FAQ Friday
If I switch mortgage lenders, does my mortgage start over?
Not simply because you changed lenders.
One thing that often causes confusion is the difference between your mortgage term and your amortization.
Your term is the period covered by your current mortgage agreement.
Your amortization is the longer period over which the mortgage is being repaid.
Changing lenders does not automatically mean going back to day one.
Your existing balance and remaining repayment timeline still matter.
If those two mortgage terms have ever confused you, you are definitely not alone.
