When the mortgage loan reaches the "bank underwriting" stage, how to choose between the two repayment methods to avoid going into trouble?

When applying for mortgage underwriting, there are two repayment options: "average principal and interest amortization" and "average principal amortization." The average monthly repayment amount of principal and interest is fixed, and the total interest payment is higher; the average monthly principal payment is fixed, and the interest decreases month by month, the total interest payment is small, but the initial monthly payment is higher. Choosing the right one can help reduce your total interest expense.

The basic misunderstanding about the "grace period" of mortgage loans will lead to a sudden disaster.

When applying for a mortgage, you need to understand the concepts of "grace period" and "extended repayment period." During the grace period, you only need to repay the interest, and after the end, you will also repay the principal and interest. For example, for a 10 million yuan loan, the monthly interest during the grace period is about 15,000 yuan, and the repayment amount after the end is about 42,000 yuan. Extending the repayment period to 40 years will shorten the principal repayment period. Home buyers should evaluate their repayment ability to avoid being deceived by low interest rates, consider additional taxes and decoration costs, and make a rational decision on whether to purchase a home.
