Re: land contract and alienation clauses
"Common" depends on the lender, and the decision is usually based on the interest rate of the loan. If a lender can call a $200,000 mortgage bearing inrerest at a fixed rate of 5%, and put the money back out at 7%, it is likely to do so. It is also likely that it will leave alone a performing mortgage which bears interest at a rate higher than the current market rate if it is satisfied with its security.
