Save on Your Mortgage

Making regular additional payments on the loan principal will provide singificant returns. Borrowers employ various techniques to accomplish this goal. Making one extra payment once per year may be the easiest to arrange. If you can't afford to pay an extra whole payment in one month, you can divide your payment by 12 and pay that additional amount monthly. Finally, you can pay half of your mortgage payment every two weeks. These options differ a little in reducing the final payback amount and reducing payback length, but they will all significantly reduce the duration of your mortgage and lower the total interest paid over the life of the loan.

One-time Additional Payment

It may not be possible for you to pay down your principal every month or even every year. But you should remember that most mortgages allow you to make additional payments at any time. Any time you get some extra money, you can use this rule to pay an additional one-time payment on principal. For example: a few years after moving into your home, you receive a larger than expected tax refund,a very large legacy, or a cash gift; , paying a few thousand dollars into your mortgage principal will reduce the repayment period of your loan and save enormously on interest paid over the life of the loan. Unless the mortgage loan is very large, even modest amounts applied early can yield huge benefits over the life of the loan.
