Soak time. The length of time you marinate food depends on both the food and the marinade. Delicate fish, shellfish, and fruit usually soak for a shorter period of time (from 20 minutes to a few hours), while meats can go longer (up to a day or two).
Having your taxes and insurance included in your mortgage payment is actually very convenient. Instead of having to pay an annual insurance premium and half of your annual taxes on April 30th and the second half on October 31st, the lender establishes an automatic savings plan for you.
Obviously to pay off the mortgage faster you need to pay more principle, especially at the front when 90-95% of your payment is interest. These mortgage acceleration programs promise to set this up for you while also not increasing the total amount you spend each month. So if your mortgage is $1,000 per payment, youâll still end up paying $1,000 per month yet somehow pay the mortgage off faster.
