    We call this strategy & method: Accelerated Banking.
    It has many names from different organizations such as Sweep Strategy, Velocity Banking, Mortgage Acceleration, Pill Method, HELOC Strategy, etc.... It has SOOOO many names. But... the REAL name is Accelerated Banking
    This strategy hails from Australia. And in Australia, it is reported that 1 out of 4 people use this strategy to pay off their mortgage.
    The strategy involves using a Simple Interest HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit) to pay off your mortgage. It's taking advantage of several things...
    1. Lower Average Daily Balance = Less Interest You Gotta Pay.
    Using the Open & Revolving nature of the HELOC, we're going to use the HELOC to make a principal payment against the mortgage which further reduces the interest owed as well as the time spent to pay off the mortgage. But now you have a balance on your HELOC. This is where you use your income and savings to knock down the principal balance on the HELOC which allows you to lower the average daily balance YET... Still use the income to cover your expenses out of the HELOC
    2. Double Income Utilization
    This is a concept where you use ALL of your income to reduce the balance of your HELOC but still being able to use the same income to cover your expenses. In one variation of the strategy, we introduce credit cards to hold all of our expenses while our HELOC is to use to wipe out the balance of the HELOC at the end of each credit card statement period.
    3.HELOC is now your new "Savings Account"
    By throwing all of our extra savings into the HELOC instead of your savings account, you can actually expect to save 4-7% interest (depending on the HELOC rate), instead of trying to earn 1-2% APY on a savings account. It's a matter of opportunity cost. By decreasing the balance of the HELOC with the savings, you're saving interest by whatever the amount you have "deposited" against the HELOC.

    In response to all of the negative comments, if someone doesn't understand something they should not do it. If they do understand the math and the benefit then go for it. What he is talking about takes a financially stable individual with a lot of discipline. For example, I use my credit card for all expenses, pay it off in full before the due date, and reap the rewards of the 2% cash back. That takes discipline and a steady income and is not for everyone.

    I did the math - yes it generally checks out, but there is a much much simpler way to do this if you have the extra positive cash flow. Just dump all your extra cash flow into the mortgage principle every month. Get similar results for the same reason (paying principle down EARLY in the amortization curve = biggest saving in interest and time). But with WAY less risk and WAY less need to follow a complex scheme. Just extra payments.
    Also avoids all possible risks of a HELOC like the bank closing it, the adjustable rate, and any other hardships. If you are in dire straits and any point, just stop the extra payment, ask for forebearance, etc.
    So not saying it's a scam or bad or anything - but extra payments is the way to go for folks that want to keep it simple.

      @@ukjw2 There is a theoretical edge possible if you "use your HELOC as a bank account" b/c they suggest that you time the credit card pay off date and your paycheck date(s) so that you maximize the time your payments are sitting on a credit card (at no interest during the billing period) and then you pay the credit card off near your paycheck date.
      It's complicated, and I don't even wanna do the math around it to see how much that actually saves over time, but it's peanuts compared to extra principle payments on your normal mortgage is my gut feel.

      I agree, just use the KISS rule. Pay down the principal of the mortgage so it reduces the amount of interest incur. In my mind the HELOC strategy only works if 1) the rate of the HELOC is less than the interest rate on the mortgage and 2) if you have a rental property you would use the HELOC for the monthly payment. This way you get an income deduction on interest when you file your taxes.

    Presently, mortgage rates have reached their highest point since the year 2000, spanning a period of 23 years. Considering inflation trends, there's a possibility that this figure might continue to escalate. To provide context, the 30-year fixed rate was only at 5% around this same time last year. Faced with this scenario, the question arises: should I continue waiting in anticipation of a potential housing market downturn before making a purchase, or is it more prudent to shift my attention towards the equity market?

    One large risk seems to be that a lender can freeze a HELOC if the they deem the LTV is not in their favor. So, you can no longer use this process, and perhaps any savings you were hoping to use on other things such as a car or college for kids also gets locked in. I wonder if you could address this issue.

  • @rogaineablar5608
    @rogaineablar5608 4 года назад +1

    So people who use auto-payment might get hit with a fee when charging the monthly bill to a card (as opposed to a bank EFT) and even with 'manual' online payment, they often get hit with a 2-3% charge when using a card. Additionally, some HELOCs have a $500+ minimum withdrawal (check your loan's terms). It's probably better to use an actual checking account in place of the card if you are looking to avoid interest/fees and can support normal expenses. The HELOC part still makes sense to reimburse the checking account, assuming you direct-deposit your salary.

    So I just want a clarification. Say my mortgage payment is 1900. The only way this helps me in the future is if I pay monthly say 2200 so that additional 300 dollars go into principal only. But because the heloc acts as credit card then it's like I still have more money to spend. So then my question is why use a heloc and not just put the additional principal directly. I dont know if I'm missing something.

      Absolutely, having an emergency fund is crucial. The strategy focuses on using your cash flow effectively by depositing your paycheck into the HELOC. This way, you reduce your principal and save on interest while still having access to your funds if needed.

      @iptvclub1575 2 года назад

      It should have been noted that this is a POST Budget strategy. You have to be spending less than you make and have your budget in order to optimize how much you can chunk. So it’s not for everyone.
      To answe your question, let assume you make a 25,000 chunk and your cash flow after all expenses are paid is 2k a month. Let’s assume you make $7000 a month and it’s paid on the first. So when you do the chunk you have a balance of $25 k on HELOC. As soon as you get paid on the first you deposit your entire paycheck into the HELOC, which then brings the balance down to $18k. Since with HELOC you pay interest daily only on the outstanding daily balance (interest rate /365 x outstanding balance). So it’s in your interest to keep your money in the HELOC as long as possible. Now throughout the month you only take out money to pay your expenses, but that happens throughout the month (not all at once) by the end of the month you have you $5,000 spend coming back out of the HELOC, and your balance is now $23,000. The key to this is that even with your HELOC being at say 5% you didn’t really pay 5% on the entire 25k, because you used your income to put the balance to 18k and slowly over the month brought it back up to 23k.

    Hello Everyone, To anyone who has used the HELOC Strategy/Velocity Banking. I have a MAJOR question:
    Once you paid down any given the debt, such as a Credit Card, do you allow that money to continue to attack the HELOC meaning: just let it do it’s thing while recycling through the HELOC in turn paying down the HELOC faster, allowing you to perform another pull of whatever amount you usually pull for the big chunk payment. OR do you take that extra amount that you have and use it in a Snowball effect?
    Thanks All.

      There isn't all that much difference in the math. It completely depends on your situation, the terms of your mortgage and HELOC, etc. Use the calculator to get a sense for the financials, but...
      The real difference is that the HELOC is what Sam called "open ended." If you make an extra mortgage payment this month, that decision is final. If your situation changes in six months, you can't redeploy that cash. A HELOC is a relatively low-cost way to maintain more liquidity.
      @MichaelGamber isn't wrong that they're selling, of course. They're presenting optimistic numbers and assuming a lot of financial discipline. And they're hoping to hook you so you'll buy resources from them. But that doesn't mean their math is wrong -- and they gave you the spreadsheet to test the numbers for yourself.

      If you really could put all your income in on the 1st, and pay out on the 31st, the difference would be the interest on the value of your paycheck each month. That is the entire difference. In a perfect scenario, call it $30/mo. for someone with average salary.
      -- But nobody gets paid once a month, so cut the $30 in half
      -- Credit card payment date likely isn't the 31st, cut it some more
      -- HELOCs come with fees...cut it some more
      -- If HELOC rate is higher than the mortgage rate, you lose money
      -- HELOC has risk....what's the value of the risk?

  • @thenecessitarian
    @thenecessitarian Год назад +4

    Seems like it should work....however, it seems to me that there's a catch in that your mortgage payment isn't charged based on your mortgage balance, it's based on the money you borrowed. That is to say if you borrowed 100k at the start of your mortgage and your balance today is 5k dollars then you're still paying the full amount on the bill for 100k until you pay off the balance in full. So if you use a heloc to pay down a mortgage balance you're going to get charged two payments instead of one..... So, unless you completely reshuffle your debt by paying off the entire mortgage balance in one swoop using the heloc, then your monthly payments may increase quite significantly depending on how much money you borrowed against the equity and what the interest rate for that heloc account is. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

    • @raiden031
      @raiden031 6 месяцев назад

      The minimum monthly payment is fixed based on the starting balance, Interest rate, and term. But paying down will lower the balance and change the ratio of principle to interest for all future payments, saving you money. But using a HELOC is not a useful way to accomplish this, just paying down directly from a checking account is

  • @myfinancialsuccess2704
    @myfinancialsuccess2704 4 года назад +4

    You CAN'T borrow more money at a higher interest rate, to pay down lower interest rate debt quicker.
    The only argument here is that you are front loading that monthly mortgage payment and some HELOCs use daily or weekly compound interest. We are talking about *possible* pennies not counting the numerous fees, problems, and headaches these loans bring.
    Then you would need to have cashflows so significant to save whatever your positive cash flow average balance is that month. If you have 50k in expenses and 50k in cash flow each month, you wouldn't (I hope) take out a HELOC. If you had such large positive cash flows, you should stick them towards your loan balance and avoid the HELOC all together.
    The argument comes in because simple interest is amortized over the life of the loan. That means you pay a percentage on the balance due that month in interest expense and the rest goes towards the principal of the loan (for example, 3.5%/12 = .29%, or 1/3 of a percent of the total principal due). This means that on a $1,000 house payment towards a $150,000 balance loan, 44% of your ***payment*** is going towards interest.
    This doesn't mean you are paying 44% today, that's just silly!
    In a HELOC, the interest is calculated with compound interest, at a (horrible adjustable) rate greater than that of your mortgage. The interest expense realized each month is the same as that of the mortgage (or more because the interest rate is more). And you pay this interest IMMEDIATELY. Generally you only pay interest in a HELOC for a few years, however I have a video where my example also shared what would happen if you made extra payments to get the HELOC paid off in 3.5 years. You end up paying MORE for the HELOC + Home loan than if you just put those extra payments towards your home loan instead to get it paid off faster.
    When you put it into an amortization schedule and calculate the actual interest expense for each option (which is what is the only difference), the HELOC is more because it has a higher interest rate. I walk through all of these details in my video.

He left out that you probably want to but 40-45k on the house but not max the HELOC out. Then you put 5k per month on your HELOC acting as your checking account and pay your bills monthly using 3k of your 5k while paying back your HELOC monthly with the other 2k. Once you do this for say 6 months or however long you want to do it you have paid back 12k back to your HELOC.
