Here's the point: due to the nature of home loans, extra payments made towards the loan's principle balance will have an exponentially large effect on decreasing interest charges over the life of the loan, as well as the total time required to pay it off. The problem is, most of us don't have an extra $5,000 to plop down into our first mortgage. And that's where the Money Merge Account comes in.
In a nutshell, the program leverages the banks money (the HELOC) to cancel massive amounts of interest in your first mortgage. In order to do this, the software prompts the user to transfer precise amounts of money at discrete time intervals from the HELOC to the first mortgage. Think of it like using your credit card to make a payment on your mortgage. In other words, you now have a balance on your credit card (or in this case, your HELOC). This balance is quickly paid off, however, by using your HELOC as your primary checking/savings account: whenever you receive a paycheck or any other type of income, deposit it into the HELOC account (for more detail on this, check out our Home Equity Secrets section). In this way the HELOC balance is paid down to it's initial balance, at which point the cycle repeats itself. Over time, this process rapidly reduces the balance on your first mortgage, saving you tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in interest and shaving years and years off the time required to repay the loan.
