Different ways to calculate how much you pay in Interest
VS
Simple Interest Vs Compound Interest. Which one pays off a house the fastest
To illustrate the difference between compound interest in the context of an investment (such as in the case of a savings account or an investment in the stock market) and The context of a loan (such as a mortgage)
"The purpose of this calculator is to help you determine where you can save more on interest and reduce the initial capital required to accelerate the payment of your mortgage, according to your current situation. Historically, taking out a HELOC on the accumulated equity in your property has been considered the best way to pay off your mortgage faster and save on interest, often referred to as 'Velocity Banking'. However, although a HELOC can be effective in achieving these goals, it is not always the best option. Sometimes, simply making additional payments to the principal of your mortgage can result in significant savings without the need to explore more complex strategies that could have adverse effects.
This calculator is designed to allow you, by entering the details of your current mortgage and the information provided by your bank about the HELOC you could acquire, to compare and decide which is the best option for you: obtaining a HELOC or making direct payments to the principal of the house."

With the tools mentioned earlier, you could verify that if you request a HELOC from the bank with the balance you owe on the property and put it towards the principal of the mortgage, you would end up paying more in interest on the HELOC, in addition to closing costs and fees that you would have to pay to acquire the HELOC. This could demonstrate that although obtaining a HELOC can reduce property interests, if the wrong amount is used to pay off the mortgage principal, you could end up paying more money in interest and fees than what you would have to pay with your current mortgage. On the other hand, if you use a very small HELOC balance, you might fail to save on interest when applying the velocity banking strategy.
That's why we've created this section where you'll be able to indicate the closest possible amount of the HELOC that you could use to maximize the amount of interest savings on the loan you currently have, saving you thousands of dollars on your current mortgage.
For a better understanding of how to use this form to save as much as possible on your current mortgage, call us at (702) 297-6053
Once you're seated with the bank to request the HELOC, a question that you or the banker will ask is, "For what amount do you wish to obtain a HELOC?"
To give an answer as to how much HELOC is, two things need to be taken into account:
If you could get a HELOC with the same amount you owe the house, the ideal amount you would you You will use to put the principal of the mortgage would be: this It would generate savings of:

How Velocity Banking Can Transform Your Mortgage: A Beginner's Guide
Introduction
In the realm of personal finance, the term "Velocity Banking" has emerged as an innovative strategy for homeowners looking to pay off their mortgages faster and save significantly on interest. By utilizing a HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit), individuals can leverage their home equity to reduce their mortgage's principal balance, dramatically altering the loan's duration and the total interest paid. But how exactly does it work, and where do you begin? This guide breaks down the basics of Velocity Banking to help you understand its potential and how it can be applied to your financial situation.What Is Velocity Banking?
Velocity Banking is a financial strategy involving using a HELOC to pay down a mortgage's principal balance faster than the standard amortization schedule allows. This can reduce the total amount of interest paid over the life of the mortgage. The key to success with Velocity Banking lies in effective cash flow management: using the available funds from a HELOC to make additional principal payments while managing daily expenses and strategically repaying the HELOC balance.Benefits of Using a HELOC for Your Mortgage
Reduced Payment Time: By decreasing the principal balance more rapidly, you shorten the duration of your mortgage, moving closer to financial freedom.Success Stories and Testimonials
Many homeowners have transformed their finances using Velocity Banking. For example, Juan and Maria managed to pay off their 30-year mortgage in just 22 years, saving over $30,000 in interest by consistently and diligently applying this strategy.Conclusion
Velocity Banking is a powerful tool for those looking to reduce their mortgage debt more quickly and save on interest. However, as with any financial strategy, it's essential to do your research, fully understand the risks and benefits, and consider if it's the right choice for your unique situation. With careful planning and financial discipline, Velocity Banking can be a path to greater financial freedom.Key Questions to Ask Your Bank to Choose the Best HELOC for Paying Off Your Home Faster Introduction
When it comes to using a HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit) to accelerate your mortgage payments, choosing the right offer is crucial. A well-chosen HELOC can provide you with the financial flexibility and terms needed to maximize your payment strategy and achieve your financial goals sooner than anticipated. Before committing, ensure you ask the following essential questions to your bank or financial institution.1. What Is the Interest Rate and Is It Fixed or Variable?
The interest rate will determine how much you will pay over time for the money you use. Fixed rates offer predictability, while variable rates may offer lower initial rates but with the risk of increasing over time. Understanding this aspect will help you calculate potential costs and decide which aligns best with your financial situation and goals.2. Is There a Draw Period, and How Does It Work?
The draw period is the phase during which you can access the HELOC funds. It’s vital to understand how long this period lasts, how you can access the funds (e.g., through special checks or online transfers), and what options you have once the draw period concludes.3. What Are the Associated Fees and Charges?
HELOCs can come with a variety of charges, including closing costs, annual fees, and transaction fees. Asking about all associated fees will help you avoid surprises and calculate the total cost of the HELOC. Don't forget to inquire about potential penalties for early repayment or charges for inactivity.4. How Are HELOC Payments Calculated During and After the Draw Period?
It’s important to understand how your payments will be calculated, both during the draw period (when you might have the option to pay interest only) and afterwards (when you might start paying both principal and interest). This will aid in planning your cash flow and payment strategies.5. What Is the Maximum Credit Limit and How Is It Determined?
The credit limit of a HELOC is based on the value of your home and the amount of equity you have in it. Knowing how your bank determines this limit will help you understand how much money you will be able to access for paying off your mortgage.6. Is There a Minimum Draw Requirement or a Minimum Balance That I Must Maintain?
Some HELOCs require that you withdraw a minimum amount each time you access your funds or that you maintain a minimum balance. These requirements can affect how and when you decide to use the available credit.7. How Will the HELOC Affect My Credit Score?
Opening a HELOC can influence your credit score in several ways. It’s important to ask how the initial inquiry and the ongoing use of the HELOC might impact your credit, especially if you plan to apply for other types of credit in the future.Conclusion
Selecting the right HELOC is a crucial step in maximizing this financial tool and speeding up your mortgage payments. Asking these questions will not only help you find the product that best suits your needs but also provide you with a clear understanding of the terms and conditions, ensuring your decision positively contributes to your financial health and long-term goals. Before signing, take your time to evaluate the answers, compare different offers, and consider how each HELOC aligns with your overall mortgage payment strategy. The right choice can save you thousands of dollars in interest and bring you much closer to full home ownership much faster than you might think.DISCLAIMER
