Secrets To Saving Thousands Of Dollars On Your Mortgage
An Interesting Dilemma…
How would you like to have an extra $50,000?
What about an extra $100,000?
What would you do with all that extra cash?
The Savings Are Yours For The Taking
Your mortgage set-up offers you tangible opportunities to live the life you seek.
Simply by making some alterations in: the type of mortgage you have the percentage points you pay and the length of the mortgage payback
period you select
You’ll be able to save thousands of dollars.
"Money will come when you are doing the right thing."
~ Mike Phillips
First, Raise Your Credit Score
A 2% difference in your mortgage interest rate makes a huge impact:On a $100,000 30-year mortgage, you’ll save
$43,968.68 with a 4% loan instead of 6%.
With a $200,000 30-year mortgage, the 2%
difference in interest is $87,937.37
Raising Your Credit Score
Use one major credit
card.Avoid over-
using credit cards.
Focus on paying
down debt.
Pay installment
loans on time.
Obtain a copy of your
credit report.
Ask for “forgiveness”
for a more positive report.
Refrain from
applying for new credit.
“If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten.”
~ Tony Robbins
Choosing Your Mortgage Term
Can you afford the monthly payments on the 10- or 15-year terms?
How much money over time will you spend on interest on the 30-year term?
In addition to paying off the loan sooner, the 15-year term usually carries a lower
interest rate, too.
Think about whether you should select the 30-year option if the difference in percentage points you’re offered is only a half-percent more.
When you select a 30-year option, you’ll pay a lower monthly payment and be better able to swing paying extra mortgage payments throughout the year.
Weigh out these issues with your specific cash flow and financial situation.
