Frequently Asked Questions

What is an amortization schedule?

An amortization schedule shows the breakdown of each payment into principal and interest over the life of your loan. It helps you understand how much of your payment goes toward the loan balance vs interest.

How do extra payments affect my mortgage?

Extra payments reduce your principal balance faster, which means you pay less interest over the life of the loan. Even a small extra monthly payment can save thousands in interest and shorten your loan term.
