Understanding Your Mortgage

A mortgage is a loan used to purchase real estate. Your monthly payment typically includes:

  • Principal: The amount borrowed (reduces your loan balance)
  • Interest: The cost of borrowing (doesn't reduce balance)
  • Property Tax: Annual taxes paid to local government
  • Insurance: Protects the property from damage
  • PMI: Required if down payment is less than 20%

Pro Tip: Making extra principal payments can significantly reduce the total interest paid and shorten your loan term. Even small additional payments can make a big difference over time.
