Amortization
Amortization is the reduction of the value of an asset by prorating its cost
over a period of years.
Amortization is a method for repaying a loan in equal installments. Part of each
payment goes toward interest due for the period and the remainder is used to
reduce the principal (the loan balance). As the balance of the loan is gradually
reduced, a progressively larger portion of each payment goes toward reducing
principal.
Loans are amortized over different periods of time. The longer the amortization
period, the lower the payment, however, this incurs more interest over time.
An Amortization table can be included with your Good Faith Estimate. You can
request for a Amortization table from a Mortgage Professional.
Pay particular attention to the Truth In Lending and if after a set amount of
months you notice a lump sum payment, this is a balloon mortgage.
The slow elimination of a debt or mortgage, with normal payments over a specific
time frame. These payments must be enough, to pay at least both the principal
and interest.
Even Better
Repayment of a mortgage loan through monthly installments of principal and
interest; the monthly payment amount is based on a schedule that will allow you
to own your home at the end of a specific time period (for example, 15 or 30
years)
Generally, payments made during the first five to seven years of a mortgage go
largely towards interest. As the loan matures, a higher and higher proportion of
each payment goes towards the principal loan balance. These payment schedules,
or amortization tables, can easily be calculated by yourself using just about
any spreadsheet program out on the market.
Procedure of reducing a loan in equal sized installments, with principal and
interest payments, versus interest-only payments.
Amortization can also be considered negative amortization if the monthly
installments do not cover the total amount of interest payable during the month.
Borrowers can make extra mortgage payments on their home loan to decrease the
amortization term.
A 30 year mortgage will be listed with an amortization term of 30/30, or
360/360. A 20 year mortgage will have an amortization term of 20/20, or 240/240.
Now, a balloon mortgage will have a payment that is amortized, generally over 30
years, but the loan will be due in x amount of years. An example of how this
might be listed would be 360/180. This would mean that the payment will be
amortized over 30 years, but however the loan is due in 15 years.
An amortization schedule will show you how much of each payment is going towards
your mortgage interest and how much of your payment is going towards principle.
If you take your mortgage payment (principle & interest only), divide it by 12
and apply that amount towards your principle each month, you will pay off a 30
year mortgage in approximately 22 years. ($1,200 Monthly principle & interest
payment divided by 12 is $100. So you would pay an extra $100 per month).
