I was wondering if i get a home loan and try to pay it off early will i get pentalized and how much if so:

Hi Hopptx,

Yes, there is a chance that you might be penalized if you repay the home loan before the due date. However, there is no fixed rate as to how much you have to pay. It depends on the lender of the home loan. You should check the documents carefully before you sign. See all the terms and conditions on the document and analyze whether or not that would help you. Check carefully whether or not you are deriving any benefit, such as lower interest rate or lower fees out of a prepayment pay off plan.

While it is a fact that you will be considered as a good debtor if you pay off a mortgage loan early, it is also true that there is something called a 'prepayment penalty' in mortgage.

Yes, you will be penalized for paying off a mortgage loan early. It is a clause or provision in your contract with the lender that mentions that you must pay a penalty in the event that you pay off a loan early. It is usually a percentage of the total outstanding amount at the time you are making the prepayment or maybe interest for a specific number of months put together.

Some of the lenders have may impose penanlty if you pay off the loan early or make some additional payments on the princiapl. But most of it will in the early years
