- A 20 year mortgage is a fixed rate mortgage which is amortized over 240 months. Monthly principal and interest payments stay consistent throughout the life of the loan.
- The interest rates for this type of loan are often lower than those for a 30 year fixed rate mortgage.
- The monthly payment amount is frequently higher than the monthly payment total for a 30 year home loan and less than those for a 15 year mortgage. (it is important to note that this is not always the case – consult a mortgage professional for more information)
- The trade-off for higher monthly payments (compared to a 30 yr fixed rate product) is that this type of loan program allows the borrower to build equity more quickly, save on interest and own the home sooner.
