@joshfoltzrealtor: 🏡 WHAT IF $100 A MONTH COULD SAVE YOU $61,000 ON YOUR MORTGAGE? Most homeowners focus on what their monthly mortgage payment will be. But what if I told you that adding just $100 a month could save you tens of thousands of dollars AND get you out of your mortgage years earlier? Let’s break it down. 👇 🏠 THE SCENARIO: * Mortgage amount: $300,000 * Interest rate: 6.5% * Loan term: 30 years * Monthly principal & interest: $1,896.20 OPTION 1: Make the regular payment. 💰 Monthly payment: $1,896.20 📅 Mortgage paid off in: 30 years 💸 Total interest paid: $382,633 OPTION 2: Pay an extra $100 toward principal every month. 💰 Monthly payment: $1,996.20 📅 Mortgage paid off in: Approximately 26 years 💸 Total interest paid: $321,639 🔥 HERE’S THE DIFFERENCE: ✅ Approximately $60,995 saved in interest! ✅ 4 YEARS shaved off your mortgage! ✅ You build equity faster. ✅ You own your home free and clear sooner. And all of that comes from an extra $100 a month. That’s about $3.29 a day. Here’s what most people don’t realize: When you make an extra principal payment, you’re not just paying down what you owe. You’re also eliminating future interest that would have been charged on that money. And the earlier you start, the greater the potential savings. Buying a home isn’t just about finding the right house or getting the best interest rate. It’s also about understanding how to make your mortgage work FOR you instead of against you. A little financial knowledge today can make a massive difference 20 or 30 years from now. — Joshua Foltz | Pivot Realty Group Your Real Estate Resource Serving Northern Kentucky & Greater Cincinnati Figures are approximate and assume a $300,000 loan balance, fixed 6.5% interest rate, and consistent extra monthly principal payments beginning with the first payment.
