Comparación de Préstamos: Guía Completa

Why Compare Loans

Small rate differences can save thousands. A 0.5% difference on $300K saves over $30K in interest.

Short vs Long Term

Shorter terms have higher payments but much less total interest. A 15-year mortgage saves tens of thousands vs 30-year.

Fixed vs Variable Rates

Fixed rates offer predictable payments. Variable rates may start lower but carry risk of increases.

On a $300K 30-year mortgage, 1% means approximately $60,000 more or less in total interest.

What fees to include?

Include origination fees, closing costs, appraisal fees, and prepayment penalties.

Is lower payment always better?
