Homeowner's Guide to Prepaying Your Mortgage

Full Article: Show: Summary
 

Wondering what to do with that tax refund? It might just be an opportunity to save thousands of dollars in mortgage interest. In fact, a single one-time lump-sum prepayment in the early years of your mortgage can not only trim your costs, but it can carve years off your mortgage term.

Even adding as little as $10 per month to your current payment can save you thousands of dollars of interest. Before you start, though, you'll need to understand how and when to do so.

For a graphic example of how much money you can save, see this graph.
