Return to 15 Year Mortgage, Is It Right For You!

<h2>15 Year Mortgage, Is It Right For You!</h2>by JohnBottelThere is always a debate when home buyers have to decide on the merits of 15 or 30 year fixed mortgage rates. Buying a home later in life means that many people want to have the mortgage paid off early. Decisions of this nature need careful consideration before any commitment is made. Home buyers looking into this need to be assured their monthly payments will not increase. It seems that some lenders are happy to offer deals that appear too good to be true and they usually are. Loans agreed with a 15 year fixed mortgage keep the same interest rate throughout the entire life of the agreement. If you are someone that wants a loan with a regular fixed repayment and no additional charges then this is the main benefit with this type of agreement. My wife and I looked into the loans available with 15 year fixed mortgage rates when we were searching for a home for sale. Even though it was important for us to pay off our loan at the earliest possible opportunity, we did not want high, unrealistic monthly payments which we would have trouble maintaining. Considering longer term fixed rate mortgages was one option if we could not afford a 15 year plan. Because we did not want to have a mortgage close to retirement, we hoped we would be able to afford a shorter 15 year fixed rate mortgage. Too much pressure was placed on the early repayment of the mortgage loan. We thought about it long and hard and despite the pressure we decided to go with the 30 year loan plan. There were many things that lead us into making this choice. It was easier reaching this conclusion when I learned that my wife was expecting a baby. My wife decided she wanted to raise our child at home so I could not be certain of her monthly financial commitment to our household expenses. The downside to the 15 year fixed mortgage rate was the higher monthly repayment. We just decided we would probably get into trouble if we took this route. A thirty year loan brought the monthly payments down to a reasonable level. We found that if we could make a few extra payments throughout each year then it would gradually reduce the principle sum owed. It is possible to take years off your loan if you can make a few extra payments during each year. This may be difficult but well worth the effort in the a few years down the line. Our desire for a 15 year fixed rate mortgage was second place to our more immediate needs. Things worked out well anyway, even though we were unsure about it to start with.<h3>About the Author</h3>Interested in finding great rates for a 15 year <a href="http://homemortgageguru.net/mortgage">home mortgage</a>?
