Additional Payments Provide Big Mortgage Savings

Here's a simple trick to significantly reduce the length of your mortgage and save you thousands in interest: Make extra payments which apply to your principal. You can pay against principal in various ways. For many people,Perhaps the easiest way to keep track is to make one additional payment per year. Of course, some people can't pull off this huge extra expense, so dividing one extra payment into twelve additional monthly payments is a fine option too. Finally, you can pay a half payment every other week. These options differ a little in reducing the final payback amount and shortening payback length, but they will all significantly reduce the duration of your mortgage and lower your total interest paid.

Additional One-time payment

Some people just can't make any extra payments. But it's important to note that most mortgages allow you to make additional payments at any time. Any time you get some unexpected cash, consider using this rule to make a one-time additional payment on your mortgage principal. If, for example, you were to receive a very large gift or tax refund five years into your mortgage, you could apply a portion of this money toward your loan principal, which would result in enormous savings and a shorter payback period. Unless the mortgage loan is quite large, even a few thousand dollars applied early can produce huge benefits over the life of the loan.
