PAY OFF YOUR MORTGAGE FASTER

the Basics of Paying Your Mortgage Faster

For many Americans, the goal of paying off their home and becoming debt-free is a priority.  It’s easier than you might think!  And the Loan Geeks Home Loan Experts would like to help you get there!  There are basically two ways to approach paying off your mortgage faster. 

  • Refinance your current mortgage into a shorter term mortgage
  • Pay additional principle reduction payments on your current mortgage
With today’s mortgage interest rates remaining near historical lows, now might be a great time to refinance your mortgage to a shorter term.  In most cases, shorter term loans have lower rates (i.e. rate for 15yr term are lower than 30yr term).

the Benefits of a Shorter Term

With today’s rates remaining historically low, now might be a great time to refinance your mortgage to a shorter term.  The benefits of refinancing to a shorter term may include . . . 

  • Lower your Interest Rate
  • Fixed monthly payment over remaining life of loan
  • Save thousands or tens of thousands of dollars in interest paid over the life of the loan!
  • Pay-off your mortgage much faster!

the Benefits of Making Extra Principle Reduction Payments

This method of paying off your mortgage faster does not necessarily involve having to refinance your current mortgage, which can save you the costs associated with a refinance.  Instead, if your current mortgage allows, you simply include extra monies in with your normal mortgage payment each monthly that then gets applied to your principle balance.  Some of the advantages of making extra principle reduction payments to pay off your mortgage faster may include . . . 

  • Save thousands of dollars in interest paid over the life of the loan 
  • Pay-off your mortgage faster!
  • Does not involve the cost of refinancing.
  • Ability to drop monthly payment back down to the minimum required payment in the event of unforeseen financial changes

Which Method of Accelerated Payment is Right for Me?

If paying off your mortgage faster is a priority for you, there are several factors that will help determine which method is best for you.  You will need to consider some of the following . . . 

  • Does my current mortgage have a pre-payment penalty?
  • What is my current interest rate and loan term?

  • What are the costs to refinance versus the benefits of the new rate and term?
  • and more . . . .
