This means that if you pay off the loan too early, then you'll pay a 1-5% fee off the loan amount. paying off the loan early means you either refinance or you sell the property, both would trigger a prepayment penalty to the lender. that being said, you can choose your prepay options, 5yr usually giving you a better interest rate by like a 0.25%, 3yr being most common and standard, and a 0,1,2 yr where you can buy down the prepay to be less years. meaning you pay 1% upfront of the loan amount to get a 1yr prepayment penalty so you're free to sell the property or refi after 1yr.

Quote from @Nathan Gesner: Unkempt lawns, trashy or broken down vehicles, mattresses and trash on empty lots, boarded up houses, bars on windows, dealers and hookers on the corners, the lack of stores or gas stations, occupied properties are dilapidated, etc.Or when Google maps shows stuff like this: If those are drug zombies, as they appear to be, that's an "F" class neighborhood where nobody pays rent and structure burnouts are common.
