Solutions
By increasing the standard loan term from 30 to 40 years, monthly payments
are lower, thus making them more affordable, and increasing borrowers'
purchasing power. The 40-year Mortgage is ideal for borrowers who face
affordability issues and think homeownership is beyond their reach. First-time
homebuyers, or those living in high-cost areas seeking manageable monthly
payments may find this amortization term attractive.
