Introducing 40-Year Mortgage Loans
Purchasing a home or refinancing can be tough in today's market. However, at Provident, we're committed to making homeownership achievable by introducing our new 40-year mortgage, available on our Fixed/Adjustable Mortgage loans.230 We've gathered some information about 40-year mortgages to help you determine if it's right for you.
What is a 40-year mortgage?
A 40-year mortgage loan functions similarly to a standard loan but with a longer repayment period, leading to reduced monthly payments.
Advantages of a 40-Year Loan
- Lower Monthly Payments: Extending the loan term lowers your monthly payments compared to a 30 or 15-year loan with the same interest rate and down payment.
- Expanded Home Search: With a 40-year loan, you gain increased purchasing power, enabling you to secure your desired home.
- Ease on Monthly Budget: Having a lower monthly payment on your mortgage provides additional flexibility within your monthly budget.
Drawbacks of a 40-Year Loan
- More Interest Paid: Due to the extended loan term, you'll end up paying more in interest over the loan's lifespan compared to shorter-term loans.
- Build Equity Slower: In the early years of the loan, a larger portion of your monthly payment goes towards interest. With a longer loan term, the reduction of your principal loan balance occurs at a slower pace than with shorter loan terms.
We encourage you to assess your financial goals and circumstances carefully before deciding whether a 40-year mortgage aligns with your homeownership objectives.
