Finance

An Iowa homeowner has a mortgage with a due-on-sale clause. This clause means:

AThe property must be sold if the mortgage payments are not made
BThe entire outstanding loan balance becomes due when the property is sold or transferred✓ Correct
CThe seller must pay off the mortgage at closing from sale proceeds
DThe buyer must refinance within one year of purchase

Explanation

A due-on-sale clause (also called an acceleration clause) in a mortgage requires the full outstanding loan balance to be paid immediately upon sale or transfer of the property. This prevents buyers from assuming old mortgages without lender approval.
