Mortgage Monday

The thrill of house shopping is like a rollercoaster, there are ups and downs and turns you don’t initially expect but once you have reached the end, you realize the relief was worth the while. But once that ride is over, a new one must be taken, which means paying your mortgage off. By paying your mortgage early, it will alleviate the stress that comes with paying for the new property as well as the moving in process.

Since rates for loans are rising, one must set a priority schedule to make payments and what factors will affect your current budget. There will be numerous fees that will be coming in the future, such as college expenses, health insurance, paying for the car, etc. But keep in mind that each priority should have its own payment schedule and to set aside money for each payment.

With this in mind, the strain of mortgage payments will no longer be a burden after you decide to take the following steps.

First, you will want to keep in mind how much you actually need to pay and factor in your current budget to estimate the amount of time it will take for you to pay it off. You do not want to spend the rest of your life paying these debts off so the move to make is to put it a small amount more than what you originally planned on paying. This can range from an extra $10.00 lying around to hundreds if you worked overtime or just have some saved up. This can make the amount of time fly by and reduce the estimated time by months or even years.

The next rule is to be on top of your payments and being prompt or even early when it comes to financials. With the current financial state, it is difficult to have a pretty penny in the bank nowadays but saving up now is better than being behind with payments later on. If one payment is missed, then the escalations of bills will piles up and catch up to you and your credit. Also, be aware of the interest rates for your mortgages. Be smart when dealing with mortgage payments and remember, this is your potential home on the line.

Finally, if you are having any financial difficulties and are seeking help, applying for a credit hardship variation may be the path to take when trying to pay your mortgage. These are strictly for personal, domestic, or household uses due to a change of circumstances affecting your financial status. One must check if they qualify through the terms and conditions that are available. These steps are ways to be timely and worry free in the midst of our economic condition and will help you transition into picking the right home.
