Determining which mortgage term is right for you can be a challenge. With a 15 year mortgage you will pay significantly less interest, but only if you can afford the higher monthly payment. Use this calculator to compare these two mortgage terms, and let us help you decide which term is better for you.

While it is impossible to predict what a particular house will be worth at any point in the future, single family homes have a track record of being excellent investments. If you want to take the plunge, what should you look for in an investment property?
Location is the prime factor. A great location will make a property easier to rent or sell later on for top dollar. You should also consider the cash flow situation. It is often difficult to break even or show a profit from your rental income for the first few years of owning a property. Assuming the property will appreciate as you own it, you should consider the potential amount of equity you will build up each year. If you are planning to become a landlord, it is a good idea to consult a real estate agent and an accountant to help make sure that your decision to purchase investment real estate is an informed one.
