BENEFITS
Any mortgage that can save you close to the
purchase price of your home in mortgage interest, while
cutting your term from 30 years to 20, and allowing you
to pay down your principal 3 times faster is bound to
be popular.
But why refinance?
Unfortunately, for most homeowners, they will
spend thousands of dollars to refinance needlessly.
why would any homeowner spend $3,000 to $5,000 to
refinance a home with a new biweekly mortgage or a 15
to 20 year mortgage? That's easy. It's because they
don't know they can use a system like the equity
acceleration program to accomplish virtually the same
result...for a fraction of the cost banks charge to
refinance to accelerate the payoff of any home.
The equity acceleration program is better
By using the program they won't have to refinance
and go through the new loan qualification problems;
they will save thousands of dollars in refinance costs;
if they miss a few payments, they will not be dropped
from the program as is the case with bank biweekly
mortgages; if they lose their job and need to drop out
of the program temporarily, they can easily get back
in, at no charge. And this can be done with an FHA,
VA, conventional, fixed, ARM, or any other mortgage,
almost without exception.
No refinancing
So, by signing up with an equity acceleration
program, they can gain essentially all the advantages
of the biweekly mortgage, or short term mortgage,
without refinancing.
Call any bank
Even to this day, you can call almost any bank and
tell them you have a 30 year loan and want to pay off
your home in 20 years. Instead of encouraging you to
prepay your loan, they'll try to sell you on
refinancing your home to a 20 year loan! And all so
they can make a few thousand dollars in origination
fees as profit!
It's their business to try to refinance homeowners
because that's how they make money. Each time they
refinance a loan or originate a new one, they add
several "points" to the loan for "processing costs" and
that adds an average of $4,000 to a real estate
mortgage which must be repaid...with interest added on!
Banks want to make money
Banks won't encourage anyone to prepay a loan
because it adds to their servicing costs and the way
they look at it, why not sell a refinance package
instead? That's great for the banks but terrible if
you're a homeowner wanting to save money.
