    Always a hard choice to pay down the mortgage or invest...I would rather invest and keep paying the normal payment on my mortgage. I think I will focus on it a little later on in life.

      If you had a $400,000 home would you take out $100,000 from your equity to invest into the stock market that answer would be "no" because their is risk in the stock market, paying off home principal is a 100% guarantee on your money. You cant beat that and a paid off mortgage!

    Back in the day, when I purchased my first home to live-in; that was Miami in the early 1990s, first mortgages with rates of 8 to 9% and 9% to 10% were typical. People will have to accept the possibility that we won't ever return to 3%. If sellers must sell, home prices will have to decline, and lower evaluations will follow. Pretty sure I'm not alone in my chain of thoughts.

      If anything, it'll get worse. Very soon, affordable housing will no longer be affordable. So anything anyone want to do, I will advise they do it now because the prices today will look like dips tomorrow. Until the Fed clamps down even further, I think we're going to see hysteria due to rampant inflation. You can't halfway rip the band-aid off.

      Home prices will come down eventually, but for now; get your money (as much as you can) out of the housing market and get into the financial markets or gold. The new mortgage rates are crazy, add to that the recession and the fact that mortgage guidelines are getting more difficult. Home prices will need to fall by a minimum of 40% (more like 50%) before the market normalizes.If you are in cross roads or need sincere advise on the best moves to take now its best you seek an independent advisor who knows about the financial markets.

    My payment was $2415 month. We would pay an extra $500 a month towards the principal. We currently just refinanced to get a lower interest rate and to get off of PMI. Our new monthly payment is $2915 a month. We plan on still paying $3700 a month but are now going to do bi-monthly payments.

      Instead of extra payments, I suspect you would be better off putting the $782 per month into shares of Apple and Amazon. The video more or less describes how you can get out of being a debt slave When you have cash you have options. Smart people hold on to cash. They don't instantly shove it toward debt. Once it is used to pay on the debt, it is no longer accessible.

I think there should be a balance between the amount of debt you incur and the amount of cash you can invest. I would rather have a $1000 house payment and $1000 going into stocks than a $2000 house payment and no stocks. If you have cash and you’re confused I will suggest you contact a finance advisor

    50 now, and everything is paid for. Fortunately, I had a college economics teacher who taught me a lesson when I was 18 years old. That lesson was: you can't buy something else for every purchase you make. Having multiple sources of income is prudent, as is living within your means. I have a 13-year-old vehicle because it is all I need, I like it, and I can do whatever I want with it.

    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?

    For newbies, be aware that this is a grossly oversimplified scenario. For one thing, you can't get a mortgage on an investment property without at least 25% down payment. Two, it's easy to see comps for house purchase prices, but it takes a lot of research to understand the comps on rent prices. The trick is to find a place where renting is more expensive than buying, but those places are less common because of this very type of scenario. Three, you have to remember that rent number he's using is supposed to be net income, not gross. So you have to think about costs for taxes, insurance, maintenance and vacancy when you're researching investments. All that said, real estate investing is a good tool for wealth accumulation. But it isn't foolproof.

    Picking between paying my mortgage early or investing was nerve-wracking at first but being an avid reader, I came across a report by Northwestern Mutual on the same topic and found that if I choose to put a lump sum into solid investments, I am more likely to have a higher balance over time. Being a novice at the time, I saw that as a queue to get into the market. That was quite the turning point in my finance.

    It took 14 years, 4 months to pay off our 25 year mortgage. But we had a drop of 400 a month in income right after buying our home. So it took a bit more time. That was a lot in the early 90s.
    We paid weekly, which helped. An extra months payment every year. But when the income did increase, I put half of what was left after tax onto the mortgage. I though about it like increasing rent.
    The last two years we had a good increase in income, and a decrease in expenses and I upped our payments by an additional 80 per week. That was about 180 more per week than what we were suppose to pay.

    4 years into my 1st mortgage I took a challenge and paid it off in 7 yrs 3months and 14 days. Any "extra" money I had I put on the principal. I restructured once to reduce the payment, but it increased the interest to principal ratio back up again to 60:40. We lived off one check and used my check to pay on the principal until it was gone. Last payment was on Oct13th...wife's B-Day was on Oct 14th. Nice present. My total payments were far less than the value of the house today. Lastly...stay away from Bi-Weekly scammers out there.

    If possible just make extra payments towards the principal whatever the amount is. And if you are fortunate enough to get refunds use 35% to 40% of your tax refunds on the principal again. If you are allowed to work some overtime, again use 70% of that towards the principal and 15% on a roth ira, the remaining 15% on yourself/family/vacation(s). Have a house that is paid off is the best thing and the best feeling in the world. No longer stressing out every month for having a mortgage; use the saved money for investing. Best of luck.

    This is by far the best video i've seen that is not a clickbait. You want to pay off early? PAY MORE... the bi weekly actually makes sense given that people get paid biweekly in the US and its a sure way of saving and being on time plus an extra payment a year in a proper budgeted way.

  • @gentlepersuader
    @gentlepersuader 2 роки тому +9

    This is a very clear explanation. Well done.
    Here in Australia we can have what's called an offset account for mortgage payments. In essence the mortgage payment is taken from the offset account each month. My weekly wages are paid to a different bank altogether, but I take a good chunk of that money each week and direct debit it to the offset account automatically. This means there is always a buffer of money in the offset for the mortgage payment each month and because I pay more than the requirement payment, the interest calculation is less so more comes off the principle. The combination of paying more into the offset and increasing the frequency to weekly reduced my 30 year mortgage down to 9 years which I completed a few years ago.
    The offset is handy because you can draw money out of it in an emergency too.
    Rich is exactly correct in his advice here and I have proven it to work. The biggest piece of advice I can give is YOU MUST BE DISCIPLINED IN YOUR GOALS AND NOT DEVIATE. I made sure I had no other debt (credit cards, car loans, hire purchases etc.) so every spare cent went to mortgage payments instead.

    Summary of Video - Alternatives to "Velocity Banking":
    1. Pay more money towards PRINCIPAL of mortgage 10:19
    2. Make bi-weekly mortgage payments = 1 extra month per year of payments 10:43
    3. Pretend to have a 15 yr mortgage and make payments accordingly. In months you do not have enough, pay as little as your actually mortgage payment 11:10
    4. Refinance to a lower interest rate...factor in cost to do so vs savings, short vs long term 11:34
    5. Use your saved up emergency cash to pay your mortgage but keep your HELOC as your emergency funds instead 12:20
    My bottom line summary of the above is, except for #3, use extra cash to pay down principal on mortgage.

    • @hipmoma

      should you set up a HELOC before you start paying extra money into the principal? or is that even possible?

    • @musicmayer2043
      @musicmayer2043 2 роки тому +1

      ​@@hipmoma A HELOC can be created at any time but it is easiest to do so when first getting a mortgage or at renewal. The reason is because an appraised value of the property is needed, as it determines the max amount of the HELOC.
      Also, the increasing value of the property does not factor into the max amount of the HELOC until a new appraisal is performed.
      Also, any time the structure of a mortgage is changed, you have to re-qualify for that mortgage structure. If life circumstances have change, this may affect your qualification.

    I paid bi-weekly vs monthly but the best thing we did was put the maximum once-per-year lump sum payment on our mortgage. For us, that was $30,000/year. At first, it felt like it was doing nothing but after 4 years it’s gone down bigtime. My home will be paid off next year and I’ll be 49. We’ll be mortgage free but meanwhile my friends and family are paying their mortgage plus an additional $1,200/month due to interest rate hikes here in Canada. We took advantage of the low rates while we could.

      If you take the time to do the math on the velocity banking it pays down the debt much faster with your funds being liquid. The interest in the short and long term is much less. You only leverage what you can pay down in six months or less so if the banks yank the personal line my choice or the HELOC you can handle it. I can dip into savings and pay it off any time I like. Chunks of the banks' money to pay off your mortgage early not your money with much less interest. You use your pay each month to keep interested at bay and save thousands on the mortgage interest. Take a closer look at velocity banking you all are missing simple pieces of the puzzle. Think about how much you could invest every month if you did not have a mortgage in 6 0r 7 years! Velocity and I will see you on the Mountain!!

    I liked your presentation and appreciated your attempt to be fair to other financial ideas. The reality is that some amount of discipline is needed to payoff your mortgage quicker. While the numbers are important , to some persons owning your home outright is an overriding goal. How you get to that goal can vary based on the amount of discipline you are willing to put in. As a tax professional, I have actually advised clients to use their refund in that way to chunk down the mortgage. Another consideration is your marital status. You have to be on the same page as your spouse. Which techniques you use matter less than the cooperation between the spouses.

    Get an amortization calculator and put in the normal 30 years. Then, the homeowner can look at next month's principal and make that payment toward principal, as well.

The greatest investment you can ever make is in your own education about the things that actually effect your life like Money, Investing, etc.

      I have said this exact thing before. My favorite is when those same people tell me they pay someone to do their taxes aka a 1040ez form. So you can tell me every player and all their stats for the 1973 New York Giants but you just payed someone to do a 1040ez tax form? WTF!

    I took out a 30 yr mortgage at age 30. After a few years, i started making additional principal payments and was able to pay it off in 18 years. At age 48, the mortgage was paid off and was able to really max out my retirement savings for 10 years. I just retired at age 58.

    • @pauljoseph2400
      @pauljoseph2400 3 роки тому +1

      @@Angelinuh2015I would just add like an extra $500 per month to the mortgage payment check. I would actually mail the check in each month. They should automatically apply the additional amount to the principal. Check with your lender. There are benefits to taking out a longer loan, then pay it off early with additional principal payments. That way, if you would hit a rough patch financially, you can revert to the original lower payment for a while.

    Always take a 15 year fixed rate mortgage and pay it off in 7-10 years. Way smarter and paying more principle than interest up front from Day 1.

    Very good, down to earth advice. Did something like that once I found myself in a position to throw extra money towards my loans. First eliminating my student debt (which isn't a crippling kind of thing in my country, thankfully, but was still nice to eliminate all the same) and then directed my attention to my morgage. I figured it was safer to not permanently up my morgage payments (even though that was essentially what I was doing each month in practice with the extra payments), as it kept me flexible should I need to temporary direct funds elsewhere for whatever reason. Will be done by mid-May and I'm so excited :)

    To us little guys that get easily duped into scams, I want to thank you for sharing your wisdom. In the past I kept on hearing folks speak so negatively about HELOCs, and advising us to go on rice and beans. But thanks to you it sounds like if you have some pretty good personal finance acumen, you could use the HELOC as an emergency fund. Sounds really-really cool. I won't be doing it, but I no longer look down on it. Thanks for sharing some honest techniques to getting it done. Sorry for folks littering your page with other SCAM garbage!
