Criticism
Many real estate experts argue that keeping an existing monthly payment mortgage and making one extra payment each year will result in the same savings as a Biweekly Mortgage payment plan would. They also argue that some mortgage companies charge large amounts of service fees to convert a mortgage to a Biweekly payment plan, and this may constitute an indecorous business practice on behalf of these mortgage companies. Another argument against a Biweekly Mortgage is that the lender and 3rd party processors place the first half of the monthly payment into holding until the second half of the monthly payment is applied. This system allows the bank to minimize profitability losses from the program. The Biweekly Mortgage payment program would be much more real, lucrative, and less misleading if interest and principal was applied to the account on a biweekly basis.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“Unless criticism refuses to take itself quite so seriously or at least to permit its readers not to, it will inevitably continue to reflect the finicky canons of the genteel tradition and the depressing pieties of the Culture Religion of Modernism.”
—Leslie Fiedler (b. 1917)
“To be just, that is to say, to justify its existence, criticism should be partial, passionate and political, that is to say, written from an exclusive point of view, but a point of view that opens up the widest horizons.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
“Cubism had been an analysis of the object and an attempt to put it before us in its totality; both as analysis and as synthesis, it was a criticism of appearance. Surrealism transmuted the object, and suddenly a canvas became an apparition: a new figuration, a real transfiguration.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
