Additional Payments Yield Huge Savings

Paying consistent additional payments on your loan principal provides huge returns. Borrowers pay extra in several different ways. For many people,Perhaps the simplest way to organize this process is to make 1 extra mortgage payment a year. If you can't afford to pay an extra whole payment in one month, you can split that large amount into 12 smaller payments and write a check for that additional amount monthly. Another popular option is to pay half of your payment every two weeks. The result is you make one extra monthly payment each year. These options differ slightly in reducing the total interest paid and shortening payback length, but they will all significantly reduce the duration of your mortgage and lower the total interest you will pay over the life of the loan.

Additional One-time payment

Some folks just can't make extra payments. But it's important to note that most mortgages will allow additional principal payments at any time. You can take advantage of this provision to pay down your principal when you get some extra money.

If, for example, you were to receive a surprise windfall five years into your mortgage, investing several thousand dollars into your home's principal can significantly reduce the repayment duration of your loan and save a huge amount on mortgage interest paid over the duration of the mortgage loan. Unless the loan is quite large, even modest amounts applied early in the loan period can produce huge savings over the life of the loan.
