1. What is EquityExcel and how can it take so much time and money off my mortgage? |
It’s no secret that mortgages are set up so that your payments, in the early years,
go mostly towards paying interest rather than the principal amount of the loan.
You typically end up paying substantially more in interest than the loan itself.
For instance, a standard $200,000 mortgage loan for 30 years at 6.5 percent interest
would amount to an additional $255,000 in interest payments most of which is paid
early on. It takes approximately 20 years to pay off 50 percent of the principal!
|
EquityExcel uses a combination of established methods:
-
Apply more of your monthly mortgage repayment toward principal than interest.
- Create a tax efficient checking account that saves you interest.
|
As a result, you can end up easily slicing 15 or more years off your mortgage and
saving tens of thousands of dollars – or more – in interest payments, without increasing
monthly mortgage payments or paying more toward your mortgage
|
2. If I am not increasing the monthly payments on my mortgage, how does EquityExcel
work? |
The EquityExcel system connects your bank account, a home equity line of credit
(HELOC), and your mortgage. All transfers of income and additional funds into your
HELOC account generate a decrease in your line of credit balance, which in turn
lowers the interest you will pay to the bank. This additional interest savings is
then used to pay down your line of credit and, ultimately, your mortgage.
|
By transferring mortgage principal to your line of credit, your monthly mortgage
payments are being applied more toward principal. This combination of the factors
enables you to pay down your mortgage faster.
|
3. Is it necessary to apply for a line of credit, and how does it affect my savings
and checking accounts? |
EquityExcel uses the home equity line of credit as a tax savings and interest-earning
vehicle to drive the system. The HELOC operates similarly to a checking account
but provides a few special features such as interest leveraging and tax deductibility.
|
4. Do I need to change banks or make any modifications to my current mortgage? |
No. Your current mortgage remains at the same bank without your having to make any
changes. Your funds must be diverted from your checking account to your HELOC account,
however. You may opt to open your HELOC at a new bank.
|
5. Does someone else control my mortgage or my accounts?
|
No. You have total control at all times during this process. At no point in time
will we ever take over your mortgage, bank account information, or have any access
to your accounts.
|
6. How is this any different from a biweekly program? |
With a biweekly mortgage, instead of paying your mortgage ONCE per month, you make
the payment every two weeks. The strategy is that over the course of 12 months you
will end up making an additional payment, the 13th, as compared to 12 payments if
you paid the mortgage on a monthly basis.
|
With EquityExcel you generate additional savings, and use your entire monthly surplus
cash in your HELOC account, which in turn allows you to place "lump-sum" payments
against your principal balance according to a predetermined payment period. This
all happens while giving you the security of having access to any emergency funds
if they are needed.
|
Without making that yearly extra principal payment, you still can pay off your mortgage
earlier and save thousands in interest. With the extra payment, you can accelerate
the savings and you will end up in a better financial position than you would with
the biweekly program.
|
7. Does this program works for individuals who have ARM's or interest-only mortgages? |
Yes. This works for any type of mortgages, including ARM’s, interest only, and others.
We have tailored our programs uniquely to assist individuals with all the available
mortgage products offered in the United States. As long as you want to pay less
interest and pay your off mortgage early, this program will work for you.
|
8. We are planning to move in the future. Will this program still work? |
Yes. By using the system, you will build equity in your home faster than with your
current mortgage program. When you move, your plan is transferable to meet your
new situation at no extra cost.
|
All the equity built in the account, as well as the equity built with market appreciation,
will make a great down payment on your next purchase.
|
9. What’s the catch? Why haven’t I heard of this approach before? |
Mortgage companies obviously profit from long periods of interest payments. They
set terms to benefit their business in exchange for the value of lending you money
over two or three decades. So, even though mortgage companies might be capable of
applying the same financial principles, they are not going to promote a service
that will reduce their profits.
|
EquityExcel is not a mortgage company. Think of us as an independent, personal financial
coach who provides you with the tools and service to take care of your mortgage
burden. You are in complete control of your finances throughout the process.
|
Most people have not figured out how to take some of the technical products and
combine them into a practical method to save money. We have, and we are excited
to show you how to keep thousands of your own money.
|
10. Is there a downside? Will I lose tax advantages by paying off my mortgage early? |
From a cash-flow perspective, which would you prefer: tax deductions or no monthly
mortgage payments? Most tax and financial consultants agree that the monetary gains
from paying off your mortgage early outweigh the tax advantages in carrying your
mortgage to term. We help you to pay off your mortgage earlier not by diverting
funds from your investments but from using your money more effectively!
|
EquityExcel clients are entitled to the same tax benefits as individuals who pay
their mortgages off in 15 or 30 years. As a mortgage term matures so the tax advantage
declines by that point an EquityExcel client already can own their home.
|
|
11. Who’s eligible? |
You must have a credit score of at least 660, some equity in your home, and a track
record of spending no more than you earn.
|
You must qualify to receive a home equity line of credit from your bank to be eligible.
|
12. What if I am self-employed? |
We all agree that even though your income is variable every month, your bills are
fixed and must be paid. We require that you deposit enough money in the HELOC account
to cover your monthly bills. When you are in a position to deposit extra, you will
be able to accelerate your interest savings.
|
All you are doing is that instead of banking in a checking account, you are banking
directly from the HELOC. It does not matter if your earning fluctuates or if it
is commission based, as long as you transfer sufficient funds to cover your bills,
you still will be able to pay off your mortgage early.
|
13. What if I am a first-time buyer? |
EquityExcel is designed to meet your financial requirements as you go through life.
It can help fund a wedding, a new car, and a holiday, as well as allow you the flexibility
to deal with the financial impact of having a child.

Additional definitions:
mortgage: is the pledging of a property
to a lender as a security for a mortgage loan. While a mortgage in itself is not
a debt, it is evidence of a debt. It is a transfer of an interest in land, from
the owner to the mortgage lender, on the condition that this interest will be returned
to the owner of the real estate when the terms of the mortgage have been satisfied
or performed. In other words, the mortgage is a security for the loan that the lender
makes to the borrower.
The term comes from the Old French "dead pledge," apparently meaning that the pledge
ends (dies) either when the obligation is fulfilled or the property is taken through
foreclosure
Property tax, or millage tax, is an 'ad valorem' tax that an owner pays on the value
of the property being taxed.
There are three species or types of property: Land, Improvements to Land (immovable
manmade objects; i.e., buildings), and Personalty (movable manmade objects). Real
estate, real property or realty are all terms for the combination of land and improvements.
The taxing authority requires and/or performs an appraisal of the monetary value
of the property, and tax is assessed in proportion to that value. Forms of property
tax used vary between countries and jurisdictions.
The special assessment tax may often be confused with the property tax. These are
two distinct forms of taxation: one (ad valorem tax) relies upon the fair market
value of the property being taxed for justification, and the other (special assessment)
relies upon a special enhancement called a "benefit" for its justification.
mortgage tax: tax on new mortgage:,
often paid by the borrower
mort•gage tax noun (plural mort•gage taxes)
mortgage interest deduction: A federal
tax deduction granted for interest paid on a mortgage used to buy, build, or renovate
a residence. The deduction is intended to encourage renters to become homeowners,
under the belief that home ownership encourages upstanding citizenship and reduces
crime.
Housing interest: Interest on up to
$1 million of acquisition debt (used to purchase or improve a home) plus $100,000
of home equity debt is tax deductible. This may be claimed for a principal residence
plus one vacation home.
Refinancing: Paying off an existing
loan with the proceeds from a new loan, usually of the same size, and using the
same property as collateral. In order to decide whether this is worthwhile, the
savings in interest must be weighed against the fees associated with refinancing.
The difficult part of this calculation is predicting how much the up-front money
would be worth when the savings are received. Other reasons to refinance include
reducing the term of a longer mortgage, or switching between a fixed-rate and an
adjustable-rate mortgage. If there are prepayment fees attached to the existing
mortgage, refinancing becomes less favorable because of the increased cost to the
borrower at the time of the refinancing.
In other words Refinancing is the refunding or restructuring of debt with new debt,
equity, or a combination of both. The refinancing of debt is most often undertaken
during a period of declining interest rates in order to lower the average cost of
a firm's debt. Sometimes refinancing involves the issuance of equity in order to
decrease the proportion of debt in the borrower's capital structure. As a result
of refinancing, the maturity of the debt may be extended or reduced, or the new
debt may carry a lower interest rate, or some combination of these options.
Refinancing may be done by any issuer of debt, such as corporations and governmental
bodies, as well as holders of real estate, including homeowners. When a borrower
retires a debt issue, the payment is made in cash and no new security takes the
place of the one being paid off. The term "refunding" is used when a borrower issues
new debt to refinance an existing one.
