...and Why You Should Too!
And down the rabbit hole I went.
I'm getting ahead of myself... let me back up a second and answer the question...
"Why Would Anyone In Their Right Mind Take A Higher Rate On Their Mortgage?"
The answer is actually quite simple...
It's because with this program...
and you can do it without making extra payments, bi-weekly payments, pinching pennies or even changing your lifestyle & spending habits
You've heard of "Compound Interest", right? Do you remember what Einstein said about it?
It's a pretty powerful quote and spot on.
You see, traditional conventional, FHA & VA 30 year fixed rate mortgages are built on compound interest and not in your favor.
They're reverse engineered to work best for the banks while selling you on a "low rate" and "low payments".
The problem with that is that they front load most of the interest because they know most people will never get ahead of it. That's why for the first handful of years, more of your payment goes to interest than principal.
Don't believe me? Take a look at this amortization chart.
Even Though You've Already Paid Over 30%!
"Sure, but there's nothing we can do about it."
Will You Be One Of Them? Can You Be?
Will You Be One Of The 37%?
Can You Be?
The concept was fascinating but the idea of paying $5,000 for software and being left to my own devices didn't sit well with me.
Not to mention those were crazy times in the housing and mortgage industry and within a couple years the housing crash led to loan programs drying up and options coming off the table.
If I have 20 years in this industry and find implementing this too difficult, how will the average family, with no mortgage or financial background, ever be successful with it?
Reluctantly, I got on that Zoom call.
And that's when everything changed!
I sat in on the Zoom meeting, listened, took notes and asked tough questions (I wasn't falling for another crappy program full of holes like in the past).
Then I went from Zoom call to regular call, to YouTube, to calls to the company, meetings with their execs, customer-facing trainings, Zoom calls with their trainers and finally, FINALLY... certification!
I was beyond hooked.
Remember earlier with I brought Einstein's quote on compound interest?
Here's why...
And that's exactly what this program does and more!
The Home Equity Recapture Of Interest Contract (HEROIC) Loan
is your opportunity to truly own your home free & clear.
Thousands of homeowners just like you have taken advantage of this program and you can too! Just like them, you can be FREE & CLEAR once and for all and you can do it...
Be HEROIC for your family and find out what it can do for you.
In case you're not familiar, the HELOC strategy to pay off your mortgage is commonly used in Australia & Canada in place of the traditional mortgage we've all come to know and love. 🙄
But it's not enough to just get a home equity line of credit. What kind of line of credit? From what bank? And what do you do with it once you have it?
"Ok, sure. That makes sense but I can probably read about it online, watch a YouTube video or two and then stroll over to my bank for one of these HELOC's, can't I?"
The short answer... maybe.
A lot of major lenders stopped offering them and if they do, they'll only write them as a 2nd loan behind your current traditional 1st mortgage and all it's front loaded interest.
Better than nothing, but not exactly ideal.
But let's pretend you're ok with "less than ideal"...
You get your HELOC, hope they don't have a bunch of silly behind the scenes policies to sabotage you and you figure out the right timing to move money, transferring funds from your checking to the HELOC to the mortgage, and... it makes my head hurt just thinking about it.
This is where "coaches" fail the ones they "coach". They send you out to get "whatever" and then don't stay on top of you to make sure you're doing it right like a real coach would.
If that's what you signed up for, that's what you should get it... (and don't get me wrong, I'm no coach either. But I'm not trying to talk you into hiring me as your coach!)
Even if you have it all figured out, or just think you do, life has a funny way of happening.
Imagine you need to move money from the HELOC to pay the mortgage on the 1st of the month and then move money from the checking to the HELOC to not incur interest charges there. Sounds simple enough.
Now imagine the 1st of the month falls on the Saturday of holiday weekend and you're going out of town on Thursday and any bank transfers won't process until Tuesday at best. Now what do you do? Did everything just get screwed up?
Now imagine that you'll be away for a week and you're having a blast with family or friends before you realize you didn't move the money on time (or at all).
Or what-if something expensive pops up that you need to jump on (good or bad)... how does that fit in the mix? What do you do then?
All of these issues (and more) are solved with the HEROIC loan.
If you can set up direct deposit, use a debit card and not go crazy with your spending habits, virtually everything else is taken care of for you.
Let's compare...
That's perfect reasonable. When something is such a shift to the normal way of doing things, it always raises skepticism and fear.
I don't blame you for that. I wouldn't want to put my family at risk chasing some crazy idea. Take a look at the frequently asked questions below. Hopefully they put your mind at ease.

Notice how even with that ultra low traditional mortgage AND an ultra high HEROIC loan rate, the HEROIC loan still edges out the extra payment of $500 per month. Not to mention the cash flow of the extra payments option goes down because that money is stuck in equity and you can't reuse it for anything! (By the way...
