Let's dig into a 50 vs 30 year mortgage using a financial calculator
50 Year__________________________________________ 30 Year --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Purchase price $420,000_________________________ $420,000 Down Payment $42,000__________________________ $42,000 Mortgage Amount $378,000______________________ $378,000 Number of months 600___________________________ 360 Interest Rate 7%__________________________________ 7% Monthly payment $2,274.38_______________________ $2,514.84 ๐Total Interest $986,642____________________________ $527,346 ๐Interest after 8 Years $209,598_____________________ $201,844 I did this over 8 years because the norm is, people churn out of their financing every 8 to 10 years for various reasons. I realize that if the 50 year carries a higher interest rate then the whole thing blows up! So, to save $240 a month is it all worth it? Please drop a comment below. (After typing this and calculating this manually I could have had AI Spit this out in 20 seconds) Damn!๐
