What's a secured promissory note with amortized payment?

A promissory note is an agreement to pay back a loan. Secured means that the loan is guaranteed by security or collateral. 'Amortized payments' means the borrower will pay down the interest and principal of the loan in equal installment payments but in different proportions until the total amount is paid. This document is mainly used to give your lender confidence by outlining the terms of your loan and repayment plan. Initially, the borrower will be repay a higher rate of interest and later a higher principal rate, although the payment amount remains the same.
