payments, so you will be paying down your mortgage balance.
A 50 year loan may be necessary to help a client qualify for a mortgage loan. The lower payment on the 50 year loan can sometimes become the difference between qualifying and not qualifying for a home loan. You can always make extra payments towards the principal of your mortgage payment so that you can pay the mortgage loan off much sooner than 50 years.
As the interest rates increase and the refinance market struggles you will see many different programs become available. The 50 year loan is a great example. Lenders still need to offer products that will generate business in a difficult lending environment. This product is one that will keep payments low and still charge a decent rate for the investors. Certainly there will be very few if any who actually stick with a 50 year loan till the end. Most will refinance in the future for a lower term.
