I closed today 8/5/09 on a refinancing for a total of $119,000 with a 15-year note. My first mortgagepayment is not due until 10/1/09. Would making a payment the day of closing make a significant difference? I also have set up to pay bi-weekly payments.
Bi-weekly payments can be a good way to go but I'm a fan of just increasing your payments by an extra $100 or so dollars a month to the same advantage.
Many lenders charge a set up fee for bi-weekly payment. This set up fee can range from $300-$500 and really put a hole in your pocketbook. Paying extra each month doesn't cost you a cent and only saves you money.
Bi - weekly does save money, however difficult determine and render an opinion unless entire file is reviewed.

Check out http://www.bankrate.com/calculators/mortgages for the mortgage calculator. It would likely save you about $1000 at 6% interest.
Congratulations.
