Deductions & credits

@S7ngod - agreed it's the balances and not the payments...but zeros do not come into play here.  and he could have a balance higher than the SUM of the two mortgages because they are overlapping by two months:

 

Jan: $255

Feb: $253 + $800

March: $251 + $798

April : $796

May: $794

June: $792

July: $790

Aug: $788

Sept $787

Oct: $786

Nov.: $785

Dec: $784

 

The average is going to be in and around $788,000 (take the sum of the 12 months and divide by 12)
