Tips on saving money on your mortgage

1. Do research and ask for professional advice to get the mortgage that best fits your specific situation.  A mortgage can work to your advantage if you pick according how you will be able to pay it off.  Just because one type of mortgage worked for someone else doesn’t mean that the same one will work for you.
2. Mortgage lenders must compete for your business.  This means lenders are really to negotiate a better deal for you if you are a good candidate to be a homeowner.  Do not assume that the interest rate that is published is the final interest rate and be prepared to ask lenders for a better term.  Every little percentage point that you pay less for your mortgage is going to saving you a lot of money over a 15 to 30 year period.
3. Most of the money that you will pay to your mortgage company is going to go to interest payment.  The banks will subtract from the interest you owe them more than they will subtract from the actual principal.  You can be paying your mortgage for twenty years before you can own more of your house than the bank does.
4. Buy a house when the interest rates are low.  You can save money by repaying the bank less money for the money you have borrowed.
5. You can save money just buy getting a mortgage because your mortgage is tax deductible.  If your loan is less than one million dollars, you will be able to deduct mortgage interest and property tax when you file you federal and state tax income forms.  It is a nice perk that comes with buying a house.  Be sure to check with your accountant to see how much you will be saving with tax deduction.
