We have already known that buying a home is one of the biggest and most important investments after  for education investment. Because of that, it is crucial to choose the right mortgage and its length of time, so that we  will be able to pay off within a reasonable time as we planned.

The are some things we must consider in choosing the length time of mortgage , that are financial circumstances, what kind of future benefits we want to get  and how much  we can afford to pay monthly on a mortgage while still maintaining a healthy amount of savings. It is a must we still able to save a reasonable amount of money each month to protect us in the event of an emergency, besides for  the education of  our kids and our retirement.

Usually most mortgages have a period of 15, 20 or 30 years. While the interest rates for 15 and 30 years mortgages usually are fixed because there are moany people choose them more often than mortgages which last 20 years.

Choosing one of them have consequences.  The shorter the period we choose the more money we spend and on the contrary. It also means that choosing a 30 year mortgage will give us chance to have saving more money.
weighing the benefits and loss of existing options is a must. Choosing long term loans will give us more disposable income to spend on another  needy. Usually long term mortgage loans are flexible and so that allow us to save money. Just to remind that we can pay more money on the mortgage than we usually pay before if  we have available funds so that the total amount loans can be reduced. The kinds of loans are also the easiest to be approved for.

On the other side, long term mortgages loans also have higher interest rates than the shorter. It happens because we will pay more money in the long terms. Choosing  a long period also takes a long time to build up equity in the home. Long term period also need long term commitment, that is why we must have stable employment.

While long term loans need long time, short term mortgages can be paid off much faster.  They have   much lower interest rates and  that equity can be built up  quickly. At the same time, our purchasing power will be low and we will not have many tax benefits. Short term mortgage loans are also hard to get approved for. These loans tend to have higher monthly payments.

Do not worry if we have chosen on of them because whether  we decide to get a short term loan or a long term one, we still able to refinance to change the length of the mortgage. If we have decided a few years after setting up a 30 year mortgage that we earn enough to pay it off much faster, we can refinance the mortgage for a shorter time and on the contrary.

So, the most important thing is to think it deeply  which option suits us best. We should consider current income, how stable it is, and how much money we will have left over after paying the mortgage monthly. Beside that  it is wise choosing a home which evenly matches our  level of income before buying it.
