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.
