Brian just purchased a home for $300,000 and made the required down payment of 20% ($60,000) to avoid PMI. Therefore, he is financing $240,000 over 30 years (360 months) at 3%. A) How much are his payments on the loan? B) His husband, Greg, is a great financial planner and says it would be very prudent to pay an EXTRA $200 per month on the mortgage payments. How many monthly payments will this “knock off” or reduce on the original 360 payments? How much interest will be saved over the life of the loan by making the extra $200 per month payment?
