    a 40/40 are out there but it comes with a hit on the rate and over the long term it is not worth it:
    400,000 30year 6%=$2398
    400,000 40year 6.125%=$2236
    over the life of the loan it would be an additional $210,000 on the 40 year

    Con-Its takes 40 years to pay off your house. :cry:
    Actually I was wondering the same. From what I heard is, it really doesn't lower the monthly that much. But I'm probably wrong as usual.

    Do F150's Float?
    Good for subprime clients who don't qualify for an interest only loan (but that's not a 40/40, its a 2/38 or 3/37) because it keeps the payment lower than say a 2 or 3 year fixed.
    Not so great for A paper people - like it was said, the payment isn't a whole lot lower, and you end up paying way more interest back. :rollside:

    Why would anyone even consider a 40 year loan? I do all mine at 15 year. Its only a differance of a couple hundred dollars, you get a better interest rate and you build equity much faster. 40 year is just plain dumb.

    So how much of a difference in monthly payments would it be for a $400,000 loan?

    The majority of people dont stay in their homes long enough to pay them off. If your not getting close to retiring or it's your first or second home, chances are your gonna sell and move again down the road. 40yr/50yr or the I.O. is not a bad deal if you know your gonna be out in 5-7 years. Most of the 15yr and 20yr loans are for the ones that are looking towards retiring and know they are gonna stay put for the long haul.
