Want to pay of your mortgage sooner? You are not alone. Most Canadians dream of paying down their current mortgage but don’t know some tricks to get you there.
Of Course, choosing to be mortgage-free sooner is easier said than done but MortgageTailors.com has some tips to get you there.
*Make more Mortgage Payments.
Option 1: Paying your mortgage biweekly or weekly saves interest as well as you are making 2 extra mortgage payments a year. This goes directly to the principal.
Option 2: If making monthly mortgage payments of $1000, why not pay 2 payments of $500. Say the 1st and the 15th. You save on interest by making part of your monthly payment early.
* Round up mortgage payments – every dollar counts. If your mortgage payment is 6$87 bi-weekly, why not set the payment to $700.00 biweekly. You won’t even notice the difference; however, it will impact your mortgage balance over time.
* When interest rates drop, continue to make the same mortgage payment, less of the payment will go to interest and more to principal.
*Choose a shorter amortization period: A 15 year over a 20 or 25 yr. amortization will increase your regular mortgage payments but also save you thousands in interest costs.
* Tax Refund. Put the tax refund or a portion of it directly onto your mortgage. Not spending money, you weren’t expecting will not affect your lifestyle but will impact your balance on your mortgage. This really impacts how long it takes to pay it off.
*Refinancing: If you hold high interest debt (i.e. credit cards) or vehicle loans combining them into a low mortgage payment can save you money in interest as well as monthly payments.

Thanks for your thoughts. One thing really noticed is banks plus financial institutions really know the spending habits of consumers while also understand that the majority of people max out their cards around the holiday seasons. They sensibly take advantage of this particular fact and commence flooding your current inbox and snail-mail box having hundreds of 0 APR credit card offers soon after the holiday season finishes. Knowing that when you are like 98 of the American community, you’ll get at the one opportunity to consolidate card debt and move balances for 0 APR credit cards.
Yes they do, they focus more on issuing more credit as the interest they make on it is substantial to mortgages and the investments they pay consumers for their money.
Absolutely. Give me a call to discuss
