Most home loans amortize over 30 years, meaning they are paid off during that time via payments of interest and principal sufficient to pay off a loan by maturity.
The terms of the loan may differ, such as a 5/25, where the loan is fixed for 5 years, then becomes adjustable for the next 25 years.
Terms may also include interest-only options, interest rate caps, and other information about how the loan amortizes, or is paid off during that 30 years.
