HHS state track team THE 15-YEAR MORTGAGE The 15-year mortgage is a quick way to build equity and cut interest payments. It is gaining in popularity; however, it isn’t the best loan length for everyone regardless of how attractive is looks. Here are some facts to consider: The most important consid eration is the higher monthly paym ents. T here’s no free lunch in financing. A shorter term means larger payments to pay off the principal. Al though a 30-year loan will cost you more in interest over its lifespan, the monthly payments are spread out over twice the length and are lower. Can you afford the higher monthly pay ments of the 15-year loan? How long do you expect to own the home you are buying? In general, the fewer years of expected occupancy, the more feasible a 15-year loan. You’ll get a lot more cash back at sale time when you pay off the remaining mortgage since you will have paid more into principal each month.
