WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT FIRST MORTGAGES?
INTEREST RATES
There are two options that lenders use to calculate interest rates – Fixed and Variable. When choosing a first mortgage it is important to take into consideration what each of these can do for you.
A Fixed Rate would keep the interest portion of your payments the same over the term of your mortgage whereas with Variable rates the interest portion fluctuates with the market.
For example, when interest rates are low, more of your monthly payment would go towards paying off the principal (the actual mortgage). If the rates were to then rise, more of your payment would slide towards the interest portion of the mortgage loan.
AMORTIZATION AND
MORTGAGE TERMS
Amortization is the length of time it takes for you to pay off the full amount of your mortgage.
In order to pay off your mortgage, you must agree on what are called Mortgage Terms. Everything your mortgage contract outlines, including rates, type and payments, make up your Mortgage Terms.
These terms need to be renewed, so it usually takes multiple terms to fulfill your amortization agreement.
Below is an example of the Amortization of a first mortgage of $300,000 with a constant interest rate of 4%.
| Amortization Example | ||
|---|---|---|
| Amortization | Monthly Payment | Principal Paid After 5 Years |
| 25 Years | $1,578.00 | $38,838 |
| 20 Years | $1,813.00 | $54,384 |
| 15 Years | $2,214.00 | $80,973 |
| 10 Years | $3,033.00 | $135,196 |
MORTGAGE TYPES
There are two types of mortgages that you can get – Open and Closed.
With an Open mortgage, you can pay extra money (without any penalties) in order to pay off the balance of your mortgage quicker, as well as the ability to renegotiate your Term before it is up.
A Closed mortgage limits the amount of extra money you can pay on top of your usual payments (without a penalty) but is great for budgeting. Your payment never changes, and it is usually at a better interest rate than an Open mortgage.
If this sounds complicated don’t worry, the experts at Sunlitemortgage can explain it all – in simple and clear terms – over a free consultation.

I have been dealing with Matthew Waylett to arrange a second mortgage. During the process, I had some other events happen in my life, which kept me from focusing on the task. Matthew was exceptionally patient and diligent during the entire process. I can recommend Matthew without hesitation. His dedication & efficiency were very much appreciated!! Keith
