A 'mortgage holder' is essentially the same as a mortgagee: the lender in a mortgage agreement, typically a bank or financial institution. 🏦 They hold the mortgage as security until the loan is fully repaid. They have the right to foreclose on the property if the borrower defaults. The terms 'mortgagee' and 'mortgage holder' are often used interchangeably. They represent the entity providing the funds for a home purchase.
