way to go, now you have a place to leave the boat, drink beer, piss outside without the neighbors complaining, have bonfires.

Congrats!! I just bought my 2nd about 4 months ago really close to where I launch my boat when I take it out of the water. It may get stressful, but it is well worth it. Let the life long work begin. They always need fixin' or upgrading, it gets addictive, kinda like working on my boat.....

Not sure of your financial situation, but adding something extra to the payment will dramatically decrease the life of the note and the amount you ultimately pay. I added 200 a month to a 550 a month payment on a 30 yr note & paid it off in 11 years. I bought in 1990 & was mine in 2001. best of luck

Good advise P-Diddy. I have paid $100 extra per mo. on my 15 year note and it looks like it will be done in about 9 years.

Good advice, Phat. Even if you cannot add an extra amount as large as yours ($200/$550 = 36.36% more), simply paying 1/2 of the monthly mortgage payment every two weeks can reduce the term of a 30 year note down to about 21. By doing that, you actually make an extra monthly payment every year, and every time you can reduce principal it helps. For example, if mortgage payment is $1000 a month, you would pay $12,000 per year via traditional method, or $500 x 26 bi-weekly payments = $13,000 per year, with most of that extra $1000 per year going toward reduction of principal balance.
