15 Year Mortgage Rates and Loan Programs
A
15 year home loan offers the security of a fixed rate
program coupled with the accelerated pay down benefits
of a shorter term product. Although fifteen years
may sound like a long time down the road, you would
be amazed at how much more of your payment gets put
toward principle with this product rather than that
of a 40 year home loan or 30 year fixed rate mortgage
(especially at the earlier stages of the loan). Sure,
your monthly payment will be higher but the amount
of interest paid over the course of the loan will
be significantly less.
