Kevin Martini called Episode 31 of the Martini Mortgage Podcast the Month End Myth. This special podcast was recorded because many people believe that closing at the end of the month matters hence, the month end myth!\\xa0 Why one believe the myth is not important.\\xa0 What matter is understanding that closing on a mortgage at the first of the month or closing on a mortgage in the middle of the month or closing on a mortgage on the last ay of the month you cost are all the same.\\xa0
HOW DOES MORTGAGE INTEREST WORK? it is not noice to know, it is important to know that:\\xa0Mortgage interest in ONLY paid when you have used the money.\\xa0 Mortgage interest is paid in arrears.

Rent, generally, is paid on the 1st of the month and you are paying for the month in advance.\\xa0 In the mortgage world, you are paying your interest in arrears.\\xa0 All mortgage payments are due on the first of the month. Since there are many options of days when one can close on a real estate transaction, this could cause a wealth of mortgage due dates. To resolve this and to keep everything uniformed with a first of the month due date and to keep mortgage interest paid in arrears there I something called interim interest.\\xa0 Interim interest is paid at the closing table.\\xa0 It is my opinion, interim interest should not be considered a real closing cost.\\xa0
