What is a Mortgage ?
A loan used to purchase a home
A debt instrument that is secured by the collateral of specified real estate property and that the borrower is obliged to pay back with a predetermined set of payments.
Mortgages are used by individuals and businesses to make large purchases of real estate without paying the entire value of the purchase up front.
Mortgages are also known as "liens against property" or "claims on property."

Fixed Rate?
• A fixed-rate mortgage is a loan that charges a set rate of interest that does not change throughout the life of the loan. It is the traditional loan used to finance the purchase of a home and is what most people have in mind when they think about a mortgage.
![Page 13: MoneyCounts: A Financial Literacy Series](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070408/568143f4550346895db07fce/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
MoneyCounts: A Financial Literacy Series
Variable Rate?
A variable-rate mortgage, also commonly referred to as an adjustable-rate mortgage or a floating-rate mortgage, is a loan in which the rate of interest is subject to change. When such a change occurs, the monthly payment is "adjusted" to reflect the new interest rate. Over long periods of time, interest rates generally increase. An increase in interest rates will cause the monthly payment on a variable-rate mortgage to move higher.

Budgeting Tips
Increase your emergency fund saving by at least 5% to allow for unexpected house maintenance cost (15% instead of recommended 10%)
Trim your spending budget to allow for the increase
Live in your home at least 6 month to a year before you start making any major changes to your house
Do not acquire credit card debt to accommodate additional spending on the new house

Budgeting Tips
Instead of making a monthly mortgage payment, send 1/2 of your mortgage payment every 2 weeks, you end up making 13 payments in the year instead of 12 payments. you reduce the life of your loan by 5 years
Prepare different scenarios of payment to accommodate your long term goal, use online mortgage calculators to help you decide the best payment option for you and your family

Budgeting Tips
Tip: Pursue a 30 year mortgage, but make your own plans to pay it in 15 years (run your own amortization schedule)
This approach guarantees you a lower monthly payment just in case life throws you a surprise.
This takes discipline and a commitment to meet the goal of owning your home in less than 30 years.
