. Saving for the down payment often takes time and sacrifice; saving the full purchase price is virtually impossible. [Source: The Encyclopedia of Housing; Mortgage Revenue Bonds]
