*太长不看中文版* 因为中外文化的差别，有些国内的朋友认为先还房贷不如做理财更划算。大家可以根据自己的具体情况权衡。
１.除了基本生活费、退休投资和教育投资以外的钱都应该用于还房贷。
２.如何计算每月的付款
- 根据贷款年数（15年/30年）查出每贷款$1,000所需的利率
- 每月付款=（售价/1000）x 利率
３. 思考是否需要重新贷款
- 每月所省存款= 现在的本金和利息（不包括税和保险）-新的本金和利息
- 月数=房屋成交手续费/每月所省存款
- 如果将要居住的月数 > 计算的月数 —> 可以考虑重新贷款
４.15年按揭优于30年按揭；固定利率按揭优于调息按揭；每月付款应小于月收入的25%。
５. 房贷计算器

CHAPTER 11: PAYOFF THE HOME MORTGAGE
Key Concept #1：Start an Acceleration Payment Plan to Pay Off Your House Loan
- Baby Step Six: Pay Off Your Home Mortgage：EVERY dollar you can find in your budget above basic living, retirement investing, and college funding should be put into making extra payments on your home.
- How to Figure Your New Payment
１).Get the 15-year and 30-year rates for monthly payment per $1,000 in Loan Amount
2).Monthly Payment = (Sale Price/1,000) x Rate
- Should I Refinance? When refinancing, ask for a “par” quote, which means zero points and a zero origination fee.
1).Monthly Savings = Current Principal and Interest Payment (without taxes & insurance) - New Principal and Interest Payment
2).Number of Months to Break Even=Total Closing Costs / Saving
3).If you will stay in your home longer than the number of months to break even, you are a candidate for a refinance.
- Figure the change in your Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM).
Myth:
- It is wise to keep my home mortgage to get a tax deduction.
- I should borrow the maximum amount I can on my home (refinancing to get cash out) because of the great interest rates right now – and then invest the money at a high rate
- I would be smart to take out a home-equity loan as my “emergency fund”.
Truth:
- A fifteen-year mortgage is better than a thirty-year mortgage.
- It’s better to have a fixed-rate mortgage, even if the rate is higher, than to have an adjustable-rate mortgage( ARM) or balloon mortgage.
Key Concept #2：If at All Possible, Pay Cash for Your House
- What I DO tell people is that they should never take more than a fifteen-year, fixed-rate loan, and that their payment should never be more than 25% of their take-home pay.

读书笔记的思维导图:
结合书和练习册一起看，思路更清晰。（亚马逊上略贵，可以在一些二手书网站上买旧书更划算）。
