The 50 Year Home Mortgage is On It’s Way.
Emergency Preparedness – The 50 Year Home Mortgage is On Its Way.
QUESTION: Considering 18% credit card debt, and 6% home mortgage debt, which will cost you the most money in interest expense during the repayment period?
Most would say this is a NO BRAINER – 18% is more than 6%.
ANSWER: When repaying the first year’s payments on short-term credit card debt (5 years or less), about 45% of the monthly payment is applied to principle. When repaying the first payment on long term mortgage debt (30 years) less than 19% premium is going to principle. That means that the 6% loan is really costing over 80% in the early years of your repayment schedule, and it will take until the 222nd of 360 total payments before 50% of your monthly premium actually goes to principle, with the rest being interest.

Question: Why will a lender let you close credit card debt to your home mortgage when you refinance?
Answer: Because he is dumb like a fox and knows how to get the most interest charges out of you.
