Generally the payments will be due at the beginning of the month and mortgage lenders begin assessing late fees on the 15th of the month.
What's In Your Mortgage Payment
When you receive your first bill, here are a few things you will see:
- Principal Amount: This is the portion that goes toward paying down your balance.
- Interest: Essentially this is the amount you're paying to the bank to borrow the original balance.
- Taxes: Real Estate Taxes can either be included as part of your monthly payment or they can be paid separately throughout the year. Make sure you understand this requirement before closing!
- Insurance: This is your hazard insurance (fire) which protects your home and belongings.
- Mortgage Insurance: Depending on the type of Arizona mortgage loan you have, this will be an additional payment that's unrelated to your hazard insurance. Lenders often require this when the Loan to Value is greater than 80% and is meant to protect the lender if the borrower fails to pay back the loan.
