Let me help you create a strategy so you make an informed, long-term and financially advantageous decision.

Weighing Fast Payoff Options
Save thousands in unnecessary interest costs
Be done making mortgage payments years sooner
Increased monthly financial commitment
Less available cash for monthly purchases
Fewer dollars available for savings / investment
When assessing whether a mortgage pay down is a good idea or not, we need to ensure that any costs you will incur are outweighed by the overall long term interest savings.
Again, decisions need to be informed, long-term and financially advantageous for you.
Extra-Payment Privilege do not Trigger Mortgage Penalties
Using your extra payment privileges to lower your principal mortgage balance and paying off your mortgage completely are two different things.
Using your extra payment privileges allows you to direct money at your outstanding mortgage balance without incurring any lender penalties. This is a great financial strategy, lowering your total interest costs significantly. I always recommend clients utilize at least some of their extra payment privileges.
On the other hand, mortgage penalties are triggered if you put too much down against your mortgage principal, above what is stipulated in your mortgage contract. Lenders typically allow between 15% and 20 % to be put towards the mortgage principal annually.
Payments over and above these contractual allowances trigger penalties and these are expensive!
Extra payments can be made at any point during your mortgage term or renewal time but please consult with Huber Mortgage to ensure you do not over contribute and trigger an expensive penalty.
