Why are the early years of the mortgage more helpful in reducing taxes than in the later years?

The early years of the interest on a mortgage are more helpful in reducing taxes than in later years given that the "interest component declines over time" (Cornett, 2012, p.112), additionally, the tax benefit of interest is even larger for longer-term loans, as longer-term mortgages have higher interest rates. Cornett (2012) states that "depending on the interest rate charges, the first payment in a mortgage consists of 75 percent to 95 percent interest" (p.112). Mortgage payments are predominantly interest with little principal in earlier years.

What are the qualifications for getting a mortgage on a house?
Good credit and some money to put down is really helpful. Think about having 20% of the price of the house on hand to put down. If you don't, then you will probably have a 1st and 2nd mortgage right off the bat (you can refinance later into one big mortgage).

What good Pokemon can you get early on in HeartGold?
By early, let's assume you mean at the third gym or before. In that case, you can trade for a Machop in the Goldenrod Department store. You can also catch a Mareep which can prove to be very helpful later on.

How long of a notice does a partner have to give when moving out and you are not on the mortgage?
Probably 30 days would be helpful so you can find another place to rent. Basically, you have to move out when asked. If you have been making payments on the house, you can later take steps in civil court to get some of the money back.

Who is responsible for mortgage payment on a survivorship deed the person who is on the warranty deed of survivorship or the estate?
The answer depends on the details: when was the mortgage granted- when was the survivorship created. If the mortgagor was the sole owner of the property when they granted that mortgage, and later created a survivorship with another, then ownership passed to the survivor subject to the mortgage. If the survivor doesn't pay the mortgage then the lender will take possession of the mortgage by foreclosure.Survivorship property does not become part of the decedent's estate and the mortgage passes with the property to the survivor.
Can the Mortgage be in your name and deed be in both your names - not married?
A lender would require that all the owners of the property execute the mortgage. If only one person signs the mortgage and it is later foreclosed, the lender would only get that person't interest. Lender would want ALL the interest conveyed in the mortgage deed.
Your name is on a quit claim deed but the mortgage is in another person name can the bank take your house?
Whoever granted the mortgage to the bank must have owned the property at that time. If they later conveyed the property to a new owner they breached their mortgage agreement with the bank and the new owner took the property subject to the mortgage. The bank can take possession of the property if the mortgage isn't paid.
What is past tense for early?
Early doesn't have a past tense. It's not a verb.
Can a tenant in common mortgage its interest?
Yes. As long as the lender will accept it. If the borrower defaults and the lender should later need to foreclose on the mortgage, it will acquire only the tenant's proportionate interest in the property and not the interest of the other co-owner(s) who didn't execute the mortgage.
If 1st mortgage is forclosed on and 2nd mortgage doesn't get any money can they sue for the balance?
Yes. The mortgage exists as collateral for the second mortgage loan. If the second mortgage loan is not satisfied at the foreclosure sale, the second mortgage lender merely loses the collateral but not the loan and it can sue the now former homeowner for the unpaid balance. This is no different than if there is insufficient money from the sale to pay the first mortgage holder in full. The first mortgage hold can file a lawsuit later to recover the deficiency between the actual loan amount and all credits the homeowner is entitled to receive.
