Astoria Federal offers five loans including 30-year fixed at 12 percent and 15-year fixed at 11.5 percent, plus 9 percent one-year adjustable and 10.75 to 11.25 percent fixed for shorter terms. A 60,000 loan costs 162,181.20 in interest over 30 years, while 15-year totals 66,165.60 with a $700.92 monthly payment. The “yuppie” mortgage with biweekly payments halves the time to payoff for a 50,000 loan, reducing interest. The piece notes tax deductions and the leverage of mortgage debt amid inflation and price volatility.
