Yes. It saves interest by repaying part of the principal sooner (two weeks vs. one month) -- so even if your total annual payments are the same, you loan will be paid off in less time. Principal dollars being returned to the lender more frequently translates into less time each average dollar was outstanding and accruing interest.

How much faster will you pay off your mortgage if you make biweekly payments?
Paying off your loan BI_WEEKLY shortens the interest on your loan. It's important because the first (many) years ---- you're paying on interest, not principal. By paying "bi-weekly", you're paying more on principal than interest. Which means that you're paying less on interest and more on principal, which will shorten the length of your loan obligations. Good luck --- JIM

What if your name was on the mortgage application and the note but didn't make it onto the mortgage which was in the name of the co-owner only. can you get out of paying that debt?
You could not be approved for a mortgage because your credit was too poor and you needed a co-signer. Your co-signer was wise enough to arrange that the title be in his name also. You signed the mortgage application and the note. Through inadvertence and error the bank didn't have you sign the mortgage. It has enough evidence to "reform" the mortgage in court. You are responsible for paying the debt.
