🏦 Understanding EMI
- EMI: Equated Monthly Installment - fixed monthly payment
- Principal: The actual loan amount you borrowed
- Interest: The cost of borrowing money
- Early Years: Higher interest, lower principal
- Later Years: Lower interest, higher principal
- Total Cost: EMI × months = total amount paid
💰 Smart Down Payment Tips
- 20% Down: No PMI, better rates, lower EMI
- 15% Down: Good balance, moderate PMI
- 10% Down: Higher PMI but accessible entry
- 5% Down: Minimum for many loans
- Government Programs: Some allow 3% or even 0%
- Impact: Higher down payment = lower EMI
📊 Interest Rate Factors
- Credit Score: Higher score = lower rate
- Loan Term: Shorter term = lower rate
- Down Payment: More down = better rate
- Market Conditions: Economic factors affect rates
- Loan Type: Fixed vs ARM rates
- Points: Pay upfront for lower rate
🔍 Loan Term Impact
- 30-Year: Lower EMI, more total interest
- 15-Year: Higher EMI, less total interest
- 25-Year: Good middle ground option
- Refinancing: Change terms later if beneficial
- Extra Payments: Reduce term and interest
- Flexibility: Consider your cash flow needs
💡 Money-Saving Strategies
- Shop Around: Compare rates from 3-5 lenders
- Improve Credit: Even 0.5% rate reduction saves thousands
