A promissory note would usually contain all of the following EXCEPT?

• A. Principal amount
• B. Interest rate
• C. Due date
• D. Physical description of the collateral

Answer: (D)

The main idea is that a promissory note is the borrower's promise to repay a debt. It normally states how much is borrowed (principal), the interest rate, and when payments are due (due date or maturity). It may also include payment terms, but it does not describe the collateral. The collateral’s details are found in the security instrument (mortgage or deed of trust) that creates the lien on the property. So describing the collateral isn’t part of the promissory note.
