Ofte stilte spørsmål
How much interest do I save with extra payments?
Depends on loan amount, rate, and monthly extra. $100 extra/month on $300k @ 7% saves ~$60-80k.
Should I pay extra principal or invest?
If mortgage rate > investment returns, pay extra. If <, invest. Typically mortgage rates higher currently.
Does one extra payment per year help?
Yes. One annual extra payment = 1 month principal reduction. Saves ~5-7 years on 30-year mortgage.
