Money Merge Account: Get more benefit
I just ran an analysis for two teachers in Huntington Beach California, and there results were amazing. They currently owe about $390,000 on there home, and have about $80,000 in other debts. They had some discretionary income, but not a lot. After reviewing there mortgage, refinancing them to lower there payments, and to pay off some high interest loans, we created more discretionary income, and they are going to pay off there home, and be debt free in 5.5 years, if they stick to the program.
They are so excited. I highly recommend everyone get a free analysis. We have an application on our website www.hoskinsvanhorn.com . It is free and we do not need any private information like account numbers, or social security numbers, so you do not need to worry about identity theft.If you would like more information on The Money merge Account you can email me at hughvh@themortgageguild.com, or you can attend my free live webinar, it is held every Saturday at 10am. The info is at the top of this blog.

Money Merge Account: Why is this important?
I was thinking about why The Money Merge Account is so popular this mourning. Everyone I talk to has a desire to pay down there principle balance on there home, to either pay it off or create more equity. Now I know that this is an idea you would think everyone would want. However over the past 3 or 4 years no one wanted to pay there house off or even cared what there loan balance was. They just wanted the lowest payment no matter the cost.We are now in a real estate market where the average homeowner is watching the little equity they have as it slowly dwindles down to nothing. That is not a good feeling. Could this circumstance have been avoided? Is this normal? How did we get here? Why hasn't The Money Merge Account been more popular earlier on?
Well to understand all this we need a little real estate in America history Lesson. I believe the start of this goes back to 1934 when FDR signed the "New Deal". Apart of that "New Deal" was FHA or the Federal Housing Administration. FHA has done and is continuing to do a good job of making housing affordable in this country. They came out with a loan to help consumers afford housing. The first loan in 1934 was an interest only 5 or 7 year loan with a balloon payment on the end. It was only a 20% loan, which means the borrower had to come in with 80% down. Remember that house prices were also more affordable. But as Will Rodgers once said "The funny thing about land is they're not making it anymore." So house prices quickly started appreciating. It then all became supply and demand, as loans started requiring less investment up front from the average Joe, and the rates and terms of loans become more favorable with longer terms and lower rates. it became easier to own a home. Our population doubles every 50 years, those people don't all show up at once but over time. This makes the centers of our civilization more, and more expensive. Here is our real estate prices and the population growth side by side over the last 100 years, so you can see the effects:
The last 100 years:
Yr......Population...Change from last 50yrs...US Median Home Price
1906....75,000,000............Double.................$5,000
1956....150,000,000..........Double.................$16,200
Today..300,000,000.........Double.................$231,000
2056?..600,000,000??.....Double ??............$???????????
We have gone from a 5yr. loan to, 15yrs., to 30yrs., to even 40yr. and 50yr. year loans. Some folks have even done negative amortization loans where they pay a low payment below what is actually owed every month and differ the payments to a later time. None of these loans are bad loans, they all have strategies, and there time, and place, but it shows that the US is a country where we have come to the realization....."WE WILL NEVER PAY OUR HOME OFF."
That is why The Money Merge Account software is so important. It creates a system to pay your home off in as little as 1/3 to 1/2 the time, and it does this with little to no change in your current life style. It is changing peoples lives. It is a light in our dark world of debt. It is a way that the middle class can actually own there own home.I heard that in the old days, neighbors would through a mortgage burning party when they paid off there home. They would invite all there family and friends throw a party, and literally burn there mortgage. Wouldn't it be great to go to a party like that? I would love to have a Party to celebrate real financial freedom.
If you would like to make plans to have a party of your own. Read more of my blogs, and come to our free Money Merge Account webinar, it is every Saturday at 10am PST. You can do it from home. Please learn what you can about this awesome concept. The only thing you have to loose with the Money Merge Account is your mortgage.

Money Merge Account ™: How does a money merge account work?
Why the Money Merge Account software? Well it makes the pay-off faster than doing it yourself, or with any other program. Don't believe me? I have a bi-weekly payment calculator and a prepayment(making extra payments) calculator you can play with and do an analysis. It is on www.hoskinsvanhorn.com. I or another U1st financial agent can do an analysis using the Money Merge Account. I have never seen a circumstance where the simple prepayment or the bi-weekly payment option out performed the Money Merge Account.
If you search the Internet, the only folk that say anything bad about the Money Merge Account are people who simply haven't taken the time to accurately figure it out. It takes some research, and I know it took a lot of time until the light went on for me. Everyone who uses the money merge account seems to think it is the best opportunity out there. I have never heard anyone on the program who doesn't like it. Why does it work? There has to be a simple explanation....
The explanation takes numbers, math, examples, and presentations........but I will try to explain it as easy as I can. If you are a person who wants the in-depth explanation, come to my webinar or check out the videos further down on my blog.
OK here we go......
Your first mortgage is a closed ended loan, and your payments are amortized over the period of the loan (typically 30 years). During the first few years of the life of your loan, you pay very little principle. However, if you make a one time prepayment, your payment will not change, but the amount of money going to your principle balance will. The portion of your mortgage payment that goes to your principle will be greater than if you did not make a prepayment. The principle portion of your mortgage payment will continue to be greater on every single payment you make for the life of the loan. Where do we get the extra money to make the prepayment? Most of us don't have it sitting around in our savings accounts, and that's where the Money Merge account comes in. Providing you a way to borrow the funds for that purpose.
Now I know what you're thinking. This is where I started to become skeptical. You are saying to yourself "Why does it help to borrow money to pay off borrowed money?". Well it is common since the Money Merge Account allows you to use an open ended loan or credit line, which if used properly can cancel out interest by depositing your paycheck directly into it. In simple terms, it costs you less in real cold hard cash to have the benefit of paying the additional principle every month. Remember, paying the additional principle means less interest charges on a larger loan, your first mortgage.
The Money Merge Account software is the glue that holds this concept together. If you borrow too much money from your credit line you will pay too much money in interest. If you don't borrow enough money you will not pay your home off as aggressively as you should.
Do your research and don't be quick to judge. The software is worth it.
Just to recap:
1. You cancel interest by making prepayments.
2. You make the prepayment with an open ended credit line.
3. You cancel out a large portion of the credit line interest charges by depositing 100% of your paycheck into it. Use the credit line to pay all your expenses.
4. You pay the credit line down over time. Pull more money out to repeat the prepayment process, which is going to pay your home off faster than just sending in the extra payments every month.
5. The software examines this process for you to make sure you are making the right amount of prepayments.
6. You pay your home off in a fraction of the time.
If this still doesn't make sense you can watch the videos below, or come to my free webinar. Please email me, I will be happy to do an analysis for you. This program is helping people. We all should have the opportunity to own our homes free and clear one day. I hope to help you and the ones you love achieve that dream.
Money Merge Account ™: Benefits
The Money Merge Account uses a home equity line of credit in most cases. That equity line is an awesome emergency funds account. My dad always told me to keep at least 1 years worth of savings just in case. Most Americans do not follow my dad's advice. In fact, the last statistic I heard was that 95% of Americans have no savings at all. The home equity line of credit is an available line. It is important not to use your equity line for non needed items, but if an emergency comes up, you have access to those funds. If you use the whole line of credit it defeats the purpose of the Money Merge Account, however the available balance is a great safety net in case something happens. And as they say better safe than sorry.
The budgeting affects of the Money Merge Account software also gets over looked. This program well teach you to be a better saver and help you stay on your budget. The true cost function is awesome. Perspective is key. I don't like it when someone tells me what to do, however I do like to have all the information available before I make a decision. The true cost function does that because every time you buy something instead of putting those funds toward your debt has a true cost including interest. A $6,000 recreational vehicle may actually cost you over $10,000. This feature will wind up saving you more than just the interest on your home.
The Money merge account is also a great way to boost your credit scores. One of the aspects that FICO looks at is your available balance. Since you have a HELOC that you are paying down, you will have a large available balance that will help increase your score. You also have an account to pay your bills with every month. You will no longer be waiting for your paycheck to pay the bills. Less stress and better credit scores.
These are just some of the other benefits of the money merge account if you want to learn more please come to our free webinar on Saturday at 10am. The information is on this blog.
