“The True Cost of Your Mortgage Debt”
Part Two
Why Refinancing Usually Makes Things Worse.

The bank is definitely on the winning end of your
home loan.
That much is clear.

Who is on the winning end
when you refinance?

Let’s say 5 years into your mortgage,
you refinance your loan to 4.5%.

Your new monthly payment is $942.99,
$250 less than your previous payment.

Your new monthly payment is $942.99,
$250 less than your previous payment.
You are saving money, paying less interest
and taking care of your family.

So far so good.

But what interest rate are we really paying
on our 4.5% loan?

82%

But don’t forget...

But don’t forget...
...you already paid $58,055 interest on your first loan.

You also paid several thousand dollars to do the
refinance.
$4,000 +/- refi costs.

Not to mention,

Not to mention,
you are now starting over at month 1
of a new 30 year loan...

...building equity by less than $1 a month.
Equity/You Interest/Bank
Month 1 $245.08 $697.91
Month 2 $246.00 $696.99
Month 3 $246.92 $696.07
Month 4 $247.85 $695.14
Month 5 $248.78 $694.21
Month 6 $249.71 $693.28

You also kicked your retirement another 30 years down
the road...

most of us refinance several times,
and use our new home loans to pay off credit cards,
auto loans and other consumer debts.

refinancing?

Let’s review.
Your new 4.5% loan saves:
$250 +/- month
$20,250 +/- interest

Let’s review.
But it costs:
$211,422.40
114%
$4,000 +/- refi costs
an additional 5 years of debt

You are saving money and paying less
interest,

You are saving money and paying less
interest,
but you aren’t any closer to financial
freedom.

In fact, you’re further than ever.

Imagine...

...financial freedom.
