Pro Tip:
Want to save on interest?
While the smaller payment that comes with a longer term is attractive, a shorter term can save you big over the life of your loan. Choose the shortest term that fits the payment you can afford. You'll save with a rate typically lower than longer terms and by paying over a shorter period of time. Even 5 years can make a big difference.
