What is Collateral?

This is property or assets that are pledged as security for a loan or other obligation. In the context of real estate, collateral might include things like a mortgage or a lien on a property. If the borrower fails to fulfill their obligations under the loan or other agreement, the lender has the right to seize the collateral in order to recover the outstanding debt.
