Want to pay off your house fast? Considering Velocity Banking? You’re not alone.
So many people are motivated, whether by culture, values, or something else, to pay off their house as quickly as possible.
This desire is completely normal. But it can leave you vulnerable to some pretty big unintended consequences.
When we’re emotionally driven to do something, we can be attracted like moths to a porchlight, to anything that promises that thing.
When it comes to paying your house off fast, one such “porchlight” is Velocity Banking. This widely promoted strategy uses a HELOC to replace your mortgage and pay off your house, usually within 5 – 10 years, and save interest.
The problem is that we can be misled when the messaging hits all of our hot buttons, even if it doesn’t entirely make sense to us.
Save time, save interest? Sounds good, let’s go, right?
But unfortunately, math can be used to show whatever story you want, depending on what information you skip over or leave out altogether.
When the claims don’t add up, but we’d like them to be true, we reason that someone else already figured it out, so we can just trust them.

But when something doesn’t add up, it’s time to dig in and ask questions. Your questions are likely more valuable than the answers you find.
When it comes to your money, you deserve real answers so that you can make informed decisions.
That’s why we’re digging into a case study. We’ll answer the question: What is the fastest way to pay off your house?
So, if you want to have the most financial control while paying off your house, tune in now!

Where Paying Off Your House Fits into the Cash Flow System
Owning a home requires paying for it. And paying for anything, no matter how you do so, affects how much of your money you keep. Making the best financing decisions gives you more to keep and put to work. But no matter how much money you keep, it’s just one small part in the bigger picture of building time and money freedom.
That’s why we have created the 3-step Business Owner’s Cash Flow System, your roadmap to take you from just surviving, to a life of significance, purpose, and financial freedom.
The first step is keeping more of what you make by fixing money leaks, becoming more efficient and profitable. Then, you’ll protect your money with insurance, legal protection, and Privatized Banking. Finally, you’ll put your money to work, increasing your income with cash-flowing assets.
Paying off your house happens right here in The Money Finder step of your financial foundation. When you find, recover, and keep more of the money you’re making, you put more gas into your cash flow machine.
