Pertanyaan yang sering diajukan
Is overpaying always the best use of money?
If mortgage rate > investment return, yes. 6.5% mortgage vs 4% bond returns → overpay. But 6.5% mortgage vs 10% stock market expected return → invest elsewhere.
Should I overpay if I have credit card debt?
No. Credit card rates (18%–25%) far exceed mortgage (6%–7%). Pay credit cards first. Mortgage is the cheapest debt; pay it last (strategically).
What if rates drop, can I refinance?
Yes, but refinancing costs $3–6k in closing costs. Break-even is 18–36 months. If you plan to stay, refinance. If overpaying for rate, overpay instead.
