How to Pay Off Your Mortgage the SMART Way

How to Pay Off Your Mortgage the Smart Way 

If you’re trying to save money for something special but you’re tied up in your mortgage, don’t worry! Here are some tips to help homeowners pay off their mortgage, the smart way!

The faster you pay off your mortgage, the less interest you’ll pay on your home loan. As a result of making more payments or bigger payments, you will spend less money on purchasing your home!

Refinance!

If you can afford to make higher payments, then you may want to consider switching from a 30 year mortgage to a 15 year mortgage. This can lead to a better interest rate and APR. Majority of the time you will need to own at least 20 percent of your home to qualify. The shorter the loan term, the faster you can pay off your mortgage and save money on interest.

Extra Monthly Payments Will Go a Long Way

If you are looking to pay off your mortgage early, paying a little more every month can really help! Apply extra payments towards the principal or total amount borrowed, to reduce the overall balance. When you receive a bonus or income tax, try putting some towards your mortgage. Even if it’s only $50 extra a month, it will be beneficial in the long run.

Bi-Weekly May Be More Beneficial 

Bi-weekly payments can be beneficial to the right home owner. If you find yourself caught up in bills and occasionally missing payments, this option may not be best for you. Mortgage lenders offer home owners the option to receive their bill every 2 weeks, opposed to once a month. The payments are less because they are every 2 weeks (not once a month) so try throwing in a little extra money on each payment. It won’t break your pockets and you will slowly be paying off more of your mortgage. Extra fees may be included in this service.
