How To Pay Off Your Mortgage 2x As Fast

By Ben Schmitt

Want to have a mortgage free life?

There is a simple way to pay off your mortgage, save tons of interest, and it's easy to do.

See, right now, the majority of your mortgage payment is going to interest. To pay off your mortgage you will need to make sure your payment is going to the principle.

If you lower the principle on your mortgage now, instead of throughout the duration of the term, you will save tons of money and pay off your mortgage at lightening speed. You are going to have to pay that principle one way or another, but why pay all the interest with it?

But when and how often?

To successfully pay off your mortgage 2x as fast pay the principle... each month.

Simply pay a little extra money with your mortgage payment each month.

Paying off your mortgage early is really like making an investment. No, you do not ever get the money back directly, but you will reap the rewards later... in interest savings and debt free living.

BUT, HOW MUCH EXTRA DO YOU PAY?

You do not want to pay more than you have to, but you do want to pay off your mortgage as fast as possible. The easiest method to pay off your mortgage early this way is to simply calculate 3-4% of your monthly mortgage payment. That 3-4% will then become the amount of extra money that pays off your mortgage early. It's your principle payment.

To do this all you have to do is take an extra check of whatever 3-4% happens to be, and make a note to your bank that you want the additional money applied to the principle on the loan.

This should not put too much extra stress on you, but it will help you to pay off your mortgage MUCH faster.

WARNING: you must write 'for prepaid principle' on the extra check. If you do not the bank will just count it towards next month's mortgage payment and you won't pay off your mortgage ANY faster.
