I am sorry that I do not go back and peruse old threads more often; I missed
this one.

The neat thing about our 40-year MTA is that there is no hit to the rate or
margin. Consequently, while the borrower will obviously pay more interest
over 40-years, as Scott-with-a-dollar-sign figured out with his
four-function calculator, they actually acrue less interest due each month.
Because there is less interest due, there is less interest deferred. Make
sense?

Grab your HP (or one of the many spreadsheets available for this loan), and
do the calcs.

Now, it's Monday morning; everybody back to work!
