Chapter 15 – Prepayment Options

0 Flares Twitter 0 Facebook 0 Filament.io 0 Flares ×

Depending on the lender, you will have a variety of prepayment options available to you.  Using these options is a great way to reduce the principal on your mortgage and save money.  Check with your mortgage broker to see which ones are available to you.
Here are some of the standard prepayment options:
Anniversary Lump Sum:
Every year, on the anniversary of your mortgage, you can pay back a certain amount (usually 20% of the original mortgage).
Increase Payment Amounts:
Most institutions allow you to increase your payments by a percentage once a year (ie: increase each of your payments by 15%).
Double Up Payments:
This option allows you to double your payment at any given time.
 
Once you feel comfortable with your mortgage payments, it is generally a good idea to take advantage of these options. Here is a more recent post about mortgage prepayment privileges.
