SAM
Shared-Appreciation Mortgage (SAM) is a special kind of mortgage. It enables the purchaser to have the option to pay a specified amount for the loan balance through the passing along of the portion of the property’s value gain to the lender. For this special compensation, the lender charges an interest rate on the loan that is lower than the dominant market rate.
