One mortgage payment can have a few moving pieces. Here’s where the money may go: 🏠
🏡 Principal reduces the amount you owe on the loan.
💰 Interest is the cost of borrowing that money.
🧾 Escrow, when included, sets aside funds for expenses such as property taxes and homeowners insurance so they can be paid when due.
One payment. Multiple pieces. Understanding the breakdown can help buyers build a more complete monthly budget and make that first mortgage statement much less mysterious.
