Is an annuity or a linear mortgage better for me?

A linear mortgage costs less in total interest and builds equity faster, but has higher payments at the start, while an annuity mortgage spreads costs more evenly and is easier to qualify for. The best choice depends on your budget now, how quickly you want to repay, and your view on the falling interest deduction over time. Both qualify for mortgage interest deduction.
