Mortgage Amortization SchedulePosted on January 24, 2010. Question on how redemption affects amortization table.? So I bought my first house, its a FHA loan, and the biggest thing on my mind is how to pay as little interest as possible over the years. I'm buying a house cheaper than I could afford, so I could have left more money to prepay the principal, as often as possible and get the home paid much faster than 30 years . (I know that many people probably think, its my first house, I'm going to move, update, etc., but I doubt it. I rarely move, I was in the same 5 mile radius all my life, I plan to be in this house for a long period) I think they will end up roughly the same. The idea of redemption is to reduce the principal so you pay interest at a rate lower than overall balance. So let's say hypothetically that you had a 100k loan - if you paid 4k before or after the loan dispersed, you still want to achieve a balance between 96K pay interest on every month, rather than the full 100k. And actually, Option B would be slightly less advantageous, because you would from any interest on 100k first month, rather than 96k. You can also use the model of loan amortization that is included with Microsoft Excel to help understand. It allows you to enter a different amount of additional principal payment each month. I did a demo of how to use http://www.yourtwobits.com Flag you more profits with a larger payment - all payments you do not have that $ 4,000 applied to principal, you lose interest savings long term Looks like you do not put 20% down. Ok ... your math is a bit off, here's how it works. CommentsThere are no comments.Leave a Comment |
