What Is the HELOC Rate Lock/Cascading Strategy?

 

Leverages prepayment privileges and a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) to gradually reduce mortgage balance and lower interest rates.

Step-by-Step Process: Initial Setup

 

  1. Setting Up Your Mortgage and HELOC: Work with your mortgage professional to secure a $500,000 mortgage on your $1,000,000 property, ensuring you have a $150,000 HELOC in place within a $650,000 overall credit limit.

  2. Choosing the Right Lender: Ensure your lender offers flexible prepayment privileges, allows for multiple mortgage components, and provides the option to re-amortize your mortgage after each prepayment.

Benefits

 

  • Interest Savings The strategy effectively lowers your interest costs by leveraging lower rates for new mortgage components.

  • Accelerated Principal Repayment: By maintaining consistent payments, you can pay off your mortgage more quickly and reduce your overall debt.

  • No Increase in Total Payments: The strategy allows you to optimize your payment structure without increasing your financial burden.

  • Flexibility: The strategy can be adapted to various rate environments, providing benefits even when rates are stable or slightly rising.
