Mortgage pay down question
Lets say you have 2 mortgages on 2 different properties :
1 mortgage is paid down to $13,904.22 Interest rate is 5.0% Monthly payment is $291.65 (174.35 Principle & 57.93 Interest.) Rest is taxes. 1 mortgage is at $111,999.64 Interest rate is 6.25% Monthly Payment is $982.74 (204.96 Principle & 583.16 Interest) Rest is taxes Here's the question: If you had the $13,904.22 to pay off the #1 mortgage and apply the monthly payment of $232.28 (P&I-Taxes) to the second mortgage, would that be better than just applying the $13,904.22 to the # 2 mortgage ? Which would save you more money ? |

Google Dr Calculator and see.
It should show you paying off one mortgage is the better move to get them both paid off quicker. |

Pay off the one mortgage, then you can apply the extra towards the other. No brainer.

You're technically better off paying down the higher interest mortgage, but I would rather be free and clear on the other property.

Yep. In most cases, I say to attack the highest interest rates first, but you're also paying for getting rid of the hassle and uncertainty of having two different loans. It'd be worth it to me to get rid of the small one even though you'll lose a little bit in interest.

Pay down the small one and refinance the big one. Interest rate seems high.

I'd probably just set both of them on fire and collect the insurance money.

Use both hands while jerking off the hogs, double you productivity/income. Pay off the mortgage twice as fast!
You're welcome
