Precast concrete is a construction product produced by casting concrete in a reusable mold or form which is then cured in a controlled environment, transported to the construction site and lifted into place. In contrast, standard concrete is poured into site-specific forms and cured on site.
What They Are. Semi-monthly payments are payments made twice per month on the 1st and 15th rather than once per month on your regular due date. The balance due remains unchanged; if your mortgage is $1,200 per month, you would make a payment of $600 twice each month.
The Bi-Weekly Mortgage: 13 Payments Per Year. A bi-weekly mortgage payment program is meant to short-circuit your loan's amortization schedule. Instead of taking 12 payments per year, the bi-weekly payment plan asks for one payment every two weeks, which adds up to 13 payments per year.Except that you can't make 13 payments per year on your mortgage -- that's not how a mortgage works.ith a mortgage, you pay a certain amount of interest on an annual basis and that amount is covered in your first twelve payments. The 13th payment has to go somewhere, though, so it gets applied to your principal balance; the amount that you still owe to the bank. And, this is how a bi-weekly payment plan works.
