With 15-year fixed-rate mortgages the interest rate stays the same over the life of the loan, meaning steady and unchanging payments month to month. Borrowers pay principal towards the actual loan amount, and interest on that loan, which is tax-deductible. As principal is paid over time, homeowners build equity in their home. With normal payments, the loan is fully amortized (paid off) in 15 years. These mortgages are a popular option, allowing easy budgeting, quickly building equity, and less interest over time. Drawbacks are higher monthly payments.
