Frequently Asked Questions
Pro Tips
Even a 0.5% lower interest rate saves thousands over the life of a loan. Shop at least 3 lenders and get pre-approval before committing — lenders compete on rate when they know you have options.
Making one extra payment per year directly toward principal can shorten a 30-year mortgage by 4–6 years and save over $30,000 in interest on a typical home loan.
Your Annual Percentage Rate (APR) includes fees the interest rate does not — always compare APR, not just rate, when evaluating lender offers.
Bi-weekly payments (half the monthly amount every 2 weeks) result in 26 half-payments per year — equivalent to 13 full monthly payments instead of 12, accelerating payoff.
