Monthly payments are higher with a 15 year , fixed rate mortgage. What are two advantages of a 15 year fixed rate mortgage over a 30 year fixed rate mortgage?

One advantage of a 15 year mortgage is that a home owner pays less total interest. A second advantage is that home owners can pay the home off faster to own it out right.
