The average home buyer today can save $80K and five years on their loan if they make bi-weekly payments.<\/h4>\n

Most people pay their mortgage once a month. But, if you want to save a ton of time and money, make half your mortgage payment every two weeks.<\/p>\n

Instead of making the normal 12 payments a year – you can instead make biweekly mortgage payments, which ends up being 26 half payments a year (13 full payments a year).<\/p>\n
