15 vs. 30 Yr Mortgages

Determining which mortgage term is right for you can be a challenge. With a 15 year mortgage you will pay significantly less interest, but only if you can afford the higher monthly payment. Use this calculator to compare these two mortgage terms, and let us help you decide which term is better for you.

Selling Your Home >Showtime Does your home have more than its share of dust bunnies? Do you have a "noticeable" kitty litter box and closets whose contents tumble toward your feet when opened? If you are planning to sell your home, please don't be offended by your real estate agent's suggestions about what you should do to prepare your home for the market. One of the major challenges that sellers face is keeping their home in top showing condition while it is on the market. Many sellers have difficulty incorporating this necessity into their already busy lives. In such situations we strongly recommend that you get professional help. If you already have a cleaning person, you may want to increase the cleaning frequency. Remember that not all buyers want to use their imagination to visualize a well-kept home. They usually react emotionally to exactly what they see, rather than to the possibilities that your home represents. If your home looks like it will require a lot of work, buyers may elect to keep looking. For most sellers, the goal is to get the home sold as quickly as possible, and for the best price. Hiring a professional cleaner can pay high dividends. See All Tips In The "Selling Your Home" Category > See Complete Library Of Hundreds Of Tips In 30+ Categories >
