Frequently Asked Questions
Extra payments reduce the principal balance directly, which lowers the amount of interest accrued over time. This can shorten your loan term and save you a significant amount in interest.
You can make extra payments monthly, annually, or as a lump sum. Consistently adding a small amount each month can have a big impact over the life of the loan.
Some mortgages have prepayment penalties. Check your loan agreement or consult your lender before making extra payments.
