For instance, you’ll need to decide which house is right for you, how much you can afford to spend, what city to live in, and where to get your mortgage. Once you have a signed offer and are under contract for your home, you must finalize your mortgage. You probably know that you should shop around for the best mortgage rate, but do you know what mortgage term is best for you?

Being mortgage free is a significant financial milestone for many homeowners. While some people prefer to make their monthly mortgage payments and direct their extra money toward investments, others dream of paying off their mortgage early and living in their home mortgage free.
