Thanks to someone here on LoT (I can't recall who, but I wish I could to thank them again), I use this handy tip:
Always think of "it's" as the contraction of "it is". If "it is" doesn't fit in your usage, it should be "its" (no apostrophe).

What about a 15 year mortgage? You significantly reduced your cost of money (vs a 30-year loan). Unless you buy a mansion that costs four times what you get for your condo, your monthlies should be relatively painless.
