    If you are wondering how to -
    1. Pay for your mortgage/student loan/car loan using a credit card?
    2. What happened to the credit card interest? Or
    3. Why not apply the $2K in cash directly towards the principal of the mortgage? Then watch my Q&A video for the answers: ua-cam.com/video/vwxaVwjxyZg/v-deo.html

      Hi Laura, I'm so excited to try this strategy but want to run a couple of things by you. I understand the income and other numbers in your video are examples, so, can someone with a take home income (input) of $3000, and an output of $2200, use this strategy? If so, since my mortgage/checking acct./ cc with $0 balance are at one bank, I should call them to see what options they offer for making mortgage payment with cc and 2 other bills that do not accept payments from cc. Any other tips?

      Exactly. Where is the 21% credit card interest every month. If that is taken into consideration, I don't see how the credit card balance can be paid off in 6 months.

      I am lost as to the use of the $5K monthly income. You say pay the LOC down by $5000 from the monthly income. Wouldn't that raise the balance of the LOC to $17K, then you subtract the t=$5K in expenses. I know the numbers are only representative but I'm stuck on the "goes down by $5,000."

      @@brendaharris9606 The 5000 isn't added to the 12,000 its subtracted because once you deposit the 5000 income to your Line of credit it acts as a 5000 dollar payment. Then once you pay your expenses of 3000 the balance is increased by 3000 later in the month as you pay the expense as they come up.

      It's new year. It's almost about that time of the year where Bitcoin gets to Sky Rocket, so many people are ignorant, they are staying on the sideline, waiting for a move up, and the right time to get in. I suspect that the rise will happen in a very short period of time, leaving those waiters behind and their reaction will push the price even higher so that they will end up underwater when BTC is consolidating, I know the price will speed up more, then bleed off and have an extended winter and actually go lower than current lows... Then as it goes higher, All we need to do is invest what we are Holding and make more profit, So we don't feel the loss in fall of price when it happens again, I discovered a comment of someone giving Accolades to Expert Mr. Carlos and also thanking him for helping him increase his Portfolio from having 3.4BTC to 16BTC.

    I told my coworkers I wanted to have a mortgage paid in full before I turn 40 a couple of years ago when I turned 27. I don't think they thought I was serious and that I was living a pipe dream. I worked 4 years prior and the next 4 years on overtime hours every chance I could get, took advantage of the stock market and housing market rally during 2020 and today at the age of 33 I can pay a mortgage in full and live free. It's a nice house, it'll still give me the freedom to move to greater goals...

      I'm really happy for you. Paying off a mortgage is huge. And the freedom that you have to do more of what you want probably feels amazing.
      Keep on keeping on. Eventually if you wanted a new place a nice move could be to make it a rental property and use that cash flow to help pay of the new mortgage.

      Equity in a house will likely be tapped into via a HELOC or straight sale. I believe if they sell, many will go back to renting. And housing supply will inevitably rise. So you can borrow against your home. What could be the best allocation for my $1m liquidity? Perhaps my stock portfolio

      In my opinion, home prices will need to fall by at least 40% before the market normalizes. If you do not know whether to buy a house or not, it is best you seek guidance from a well-experienced advisor for proper portfolio allocation. So far, that’s how I’ve stayed afloat over 5 years now, amassing nearly $1m in return on investments.

    VERY well done ! I say this with 40+ years in mortgage finance & banking working with credit bureaus. Different models and parameters are used by different industries but *850 FINANCIAL ASSESSMENT* info is pretty much universal. If you're trying to max your credit scores, there is a happy medium between too many credit cards and none. Too many cards with zero balnce may actually hurt you in some cases. Even if you do not use them, you have a potential. To always pay cash & still have cards doesn't help your scores as well

    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?

Because if that it helped my credit and I believe that’s what made me finally get approved for navy fed with such a high limit. they're still working on increasing the capital one since it was so low. All in all I’m satisfied.

    So for everyone that thinks a line of credit is a credit card they are 2 different things. A line of credit is a loan from a bank usually with a lot lower interest rate than a credit card. You can also use a line of credit for cash advances hence why you can use it to pay your mortgage. Credit cards you can upto a certain amount and comes with additonal fees. This system seems like it would work if you put your payments all to principal.

    Hi Laura, First of all, I would like to thank you for your clear explanation of how to accelerate and pay off a mortgage in just a few years. Since I didn’t have a car loan or credit card payments, I applied for a $20,000 credit line and purchased a multifamily duplex in Sacramento, CA, at the end of 2017. At that time, I bought the home for $340,000; today it is valued at about $560,000. To earn extra income alongside my full-time job, I started a side gig and followed your guidance and principles. As of today, I have only $50,000 left on my loan. The journey has not been easy; I pushed myself to my limits, which required focus and discipline. Thank you for the valuable video you released. Because of your advice, I am where I am today.

  • @oliviasnyder9991
    @oliviasnyder9991 6 років тому +331

    Interesting...I liked all the math you gave! My husband and I paid off our mortgage ($150K house, 11 years ago) in 33 months with extra payments each month towards the principal...we ended up paying a total of $11,000 in interest. The first year of that we lived on one teacher salary. The next two years (little less) we lived on 2 teacher salaries. We had such a tight budget those months and threw everything we could towards it. It was hard but so worth it as we've now invested all that money saved for our retirement and kids colleges...and it allowed me to stay home when we had kids.

    • @lauraanaya6422
      @lauraanaya6422 6 років тому +2

      Olivia Snyder hi so to pay off the house early with your example can i ask how much extra you gave a month, i want to do that with my house pay off faster but not sure how much is recomended to pay off fast? I owe about 160

    • @oliviasnyder9991
      @oliviasnyder9991 6 років тому +59

      Sure thing. For the first year, we paid an extra mortgage payment and made sure to apply it to the PRINCIPAL. Our mortgage was about $970/mo and with taxes it was $1350-ish so we paid the extra $970 the first year (we had a 15 year mortgage). After a year, I got a job (I wasn't living with him the first several months and then student taught so no income). Once I got job we paid another payment towards principal (so a total of 3 payments). After about another year (Year 2 of having house), we decided to add another payment (so total of 4). Then after 32 months of having our house, we had $17,000 left. My husband had been saving a little money for a car during all this and had $17000 saved. He decided it was wiser to put it towards house and be finished with payments and start over saving for his car (we had no kids). We owed $110,000 when we bought it (put $40,000 down). The key to paying it off fast though is to put those extra payments down at the beginning towards your principal since you're paying so much interest at first. You'll knock down that principal faster, therefore owing less interest. We paid a total of $11,000 in interest on our house. It was $150,000 and now worth $250,000 (we live in a booming city in Texas) so we will profit $89,000 since we paid $11,000 interest when we sell (probably more since we don't plan to move for a few years). Hope that helps. Good luck...go for it!

      Mike Garcia , I was able to work a lot of over time and apply most of it directly to principal until the House was paid off.

Now I have a large Heloc on my second home with a 0 bal. out last home will be paid off in about 1 more year. Then debt free. I off set compound interest with simple interest and can still take it as a taxable deduction.

    Laura, thank you for the nice presentation. You are a great teacher.
    A few years ago I did something similar to what you are explaining. I bought a house for cash, but I was $100,000 short, so I took out a bank Line of Credit for $100,000. It was at 9%, but now it might be lower, like 7%.
    If I had taken out a loan I would have had to pay a 2% cap and closing costs, adding up to thousands. Then, as you explained, I would have paid thousands in interest for years.
    The credit line is great because it is a 2 dimensional loan. I put all my income into it and paid my expenses from it. Interest is charge only on the current balance.
    This I paid off the line of credit real fast.

  • @christinec1928

    • @Advic77
      @Advic77 7 років тому

      This is quite good. What I got from this is that you need to be in control of what amount of your payment goes in interest and what amount goes to the principal loan. if you did get an interest only mortgage you can actually make extra payments and state that you want to make payment in lieu of the principal amount hence this will ensure you pay off your mortgage early as well.. But I guess her method allows you to use the credit card as an emergency fund which comes as an added bonus

    • @juanarce6047
      @juanarce6047 7 років тому +4

      You guys are all incorrect, i am a loan officer and i been doing this for many years. You dont owe time to your bank you owe money. I you refinance for a 30 year fix at a lower rate, you payment will drop there for if you continue to pay the same amount that you were paying before the refinance you will be paying your mortgage faster. But if in the other hand you refinance your mortgage and for a 30 y fix with a lower rate and your payment drops $300 dollars and you keep them to your pocket, then yes of course you will be paying in 30 years

    • @Advic77
      @Advic77 7 років тому

      juan arce at the end of the day it's all about paying the principal amount however these three factors interest, rates and time determine that. Understanding the relationship between these 3 factor ultimately can help in paying off the mortgage early. This is the ultimate goal of all those that have a mortgage. QED

    • @camsterasmar975
      @camsterasmar975 7 років тому +1

      juan arce
      Spot on!! There is nothing wrong with refinancing, it just depends how you do it. If you start at 30 years, pay for x years and then refinance back to 30 years then of course it is reset and you are stuck paying the higher interest proportion.
      The key is to reduce the years remaining on the mortgage so more of your money works for you.
      If you have a mortgage you have to start somewhere and the first 5 years are the worst so you just need to get through that and afterwards make sure every change you make reduces the loan term.
      I started with a 30 year mortgage, paid it for 3 years and then refinanced. I got lucky as the rate had dropped so I could have paid less and kept the remaining 27 years term.
      Instead I opted to increase my payment by 20 and with coupled to the lower rate my term dropped to 19 years. 8 years wiped off in an instance.
      I’ve now completed my next fixed term period (during which I’ve made overpayments) and now I can refinance again and this time my LTV should be around 50%, getting a better rate yet again so my term should drop even more.
      Maybe this credit card plan is better but the 21% APR wasn’t included in the calculations. Would be interested to know how that factors in but I’m happy letting my money work towards reducing the mortgage term and not firefighting with a credit card.
      If the credit card was 0% then it would help. While using the credit card surely the same mortgage interest is being applied over those first 6 months??

      Pay off your highest interest rate debt first when possible. If your mortgage is above 4.5% think about refinancing. Do the math however. The cost of refinancing may in the long run not result in a meaningful savings. On the other hand, if you have an investment portfolio returning higher interest than the mortgage, put your free cash in investments not the mortgage. Why dump working capital into a low interest rate vehicle (your mortgage) at the expense of buying higher return investments??

    • @vickijohnson9367
      @vickijohnson9367 3 роки тому

      Use one card, pit it against other cards. All banks can see what you use. Another card above 50% use, call Capital One, let them know the other card is better, what can they do? They raise credit available. After they do, see if they send 0% balance transfer, if they do, use it. Then put another card, against the card you are using. Always keep one card with 0% balance transfer used +50%, pitting all other cards against it. Stop when you reach your goal. Usually takes 6+ cards with 0% balance transfer offers to use algorithms this way.

      Mel Janesko That is correct... For constant cashflow CF1 (fixed income salary) reduce your libilities (aka eliminate daily personal expenses DE1, AND reduce overall mortgage interest MI paid on mortgage loan [by overpaying monthly premium MP to reduce term of mortgage loan]). This assumes standard repayment model (a repayment mortgage with capital repayment option). I would add further...change your model (to a flexible mortgage with interest repayment only option (flexible has 2accounts, a loan account LA and deposit account DA). Then when pay your monthly MP split your payments (pay minimum into LA and maximum into DA). In this way you will reduce the overall mortgage interest MI while still servicing the mortgage loan. As you build up DA your MP will reduce (till your flexible mortgage is fully offset = means zero MP)...then your living in a house where you owe most of mortgage loan, with zero monthly premium MP, the loan will be paid off when you sell the house (by incoming purchaser of house). QED...eliminate your mortgage liabilities while your living in property till you sell property.

(3) Apply financial compass to your knowledge of financial products too seek advantage ..question to ask Q1) what is the point u really start paying off mortgage principle [and stop paying interest on mortgage], Q2) can u move the point using legal means? Yes reduce personal liabilities / pay more to reduce mortgage term Q3) Can u defer paying the whole mortgage loan to end of ur stay in house [yes move to interest only option mortgage] Q4) also what do u hv to do to not pay the capital off every month [yes use interest only mortgage]. Q5) Can u reduce your monthly mortgage premium (yes use flexible Mortgagewith interest only option then try to get fully offset as quickly as possible) Q6) can u eliminate monthly premium completely [yes borrow beg or steal a large capital amount and put it immediately in your mortgage DA, effect=ur monthly payments drop to zero immediately if LA=DA / also u stop adding interest to your Mortgage & stop effect of compounding to ie ur house Mortgage becomes a zero interest loan over 30years OR Ur not paying anything for 30years=the cheapest money u can borrow).

    I just discovered this video... about a year after it was made. I purchased a 300k home 3 years ago. I have been making extra payments toward principal each month since we moved in. I now owe only 200K, so I know systems like this do work. It does take discipline. But it feels good. This video helped me see another way to help myself do even better. ;-)

    • @jakyc29
      @jakyc29 6 років тому +2

      So basically, I will charge $12k on my credit card, use that money towards mortgage interest.
      Now I have a $5k credit card payment in addition to my regular monthly mortgage payment that I charge again monthly, PLUS the interest on the high cc balance.
      This seems to be paying double mortgage and double interests.
      Now, mortgage loans do not allow credit card payments, so do I pull cash from the credit card to pay for my mortgage at an even higher interest rate?
      And the credit card will charge a significant fee for the $12k LOC loan.
      I wish you would explain this.
      Thank you.

It makes absolutely perfect mathematical and financial sense to anyone who actually wants to learn something and pay off their mortgage much faster as opposed to people just looking for something to complain about. The comments about "too much detail" just show how stupid and lazy many people are. Your home is the biggest expense you'll likely ever have. If THIS VIDEO is "too detailed" for you to sit through and understand than you're likely going to go through life with a lot of issues.

  • @627horsepowers
    @627horsepowers 7 років тому +32

    You can do this without using the CC. It might take an extra 6 months initially. Use monthly 1400 savings to pay down initial CC debt. Then when there is a 0 balance CC that will free up 600/month. Save 2000 for 6 months until enough to pay 12,000 towards home loan principal. Or use extra 2000 a month towards principal. And you have a full 15000 emergency credit all year. You can probably even open more CCs.

    • @oricoil
      @oricoil 7 років тому +3

      But without actually using the CC your credit score will remain low and the amount of credit (for emergencies) you will be able to get will possibly not be sufficient.

    • @627horsepowers
      @627horsepowers 7 років тому +4

      Given this UA-cam video numbers, the credit score should already be high, not low as you say "remain low". As time goes on the credit score (might) go down a little. After the house is paid off, cash reserves can be built up quickly (compounding interest) + CC limit (possibly a little smaller) for emergencies. CC should be last resort for emergencies. Your net worth will rise quicker without any debt. If you want to minimize interest payments to mortgages, you can also minimize or no interest payments to CC companies.

      Once you pay down the balance on the credit line, you use the credit line to pay your monthly bills, then pay it off each month from your income in your checking account...You avoid interest on the credit line, but still have activity on the card every month. You raise your credit score, you raise the credit limit on the credit line, you apply any extra income to your mortgage principal every month. On most cards, you can avoid paying interest on purchases if you pay your balance in full each month by the due date. If you did need to use the credit line for some emergency, you revert back to getting it paid down first, then you rinse and repeat above.
      Remember that an APR is an ANNUAL percentage rate, so the entire APR is not applied to your balance on any given date.

    • @kevin8383
      @kevin8383 7 років тому +8

      Ori Cohen that's not how a credit score works. Having a 0 balance on a card still counts as a payment every month. Also having less % of your total available credit in use will raise your score. The only problem you run into is the creditor possibly canceling your card due to inactivity which if you have had the card for some time could effect the average length of your credit history which will significantly effect your score. The way around this is to use your card once a month for something small like gas then pay the balance of immediately. This also prevents you from paying any interest. The video is right in that making extra payments on principal will pay off your loan sooner but using a credit card is retarded.

    This is 100% wrong. The claim is to pay off your mortgage without doubling payments. In this example, i guess it's technically true because she's more than triping the payments, just not every month directly to the bank
    Make 3.5 amortization schedules, use excel and learn how.
    Make one with the traditional mortgage. This will help make sure you built it right and you will also duplicate/clone it to make your other two.
    Make the 2nd (duplicate of first) simply applying $3,000 extra each month as thats the net decrease on her TWENTY-ONE PERCENT LOC (asinine). Just add $3,000 to your $1,200 payment (for a $4,200 monthly payment), it's the same effect.
    Make a third one (convoluted) applying an extra payment every 5 or 6 months (depending on if you want to go negative on your LOC but her idea is to never let the bank have your money, so you must maintain a balance on your 21% LOC and refresh $12,000 every time you go below $3,000 for that month, but you will also never go above your $15,000 limit). Make a other one (the ".5") for your LOC so you accrue and pay you TWENTY-ONE percent interest. You HAVE to account for that interest as it's the cost of using your LOC.
    Build them out until balance is zero (on both accounts for the 3rd using the LOC).
    What you'll find is using her convoluted method, you'll pay $38,500 in mortgage interest and $9,400 in LOC interest, for a total interest amount of $48,000 and payoff in 69 months, or 5.75 years.
    If you just paid $3,000 extrs every month, then you'd pay $29,000 in interest and payoff in 55 months, or 4.58 years.
    It's better to pay off the LOC entirely, stop paying the bank 26% interest, pay off any other smaller debts at higher rates, refinance your ridiculous 6% mortgage into 3%, and then apply extra towards your mortgage. All you're doing with her effed up method is temporarily paying the bank 21% interest 9n money instead of 6%. That's the epitome of financial stupidity. Literally.
    If you really think this is a good idea, you're a simp fooled by a pretty face, perky t1ts, and tight body pushing a product by actuslly lying to your face on numerous levels, but again, the target audience is people who suck at money to begin with so more can be leached away.

Then you have to take out the amount you are forced to pay for health insurance due to the flipping mandate. In our case for 5 in our family it is $1815. So then we are down to $1,950 to work with. And then there are utilities and all kinds of other insurance payments and living expenses and on and on. Very depressing. But I like what you are doing.

      Also consider, if you have a $200k mortgage, the total you pay to the bank is usually between 2 times and 3 times the initial mortgage. So for every extra dollar you put in against the principal, that equals saving $2-3 in the long term.
      I agree most of us live paycheck to paycheck. There was a period about 10 years ago when I couldn't afford to save the lose change in my pocket, I had 50 cents left before my next pay. You know those coins that have the special designs on them.. I started saving those, and forced myself to buy cheaper or less. At the end of the week I was surprised I had $5-8 and that went against the credit card. Every week was a struggle, a tough struggle. Slowly but surely... the debts came down and I was saving $50 a week. A year later one card paid off! Then the next and the next and now I've got only a year or so left to get rid of the mortgage.
      You can do it. Dang if I can do it at $5 a week, you can do it too :) One step at a time, you will find your family can believe it too. All the very best to you!

  • @EduardKorenschi
    @EduardKorenschi 7 років тому +19

    Maybe my math is wrong, but somehow, for the line of credit (credit card or whatever), despite saying you have a 21%APR, you're deducting the 5000$ directly from the principal, forgetting the 21/12 * 12000 interest = 210$. So 5000$ - 3000$ (normal expenses) means you're taking 2000$ off of your credit card loan every month ... that is exactly 600$ (you were paying before: interest-210$ + part of principal) + 1400$ you were uselessly saving. So instead of doing all these exotic calculations, and filling so many boards, why not just say: pay your credit card first (and forget the savings), then all those extra 2000$ now put them to pay back your principal of the home loan??? Unless you have indeterminately free (0 interest) credit cards in the place you're from. Otherwise, once the credit card incurs a 21% interest ... you can't beat those 6%, no matter how you force it.

What I'm planning on doing when I purchase a new home is pay an additional 1,000 a month on my principal. I don't know if the bank will allow you to pay extra.
      She's right about people paying for their house twice to the bank.

We'd go for a walk and find a couple bucks on the ground and rejoice as if we had won the lottery.

Then pay $2000.00 extra a month until the car is paid off. Then in say 5 years or whenever the car is paid off take that $600.00 and pay towards the mortgage and in 6 years and 6 months (or sooner depending on when the car is paid off) your mortgage is paid off. as well as your car note and credit card. Interest may be about the same depending on the interest rate on the car loan and the number of years left to pay off the car.

    @TruthOrConsequences2 6 років тому +54

    I heard all your arguments.
    Why not just apply principal only payments? Hmm, now just think about that for a moment and here's what you'll find...cash flow problem! You need to tighten your belt as they say but do you really? Laura explains the strategy where you don't use any more money than you were before (that's the import point). You have your checking/savings account money working 24x7 against the CC balance (called paycheck parking) that consists of both a temporary (elapsed time between paycheck parking and bill payments) & a permanent reduction (equal to your cash flow).
    It's not just a theory (playing armchair quarterback), I'm actually "doing it". Proof positive that it works. It works in the real world. If you remember anything, remember time and balance are much more important than interest rate. I know we've been taught otherwise. We've been taught wrong.
    Go to your mortgage calculators and make a double payment the 1st month, how much interest did you save? That's what you really need to know about how this process works.
    Interest for both Mortgages & Lines of Credit are calculated on the average daily balance. Banks have designed (or rather fooled) us into thinking to pay monthly payments which maximizes the average daily balances during the month. Interest on a mortgage is front loaded with interest, in the first 5 years you will pay approximately 90% interest, 10% principal (varies according to interest rate). Let that soak in
    Here's the way I do it...instead of a 21% CC, I use a HELOC & 0% CC's. No interest charges on the CC's. I have a 1st lien HELOC that eliminates the need for a mortgage. I deposit my paycheck directly into the HELOC, this will work down the balance of the HELOC for 3 or 4 months. During this time I use 0% CC's to pay bills and every 3 or 4 months pay down the CC's directly from the HELOC. Rinse and repeat. The results would be unbelievable except they are right in front of me. We have about 3 years left until payoff, saving many thousands of dollars. The technique works...Period.
    I put together a playlist of youtube video's that demonstrates different techniques from different vendors. I have no dog in the race but just want people to get out from underneath their self imposed financial prison...

      Yes. The HELOC makes more sense provided you have positive cash flow ($5K income and only $3K total expenses). Using a CC at 21% interest rate doesn't sound safe. Plus Laura forgot to include the 3-4% transfer fee when she transfer the money from the CC to the mortgage. A $12K payment transfer from CC to mortgage would create a transfer fee of around $400 which is not efficient method.

    • @phongluu2091

The credit card or line of credit allows a person to have the cushion that they need in the event of unforeseen circumstances. By taking all of your money and not saving anything you no longer have a cushion to work with. If you have a positive cash flow and spend all the extra money on principal payments then you're left with nothing when you're in need. This strategy helps to create a positive cash flow by effectively eliminating the individual credit card payment giving you more to work with every month.

    Laura; it’s good that you start with a disclaimer because your advice is a mix of good and less than good advice. You have done a long drawn out demonstration to simply prove or suggest that 1) those who have excess monthly cash flow, instead of saving it and getting 1% return use it to pay down highest interest loans; ie 21% line of credit; 2) keep line of credit only for emergencies 3) once line of credit is paid off use the excess cash flow now $2000 toward your mortgage. In theory this works, but you must understand in real life the mortgage payback restraints usually restrict making multiple principal payments by applying early payment penalties. 4) so timing is key so you will need to understand the terms and conditions of each mortgage. 5) it’s never good to borrow from line of credit at 21% to pay down on mortgage loan of 6%. 6) finally you haven’t shown how to pay off mortgage in 5-7 years like your video title states. That’s misleading! And a waste of time.

      Hojo70; no matter how you spin it; it’s never good to borrow at a higher rate of interest to pay down on lower interest debt. Thinking there is some special formula or great reveal when you “run the numbers” is creating an unjustifiable myth that this is possible. Anyone watching this should do so with caution. Some common good advice was given in the video like: 1) review your monthly cash flow receipts and payments to determine if you are in a deficit or surplus cash flow; 2) if you have surplus cash flow and want to use it to improve your financial position one way is to use these excess funds to pay down your debt with the highest interest rate first; 3) you may also consider using any funds used for investment or savings only if after tax return on investment is less than interest cost on your current debt; 4) once you pay off your line of credit at 21%; unless you have a real emergency I personally would avoid using any debt at 21%; 5) people should be aware that there are mortgages out there that may allow you to apply automatically any surplus funds you keep in an an account to your mortgage and allow you to draw down on your mortgage balance for monthly expenses. These are special mortgages with special terms and conditions that enable conditions to save you interest over the life of your mortgage and reduce your overall amortization period; that is hinted at in this video; but do not require you to borrow at 21%.

      Consider 3 scenarios:
      1. 200,000 mortgage at 6% over 30 years result in $231,676.38 interest
      2. Laura’s suggestion to Borrow $25,000 from 21% LOC to reduce mortgage principal. By dropping mortgage by $25,000 and maintaining payments at $1,200 = $175,000; reduce overall amortization to 22 years and total estimated interest cost $140,580.40. In this scenario we must also consider the $25,000 LOC at 21%. Using the excess $2,000 per month to pay off LOC will take 1.185 years, payments of $2,000; total interest $3,451.87. Add this to mortgage interest = $144,032.27. This is a better financial position than scenario 1; but not nearly as good as the next scenario. Requires repeating process. Puts mortgagee at higher risk since LOC is at 21%.
      3. Use $2,000 excess funds to simply increase mortgage payments by $2000, which would reduce overall amortization to 6.25 years and total estimated interest cost $40,332.06.
      Option 3 is simple and a viable option when choosing mortgage terms and conditions.

    Its great in theory, but here is an idea. Instead of continue to use your credit card after it is paid off, (and continue to pay interest) just use your checking account and apply all extra income above expenses to the mortgage monthly. And just an FYI your credit score will still increase if you do not use the card. Credit scores are over rated anyhow. You can do just about anything in this world with no credit score it just may take a little longer. Some say there is good debt, but I believe ALL debt is bad and before someone flies off the hinges and asks me how much debt I have, first off that is none of your business but yes I have debt. It takes years to fix a problem that you make in one day sometimes. I have paid off 86k in 12 months on a 77k salary. scratching your head on that one huh??? I sold stuff that was unnecessary and a ton of it at that. I then applied all the money I got from selling stuff to the balance on cards/loans. So not only did I eliminate a debt by selling my truck, I also received an excess of 8k and immediately applied that to credit cards. I am officially down to just cars, student loans, and my house. Any way I respect the information you presented and if it works for some go for it. I would just suggest once the card is paid off cut the dang thing up and all excess money be paid to the mortgage till its gone. With the exception of saving 6 months of living expenses first in the event of an emergency.

      Wes D I agree totally about taking care of your family. But as life progresses hopefully we become wiser and more financially stable. This affords is the opportunity to follow steps to help us become even more financially stable and hope change future generations. I for one want to leave my kids and grand kids a nice bit of money but I am also wanting to teach by example. The best wealth building tool you have is your income. Without it 99.9999999% of people would not be able to retire. I would rather “keep” my money than pay interest making it harder for those in the finance industry to retire off of my hard work.

    Really interesting, I knew about how extra principal payments were good but never thought about how much interest is being saved by using my line of credit instead of money sitting in both savings and checking accounts, you think you're being sensible by saving up.

    It took me a while to understand it because I felt like I could just pay more every month and be done quicker, but I think I got what people are talking about. The fact is that you might not have the huge sum of money the line of credit can offer. the line of credit allows you to remove a huge some from your loan quickly so that your payment due date can be postponed for later. That time you pay back the line of credit with your paycheck because it is like a credit card and the interest is not set up like the car loans and such. Then, when it is time to pay the loan again, you dump the newly paid line of credit amount again, which remove another huge sum of money. I think I got the gist of it.

      If you have $2000/mo positive cash flow as described in Laura's scenario, you can simply pay off your mortgage in 5 years by just making an extra $2000 towards your principal at the end of every month. I don't see the point of using her strategy

      She just explained it, and it's actually freaking brilliant. I almost quit watching a few minutes in, and had some really negative comments, but I'm glad I watched the whole thing through. This is the first new thing I've seen in decades, and there is no question it can work - but the key is you absolutely *must* ensure that the bank knows those payments with the credit card are to specifically go to principal on the mortgage.
      And no, you can't do this from the comfort of your home computer like making a normal credit card payment. You will actually have to *go* to the bank, or at the very least call them, to explain what you want to do, and to ensure that the payment gets credited appropriately. If they screw up and credit it as only a regular payment, because *you* don't make it crystal clear what you want to do, then no, it's not possible at all.

      line-of-credit is different from a credit card. Line-of-credits are revolving loans, and you can write checks out of them to go toward any bill, including the mortgage. You can also get a debit card for the line of credit account.

    She is absolutely correct. Some people fall for refinance, banks send you letter to refinance every 4-5 years with little lower interest rate to get back to same circle and collect more interest rate. Some banks trick you with no fee. If your house has equity use that and get a HELOC(Line of Credit) it is much lower than CC. Max the HELOC by paying of Original Home Loan. Do as she suggests in the video. Never keep your money in the bank in checking or savings. One more benefit you will see is your tax return when you file in April.

    I don't think you can use a credit card for this strategy. If I'm not mistaken you can't pay other loans with a credit card. You would have to take out cash advances every month an pay cash advances fees and higher interest. Now, a home equity line of credit (HELOC) could work because you can use it just like you would use a checking account and write checks out if with no penalties.

      Hello Denis, thank you for your question. There is a loophole you can take your credit card and link it to your checking account for overdraft protection that way you can make the payment to your mortgage from your bank account, and that $12,000 would get charged from your credit card.

      Dividing expense in two categories his best. First expenses that can be charged to a credit card such has daily living expenses,some reccuring payments can also be put on a credit card like a cell phone bill or car insurance. This gives you an extra 1% back if the card your using has cashback rewards. Second the others expenses that cant go trough a CC will pass directly in the checking Account. One thing she hasnt mentionned his that the LOC has to be linked to the checking account. Expense and payments goes in and at midnight each day the checking account goes back to a 0 balance. The payments get absorbed by the LOC making extra payments and when an expense comes in it comes out of the LOC. The credit card get paid in full from the LOC at the end of the month automaticaly. No interest is charged on the CC if paid in full every month. You save huge amounts of interest by doing it that way.

    One thing i never see explained in these VB videos is why it makes more sense to do it this way, than to say just pay the extra $1000/month direct to your 1st mortgage. If you covered it in your video and i missed it, can you point out the time you covered it? Thanks!

    • @beetheace
      @beetheace 7 років тому +4

      Most likely it's the 2 dimensional liquidity that increases over shorter time segments thereby boosting a credit score faster and leading to higher accessible credit lines to subsidize business/living expenditures. If you own a business, this is critical. If you want to stay an employee and not access extra lines of credit to purchase assets, then you are mostly correct in following the direct 1st mortgage payments with the same cash, just ensure it goes to Principal.

    • @laurapitko6404
      @laurapitko6404  7 років тому +20

      Hi Dalton1981, thank you for your question. The reason why this strategy is beneficial is because of 1st, the speed factor and 2nd, it saves you a lot in interest as I demonstrated on the app "Karl's Mortgage Calculator" in the video the amount of interest that is paid if one where to make the regular monthly payments for the 30 year duration of the loan. Now to really answer your question if you were to make an additional payment of a $1,000 towards the principle of your home mortgage every month it would be great however it is not getting you down that amortization schedule line quickly enough because we also are making regular monthly mortgage payments of $1,200 and most of it is going towards interest, but when we use VB and make a $12,000 paydown on principal on the amortization schedule we are hitting that intersection point faster where we are able to avoid those interest payments (remember in my video when I mentioned it is only at the 17 year mark that the payment is starting to make an impact towards principal paydown instead of interest, well by leveraging the speed that VB gives us it allows us to progress down that time line at an accelerated rate and we avoid having our money go towards interest. Please let me know if my answer was able to provide clarity.

    • @paulac875
      @paulac875 7 років тому +3

      dalton1981 that's what I plan to do. I think she didn't say pay that extra money because it will not be a revolving line of money. Because when you give that extra 1000 a month to the bank on the house you don't get to use it again. It just goes to the bank.

    I wish i saw this video earlier! I knew zero about credit cards cause my parents always told my brothers and I that credit cards are these terrible things that will screw you over and that we don't need credit scores. Then my dad told me to get one last year after having to co-sign on an apartment with my brother who's 28 and makes a lot of money but without credit they demanded a co-sign. So I was the first one thrown into the water without any knowledge on how it all works or a good one to get so I went with a Capital One platinum card and have a 500 dollar limit with my spotify set up on it. However I think im gonna get one of these as well and use it for my day to day spending so I can pay it in full every month. Thank you for the recommendations!

    you could avoided paying another 7500+ in interest over 5 years by avoiding putting the 12000 on the line of credit and just put the cash flow 2k as a principle payment each month... and from what i see any time you use over 50% of a line of credit it reflects negatively on your score...
