Welcome pdjackson,

You can pay off a mortgage in 5 to 10 years even if the repayment period as per the loan terms and conditions is quite long. You need to make extra payments towards the principal. Depending upon how much you pay extra, you can repay the loan in 5-10 years.

To calcuate how much you can save through extra payments, use the Mortgage payoff calculator.

Yes you can pay it back in 5-10 years. But is there a penalty for doing so? Ive heard of such things as if you pay it off early there is a fee of some sort. Correct me if im wrong.

Hi msnover,

There can be a pre-payment penalty if you pay off your mortgage before a certain period of time. There are certain lenders who can charge this pre-payment penalty whereas there are some others who don't. Moreover, your mortgage doc will state whether you will have to pay a pre-payment penalty or not.
