The New Math --- Owning Your Home Outright Quicker

By
Industry Observer CalDRE #01165532

12 + 1 = 23

Remember the New Math?

Try This...

12(months) +1(one extra payment--principal only)

equals

30(year original loan) - 7(number in years of savings)

23

HUH?

Did you know that there is a way to save a lot of $$$ on your mortgage?

  Did you know that if you make just one extra payment a year

(of course this is a principal payment solely)

you will cut seven years off your mortgage---instead of a typical 30 year mortgage,

you could own your home outright in just 23 years! 

No mathematicians were harmed in this example although they may be shaking their heads.

Always check with the appropriate professionals your to verify how this will effect your individual financial situation.

Check with your non-human companion should you wish to try this experiment with their domicile.

Michael, Dave Ramsey would be so proud of you! It's a great message to be getting across to people. Easy way to save dollar$ in interest w/out being locked into a 15 year amortization payment.

Hi Colleen -- I admire Dave Ramsey and his writings/thoughts --- while I don't know if this method is one Dave would recommend(I know he likes 15 year mortgages), it does provide an alternative.

And just think how quickly you would own your home if you had a 15-year mortgage and made an extra payment each year! J

I have 15 year mortgage clients that are paying bi-monthly, and then paying a little extra every so often and they will own their home in 7 years!  That's exciting.  Great of you to provide the simple math in easy black and white!
