This could be a property with a self contained in-law suite with its own private entrance, kitchen, bathroom e.t.c, or you can rent out a spare room in your home to a tenant that you have taken the time to screen properly for compatibility. The goal is that you apply the rent payments you collect each month towards your mortgage, which will result in you reducing the number of years and interest you end up paying on your house.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none; max-width: 800px; max-height: 600px;\" src=\"http:\/\/rcm-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/cm?t=school0de-20&amp;o=1&amp;p=48&amp;l=ur1&amp;category=homeimpv_deals_april&amp;banner=0HNAF4EW6C1PA9V8ATR2&amp;f=ifr&amp;linkID=3ZR2QSQCNBI6U5BT\" width=\"728\" height=\"90\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Do you know that depending on the interest rate, if you make the minimum payment on your mortgage each month and do not include any extra top-off amounts, you end up paying almost as much as your initial purchase price of the house in interest ! For example if you buy a $200,000 house and your mortgage is 5% amortized over 25 years, you pay $148,963 in interest.
