How Does a Mortgage Work?

A mortgage is a loan used to purchase real estate. You repay the loan over a set period (typically 15 or 30 years) through monthly payments that include both principal and interest. In the early years, most of your payment goes toward interest; over time, more goes toward paying down the principal.

What Affects Your Monthly Payment?

Your monthly mortgage payment depends on the home price, down payment, interest rate, and loan term. Property taxes and homeowner's insurance also add to your total monthly housing cost. A larger down payment reduces your loan amount and can help you avoid private mortgage insurance (PMI).
