Don’t just look at your monthly house payment – you might be losing $37000!


Did you get a 30 yr loan? Consider a 15 yr instead!!
 

Original Loan - $90,500 - 30 yr with 5.25% interest rate in 2004

Balance left on loan in 2013 (21 years left) - $75,786.91

Mortgage Payment $499.74 (does not include Insurance and taxes)
Around $110 of your payment is going toward the house.

$49,787 left in interest

Pay off in 2034
 

Refinance $75,786.91 (balance of loan) - 15 year at 2.8% interest rate in 2013


New Payment of $516.11
Now around $350 of your payment is actually paying down the loan.

Interest with new loan $17,113

Pay off in 2028


Overall you pay your house off 6 years earlier and save $37,152
(I think you can find something to do with this savings!!!!)

Things to Remember:

There are closing costs associated with refinancing – 2%-3% of loan
(Be sure you stay long enough to recoup the costs.)

You might can drop your PMI (if that is around $50/mth)
If you take this and put in an extra $50 toward your principal you can then pay your mortgage off in 13.5 yrs.

Got more questions, ask me. I would love to help!
