• How the acceleration clause converts a long-term debt into an immediate demand for payment upon default.
• Why the alienation or due-on-sale clause is the primary barrier to mortgage assumptions by new buyers.
• That the defeasance clause is the only legally required clause, ensuring the lender releases their lien after the final payment.
