    Sir. If those loans are paid one by one each paid off loan creates cash flow. So the payment to the next loan will be higher, next one will be higher. I am not sure you look at the problem that way. If vb doesn’t work, how come I am paying a 5 year car loan in 18 months with only 500 dollars of cash flow on average per month.

    in my opinion, housing market crash is imminent due to the high number of individuals who purchased homes above the asking price despite the low interest rates. These buyers find themselves in precarious situations as housing prices decline, leaving them without any equity. If they become unable to afford their homes, foreclosure becomes a likely outcome. Even attempting to sell would not yield any profits. This scenario is expected to impact a significant number of people, particularly in light of the anticipated surge in layoffs and the rapid increase in the cost of living

    Cashback and ease of use make the income through credit card method worth for me. I do get your point about putting the extra cash as an additional payment in the mortgage, but the point is that people don't usually do that. We need to take into account our psychology. The advantage of seeing things paid off, cash flow being greater, and having a simple strategy (I.e all your money goes here and expenses comes out of it) really do make a difference. You're struggling to show the minute financial disadvantages of a method not considering the huge psychological advantages. Plus, you did not followed up the method. You should do the HELOC scenario all the way through.

  • @johnlillyblad5188
    @johnlillyblad5188 Před 11 dny

    Just to play devils advocate, this isn’t what the “gurus” say to do. They have you pay the mortgage down in chunks. So the most interest you would ever be paying would be the maximum interest on each “chunk”. They like to say that paying down these chunks advances you down the amortization schedule. Well, so does just making an extra principal payment. And you don’t have to pay interest on that. I think the biggest “trick” they have is that they say that mortgages are amortized and HELOCs are simple interest. They also imply that the first half of the loan is mostly interest so that the bank gets paid first, ignoring that you start with zero equity and build it over time. The only real benefit I can see is that you have a line of credit with which to pay for emergencies and whatnot. But you could just have a HELOC without doing VB and only use it if your additional principal payments get a little too overzealous. The biggest drawback to ALL of these methods is that paying down a mortgage that’s almost certainly underperforming the stock market is safe but not growing your money long term. Every dollar plunked into your 2.5% mortgage is a dollar that isn’t growing at easily 5% plus safely with mutual funds.

    @Boostleaked Před 12 dny

    The amortization schedule shows exactly how much interest is in every single monthly payment you have to make for the entire life of your mortgage loan whether it is a 15 or 30 years. The banks do not hide the interest numbers. The borrower simply decides not to look at the amortization schedule and see down to the cent how much interest is in their first home mortgage payment down to their very last mortgage payment.

    I think how velocity banking works is amazing. I think it reaps larger benefits when you are able to pay down larger balances more quickly by increasing your cash flow. Paying off a 30k car in 24 months is way better than 60 or 72. It also frees up cash if needed for those living pay check to pay check.

    Very instructive, insightful, and professional! Thank you. I have been thinking about a dilemma I wasn’t able to solve so far: do monthly prepayments reduce the interest amount you ll be paying over a term of a mortgage ( say 5 years? Theoretically, the lower the owed balance, the lower the interest component in monthly payments thus the higher the principal component becomes (not considering the additional amount due to prepayments). However, lenders say to me that the amortization (breakdown of monthly payments between principal vs. Interest ) is fixed at the time of writing off and doesn’t change despite prepayments have been made. i.e.the lender is getting the whole amount of interest at the end of the 5 year term regardless of whether prepayments were done or not. I’d appreciate any enlightenment with this respect ! Thanks Said

    You did this completely wrong. You need to watch some of Vanntastic Finance videos. You Use the PLOC to pay a large chunk off which moves you up the amortization schedule. As you pay back the PLOC your also still paying the loan but since your higher up the amortization schedule less is going to interest and more towards Principal.

Also, I'm a software engineer and a data engineer. I've worked in banking and finance for decades. VB works and the power is paying down your mortgage at the tail end of the mortgage. Shortening the term of the mortgage AND saving yourself tens of thousands in interest payments. You don't see the results in the short term, you do see them in the long term.

    Most CZcamsrs forget about the amortization table! Drives me insane. You can’t honestly talk about paying off your loan earlier and the benefits without factoring in the interest heavy payments at the beginning of the mortgage. You aren’t building equity until you get deeper into the mortgage. To me this is the #1 reason to pay off a mortgage early vs investment etc argument. The actual interest paid in the beginning of the mortgage is MUCH higher than average investment returns. While you’re not chopping off the first months of the amortization schedule you are cutting it off the back end
