IN THE MORTGAGORS’
INTERESTS
Our policy of permitting mortgagors to make
larger payments than those stipulated in the
mortgage, allows the borrower to create a reserve
which will carry him through possible future
periods of reduced income.
As a First Federal Savings mortgagor, you are
never penalized for these larger payments—they
benefit. Interest payments are immediately re
duced and so long as the principal balance re
mains below the amount required by regular pay
ments, mortgagors are considered prepaid.
