5 Things That Can Save Thousands on a Mortgage!
Have you ever wondered how you can pay off your mortgage and save thousands of dollars. Well here is how you can do it!
1. Most mortgages come with a pre-payment option. This will allow payments in addition to your weekly, bi-weekly or monthly amounts. You will have a maximum that you can pre-pay, but it’s likely from 10-25% of the original Mortgage amount. Using an annual bonus is a good way to use this option.
2. Once a year consider increasing your payments. Even $25 to $50 per payment will save years of payments.
3. If your payment is $976.00 consider rounding it up to $1000.00 to help reduce your amortization and therefore the amount of interest you can save.
4. If you are making your payment monthly, a 25 yr amortization will take 25 years to repay. However, if you switch to bi-weekly you’ll save 4 years and 8 months of payments. That’s a lot of money!
5. If you have a Variable Rate Mortgage and rates drop, maintain your payment so that all the extra amounts help reduce your balance and once again save you thousands.
