Debt
A financial amount owed to another person, company, bank, etc..

Debt-to-Income Ratio (DTI)
The ratio of total monthly debt to total monthly income.

Deed
A legal document which affects the transfer of ownership of real estate from the seller to the buyer.

Deed-in-Lieu
Short for "deed-in-lieu of foreclosure”. It is used to transfer title to the lender when the borrower is in default and wants to prevent foreclosure. The lender may or may not stop foreclosure activities if a borrower requests a deed-in-lieu. Regardless of whether or not the lender accepts the deed-in-lieu, the avoidance and non-payment of debt will more likely appear on a borrowers credit history. What a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure may prevent is having the documents prior to a foreclosure being recorded and become a matter of public record.

Deed of Trust
Same as a mortgage. Depending on the state in which the borrower will live, a deed of trust or mortgage is obtained.

Default
Failing to make payments on a loan. For first mortgages or first trust deeds, if a payment has not been made within 30 days of the date that it is due, the loan is considered to be in default.

Delinquency
Late or non-payments of principal, interest, taxes, or insurance. For the majority of mortgages, payments are due on the 1st day of the month. Although the lender may not charge a "late fee" for a number of days (usually 15 or 16 days), the payment is still considered to be late and the loan delinquent. When a payment is more than 30 days late, most lenders report the late payment to one or more of the credit bureaus (Experian, Equifax, Transunion, etc.)

Deposit
A sum of money given in advance as security of a larger amount being expected in the future. A deposit is always paid of a larger amount to be paid in the future. In the mortgage and real estate industry, this is referred to as the "earnest money deposit."

Depreciation
In the real estate and mortgage industry, the decline in property value. The opposite of appreciation.

Discount
The difference between the prima facia amount of a note/mortgage and the price at which the financial instrument is sold in the secondary market.

Discount Points
A term used in government-subsidized loans, such as F.H.A. and V.A. loans, which refers to any "points" (one percent of the loan amount) paid in addition to the 1% percent loan origination fee.

Down Payment
Money paid by a buyer from his own personal funds, as opposed to that portion of the purchase price that is financed by the lender.

Due-on-Sale Provision
A condition in a mortgage that allows the bank to demand payment in full if the borrower sells the property which serves as security for the mortgage.
