I wouldn't say it's front loaded. That's how loans work. You have to pay the interest before money goes to principal. As the principal decreases, so does the amount of interest paid thus allowing more to go to principal. You have to pay the interest first -- it's the price of the loan.Originally posted by racrguy View PostSeriously?
Ok, here we go. By front loaded with interest, I mean in the beginning of the loan you're paying more interest than principal.
Now you could say an interest only loan is front loaded on the other hand.

most people would think "front loading" would be charging MORE interest than what there should be in the means to make a profit. People say they are being "screwed" because the loan is front loaded and the greedy bank wants to make more money. I guess your definition of "front loaded" is different than most people.Originally posted by racrguy View PostAm I doing a poor job at explaining, or am I just not being understood?

This. Interest is the cost of the loan. The more you borrow, the more interest you pay. It's not a case of, "I'll let you borrow $100K for a $100 dollar fee. If you want $200K, you can have that as well for no extra charge." Front loading, at least to me and every other mortgage person I know, would mean you paid 100% of the interest up front before a dime went to principal.Originally posted by 8mpg View Postmost people would think "front loading" would be charging MORE interest than what there should be in the means to make a profit.

What's amortization?Originally posted by davbrucasI want to like Slow99 since people I know say he's a good guy, but just about everything he posts is condescending and passive aggressive.
Most people I talk to have nothing but good things to say about you, but you sure come across as a condescending prick. Do you have an inferiority complex you've attempted to overcome through overachievement? Or were you fondled as a child?
You and slow99 should date. You both have passive aggressiveness down pat.
