Some Background
The mortgage business for years now has been
focused on the "front-end" and have done a masterful job of creating loan
products that make home loans more affordable. But many baby-boomers are now
waking up to the challenge of paying off their homes before retirements. These
homeowners are starting to realize that its time to STOP cashing out their
equity and start cashing it back in to avoid having hefty mortgage payments that
will prevent retirement or limit their retirement lifestyle.
This loan focuses on people who would rather pay down their debt, rather than expand or simply consolidate it.
How effective is it?
If you're an average borrower with good cash flow, you could pay
off an average sized loan in as little as half the time – with no changes to
spending habits.
Let's look at an example:
Imagine you have net pay of $100,000 annually, saving 15% of your net income
after expenses, and you have a $400,000 30-year fixed-rate mortgage at 5.5%.
And, let's even assume that mortgage interest rates are climbing on a "reverse
course" that mirrors their recent decline (APR 8.19%)! A 'worst case' rate
scenario!"
Saves interest, pays off sooner.
In this example, refinancing to the Home Ownership Accelerator roughly doubles
your mortgage efficiency. You could pay off in as little as 17.3 years and save
nearly $89,000 (21%) in interest, compared to the 30-year fixed rate loan at
5.5%. In fact, to save that much interest, you'd have to find a 30-year mortgage
at 4.4%, which is very unlikely.
But what if rates go up even more?
In this example, the adjustable rate on the Home Ownership Accelerator would
have to average 9.6% over the entire 17.3 years for the interest payments to
equal that of the 30-year fixed rate mortgage at 5.5%. That's not likely to
happen either.
Seeing is believing. Try it for yourself.
