Big Savings on Interest: Available to Anyone

Making consistent extra payments toward the loan principal will provide huge savings. People accomplish this goal in a few ways. For many people,Perhaps the easiest way to organize this process is by making 1 additional mortgage payment per year. If you can't afford to pay an extra whole payment in one month, you can divide that payment by 12 and write a check for that additional amount monthly. Finally, you can commit to paying half of your mortgage payment every two weeks. Each of these options produces different results, but each will significantly reduce the length of your mortgage and lower your total interest paid.

Lump Sum Extra Payment

Some borrowers can't manage any extra payments. Remember that virtually all mortgage contracts will permit you to make additional payments to your principal at any time. You can take advantage of this rule to pay down your principal when you get some extra money.

If, for example, you receive a surprise windfall three years into your mortgage, investing a few thousand dollars into your mortgage principal will reduce the repayment period of your loan and save a huge amount on mortgage interest paid over the life of the loan. Unless the loan is quite large, even a few thousand dollars applied early can yield huge savings over the duration of the loan.
