Total paid by payment type Lauren’s payment comparison Susanna’s payment comparison
Comparison 30 Year Loan Pros 30 Year Loan Cons • Gives a lower monthly payment. • Allows you and your family extra money for other priorities per month. • Paying almost double for your home in interest. • It will take around 150 payments to start having more money put towards the principle of the home rather than interest
Comparison 15 Year Loan Pros 15 Year Loan Cons • Pay off your home quickly giving you the ability to own your home. • Pay less interest, first payment has more going towards the principle. • Pay less for the home overall. • Higher monthly payment. • Not a lot of extra money for emergencies or other priorities.
Results • Our group came to an agreement with this assignment. In the long run, a 30 year loan is worse compared to the 15 year loan. • You will be saving money on a monthly basis with a 30 year loan, but as time goes by, you are actually spending much more money due to the interest paid on a 30 year loan.
Conclusion • From doing this assignment it has changed Lauren’s thoughts about buying a house. She would rather get a 15 year loan and pay the extra $100 a month to pay the home off in a little over 12 years. • She feels this is the best option and would rather make more payments towards the principle of the home rather than the interest. • Susanna would rather buy a condo if buying at all. She prefers being in an urban environment and also does not mind renting. • If she bought a condo, she would definitely go for the 15 year loan when looking at how much of a savings in interest there is over the life of the loan.
