WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF 15- AND 30-YEAR LOAN TERMS

30-Year

In the first 23 years of the loan, more interest is paid off than principal, meaning larger tax deductions. As inflation and costs of living increase, mortgage payments become a smaller part of overall expenses.

15-year

Loan is usually made at a lower interest rate.
Equity is built faster because early payments pay more principal.
