If a loan has a prepayment penalty attatched to it would it still be viable to retire it?

In: Loans
[Edit]

Answer

It would depend on whether the savings gained by "retiring" the loan outweighed the disadvantages posed by the pre-payment penalty. Most loans have pre-payment penalties which expire after a short period of time. On mortgage loans, the typical pre-payment penalty runs 1, 3, or 5 years.
