Question: how does the biweekly mortgage payment work?
Answer: If you pay your mortgage monthly, like most homeowners, you're making 12 payments a year. When you enroll in a biweekly payment program, you're paying half your monthly amount once every two weeks instead. There are 52 weeks in a year, so this works out to 26 biweekly payments — or, in effect, 13 monthly payments.
