direct reduction mortgage (DRM)

Definition

Mortgage loan in which at least a portion of each installment payment goes toward reducing the principal borrowed. In a DRM, interest is computed every month on the reducing principal balance resulting in a progressively smaller interest amount. Since the amount of monthly payment is fixed, the portion applied to the principal increases as the interest amount decreases.
