Thinking About Prepaying Your Mortgage?
If you are one of the very few who still have to decide what to do with your tax refund, here is a great idea. Use the money to pay down a portion of your mortgage by sending the amount in with your next monthly payment.
This is a fairly simple thing that can save you thousands of dollars over the term of the mortgage.
If you have decided to use the rebate to invest in the future, you could not find a better method, in place of investing in stocks and bonds. Right now, the stock market is a bit scary for most people to start to invest in, but your home may turn out to be the best investment of your life.
Prepaying some of your mortgage may help you to meet retirement goals early, since you can shorten the maturity date of your home loan by cutting away at the interest payments, which form a large part of your home loan repayment.
Even if you don’t have a bonus or refund, or have spent it, there are other ways to reduce your home loan rapidly. There a couple of easy ways of achieving this end, without even having a big impact on your normal budget.
You can either make a small additional payment to your home loan each month, by cutting out some little luxuries that you can do without. Because of the way interest is calculated on cumulative balances, this can save a great deal of money over the long run. This will bring the maturity of the mortgage down more quickly.
There is another good way to pay your home loan faster is to pay it more frequently. Just mail one half of your mortgage payment in earlier than due, and the second half on the normal due date. You do not increase the payment, but the extra payment lowers the interest a little bit sooner each month.
