Reduces Principal Faster
Every extra dollar goes straight to your principal balance, reducing the amount that accrues interest.
Saves Interest
Less principal means less interest charged. You pay off your loan years earlier and save thousands.
Builds Equity
Extra payments build home equity faster, giving you more financial flexibility and borrowing power.
Important Disclaimers:
- Check for Prepayment Penalties: Some loans have penalties for paying off early. Verify your loan terms before making extra payments.
- Specify Principal-Only: Tell your lender to apply extra payments to principal, not future payments.
- Emergency Fund First: Maintain 3-6 months of expenses before aggressively paying down your mortgage.
- Consider Other Debt: If you have higher-interest debt (credit cards, car loans), pay those off first.
- Investment Trade-Off: Consider whether investing extra money may yield higher returns than your mortgage rate.
