The Australian Mortgage concept requires a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC).

This no-brainer HELOC is automatic. No shopping or comparing required to find an appropriate loan.

This IS an actual loan.

What happens to your current mortgage? With a Money Merge Account, your first mortgage stays intact. Because of this, the performance isn't as good as it should be, as only "some" of your money is working for you. Or they have you refinance your existing first into a high rate Home Equity Loan. While this is OK, it becomes a big problem when you get tired of trying to micro manage all your accounts and give up

United First Financial is NOT a Mortgage Lender, so they cannot help you with your first mortgage even if it would be advantageous to refinance it with a lower interest rate.
With CMG, your current mortgage(s) are replaced with a first-position Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC).
What are the risks? A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is required to apply the Australian Mortgage concept in the United States. While it gives you the power to pay off your home faster, it also gives you access to more money.

When you become overwhelmed trying to manage it and give up, you are left with the vast majority of your home on a high rate HELOC.

This is just expensive software.
