4 Senerios Where Longer Is Better On A Mortgage

General Angela Calla 29 May

Consider this recent statement by a bank spokesperson: “Choosing a shorter amortization is the most responsible approach to home financing. It’s something we have been encouraging our customers to consider for years, as it means becoming debt-free sooner.”
 
How wise is that advice? Do longer mortgage repayment periods truly cost you more, all things considered?
