Homeowners, Stop Overpaying: One Small Step, Six-Figure Savings
When it comes to buying a home or managing your current mortgage, there’s one question that could make a world of difference—and potentially save you over $150,000:
"Does my loan have a pre-payment penalty?"
Why This Matters
Many homeowners don’t realize that paying just a little extra toward their mortgage principal each month can cut years off the life of the loan and significantly reduce the total interest paid. But here’s the catch: some loans come with pre-payment penalties, which means you could be charged for paying off your loan early—even if it’s just by a few extra payments.
Knowing the answer to this simple question can unlock the door to massive savings.
A Small Payment, A Big Impact
In our latest reel, we break down just how powerful this strategy can be. For example:
-
An extra $100/month on a standard 30-year loan could save tens of thousands in interest.
-
Larger or more frequent extra payments can slash 5–10 years off your loan term.
-
You stay ahead financially without refinancing or changing your loan terms.
But if your loan has a pre-payment penalty, those savings might be eaten up by fees—so it’s crucial to check with your lender first.
