How to Choose Your Fixed Rate Mortgage Term
Here are a few things to consider when choosing your fixed rate mortgage term:
- Total interest you want to pay over the term. The total cost of interest on a 30-year loan is higher than the interest cost of a shorter loan. With a 30-year loan, you typically have lower monthly payments, but you'll generally pay more interest over the life of the loan.
- Your ability to make a higher monthly payment. With a shorter term you pay the loan off faster, but you need to be able to afford higher payments. A 10-year, 15-year, or 20-year term will also save you thousands in interest over a 30-year loan.
Let's Take a Look at Your Options:
If you're wondering which fixed-rate loan is right for you, here are some things to think about:
- Total interest you want to pay over the term. The total cost of interest on a 30-year loan is higher than the interest cost of a shorter loan. With a 30-year loan, you have lower monthly payments, but a higher rate.
- Your ability to make a higher monthly payment. With a shorter term you pay the loan off faster, but you need to be able to afford higher payments. A 10-, 15-, or 20-year term will also save you thousands in interest over a 30-year loan.
