15 vs. 30 Yr Mortgages
Determining which mortgage term is right for you can be a challenge. With a 15 year mortgage you will pay significantly less interest, but only if you can afford the higher monthly payment. Use this calculator to compare these two mortgage terms, and let us help you decide which term is better for you.
Definitions
Mortgage amount
Original or expected balance for your mortgage.
Interest rate
Annual interest rate for your mortgage. Interest rates are generally lower for shorter term mortgages.
Marginal tax rate
This is your combined state and federal tax rate. This is used to calculate your potential income tax savings by deducting your mortgage interest.
Monthly payment
Monthly principal and interest payment (PI). Both 30 year and 15 year mortgages are shown.
Total payments
Total of all monthly payments over the full term of the mortgage. Both 30 year and 15 year mortgages are shown.
Total interest
Total of all interest paid over the full term of the mortgage. Both 30 year and 15 year mortgages are shown.

Are you considering taking out hazard insurance on a property before you actually take title? It may be a good idea!
Even though you are not yet the owner of record, as the buyer, you have an insurable interest in a property the moment that you and the seller execute the sales agreement. As a matter of practice, however, buyers do not usually take out insurance until the papers change hands, and it should not be necessary if the agreement of sale is properly executed.
It is very important to both parties that the agreement states that the property will be insured for a specific amount. From the buyer's point of view, an adequate sum must be stipulated, and the agreement should not read "as now insured", which can indicate that the seller may not want to increase the insurance.
As a general rule, the amount of insurance on the buildings on a property should equal the sales price, less the value of the lot.
