You are planning to buy a 4 bedroom house in Hamilton that has a price of $1,000,000. One of the local banks has offered you a mortgage at a quoted rate of 5% per year. Interest will be compounded semi-annually. The bank has indicated that they will require 25% down payment. The bank is prepared to lend you the remainder of the purchase price of the house. The amortization period will be 30 years and the term of the mortgage will be 3 years. You are going to make monthly payments on your mortgage. The payments will be made at the end of each period. You have heard from your friend who has just completed AFF210, that by making additional payments on your mortgage during the initial term, you can reduce the remaining balance at the end of the initial term. Your friend has shown you a sample amortization schedule template (below).
