Not really a post on home repair but what the heck .. Maybe it'll help me build that two car garage a little quicker 8)
I have recently purchased my very first home and really need to learn a LOT about the ins and outs on mortgages and such!
Heck, I'm not even sure if I have spelled Mortgage right and .. I now have one! LOL
Here is what I would really like some feedback on .. from the experts and from the working slobs Like Me 8)
My payments are $855.00 a month right now. After adding up all of my bills along with the house payment for the month, I will have, at least an extra $500.00 left over.
The Question: Do you think that it would be better to put that $500.00 on the principle every month (bank allows it) or just put it into my savings account?
I don't know if you need any other information than what I have just given? My interest rate is 6.5% on $113,000. (I put $65,000 down so as not to pay PMI)
If anyone has any experience in this, and wouldn't mind sharing your thoughts .. I would be Forever in your debt and Hopefully .. Not The Banks!! LOL
Thanks Everyone,
PM
P.S. Not sure if this info will help: House sits on a 3/4 acre cul-de-sac. (lots of trees and well landscaped ) (No side by side houses here),
Close to interstate and the best schools. Quiet and secluded neighborhood. Value of homes seem to be going up and up.
