|
|
Hello,
This is my first time on the forum. My wife and I did a 80/15/5 on our new home last June/07. The 2nd mortgage is for $36,000. We have 7 years to pay it off at 7.25. After the 7 years it has a cap of 12%. We would like to pay it off in the next four years. Our payments are $243.54 per month(30 years!). What would it take to pay it off in four or less years? We don't have any other debt. We could pay about 300.00 - 500.00 more per month to pay it off.
Could someone tell me what would be the best way to do this? I would also like to put $3,000.00 down as a one time payment. I think it's better than sitting in a savings account? Also, is there a calculator on line to run these numbers? I'm not sure how the interest works. Now that's pretty sad!
Thanks for any help. |
