It's true, B of A does not have the Bi-Weekly option, so I went to the Amortization schedule and looked up how much I would need to add to the principle monthly in order to pay the loan off quicker. Depending on how much extra I have to spare that month, I add it to the principle. It will take some discipline, but I want to retire early (after my house is paid off)!

you have to set up the Bi-Monthly payment optin with your mortgage holder- you can not just pay half your mortgage at the beginning of the month and the second half on the 15th- it isn't that easy. Many of these institutions will also charge you an upfront fee to set up your bi-monthly payment. Be aware of these stipulations before u send off half ur mortgage payment this month.

If BOFA won't allow you to make bi weekly payment, just add a little to the principal every month.

Wells Fargo is great and we make bi-weekly payments. It actually shows our mortgage balance decreasing faster as we get quarterly statements vs. monthly.
