Harness the Power of Your Mortgage

Learn How to
Win the Money Game

How Would You Like the Power to Choose
what your House payments are each month?

Many options available! Liberal credit approval, low or no down payment, low monthly payments, choose your own monthly payment

Dear Friend,

Building a secure financial future is not as easy as it used to be. Those high interest credit cards, auto loans, etc. of 18-25% are draining money out of your pocket and endangering your financial future. For example, if your credit card balance is $8,000 and you make the minimum monthly payment at 18% interest, it will take you 25 years, 7 months to pay off the debt! You could be paying off that credit card debt into retirement.

There has to be a better way.

We are going to introduce you to a revolutionary new way of thinking that can change your financial future forever. We are going to show you how to harness the power of your mortgage to put more money in your pocket, rather than paying it out!

The Rules Have Changed

Since you need to borrow money during the course of your lifetime...

Doesn't it make sense to borrow the money as inexpensively as possible?

You should avoid high-interest, nondeductible debt such as credit cards, auto loans and personal loans. Instead, choose the better way.

Harness the Power of Your Mortgage

The Old Way of Thinking:

First, get the lowest-rate mortgage...

Then, start a bi-weekly mortgage program...

And, send in additional money whenever possible to reduce the principal balance...

This Depression Era mindset has been burned into the American psyche. But, is it possible this is exactly what you should NOT be doing?

The New Rules of Money

"You should get a big, 30-year mortgage and never pay it off." - Ric Edelman - New York Times Best-Selling author of the New Rules of Money

The rules have changed. Now...

Choose the best mortgage, not necessarily the one with the lowest rate.

Stay away from bi-weekly mortgage plans.

Never send extra money to your mortgage company.

Paying off your loan is like putting money under your mattress.

Your goal is to make the smallest payment with the biggest tax-break possible. That means never paying off your mortgage.

To understand why, discover The Truth About Money.

The Truth About Money

Here are 5 great reasons to carry a big, long mortgage and never pay if off.

Reason # 1: Mortgages don't lower home values.
Your house will grow in value (or not) whether or not you have a mortgage. In fact, most people discover that, over time, their mortgage balance falls while their home value rises - creating substantial wealth they never expected.

Reason # 2: Your mortgage is the cheapest money you'll ever buy.
Most people need to borrow money during their lives, so why pay 18% to credit cards when you can borrow at rates of 8% or even less?

Reason # 3: Your mortgage is the best way you can lower your taxes.
Interest you pay on personal loans, auto loans and credit cards is not tax-deductible, but for most of us, interest you pay on mortgage loans is fully tax-deductible, making the cheapest loan you'll ever get, even cheaper. Imagine borrowing money for a net cost of just 5%.1 You can do it with a mortgage loan!

Reason # 4: Get the cash out of the house - while you still can.
The main reason people turn to borrowing is because they have little or no income. But if you ever suffer a job loss, major medical or other financial crisis, you could find yourself unable to get a home loan. That's because lenders don't like to lend money if you are already in financial difficulty. That's why you should get a big mortgage now, before you need it - and while you still can.

Reason # 5: Your mortgage becomes even cheaper over time.
Depending on the loan you choose, your payment never rises - but your income likely will. That means today's mortgage payment becomes increasingly easy to pay over time!

The rules of money have changed. And nowhere is that more true than with mortgages.

A Tale of Two Brothers

Our story begins with two brothers, each earning $70,000 a year. They each have $40,000 in savings and both are buying $200,000 homes.

Brother A
Believes in "the Old Way" paying off the mortgage as soon as possible
Brother B
Believes in "the New Way" carrying a big, long mortgage & never paying it off
  • 15-year mortgage at 6.38% APR
  • $40,000 big down payment
  • $0 left to invest
  • $1,383 monthly payment(56% is tax deductible first year / 33% average)
  • $1,227 average monthly net after-tax cost2
  • Send $100 monthly to lender in effort to eliminate mortgage sooner
  • 30-year interest-only loan at 7.42% APR1
  • $10,000 small down payment
  • $30,000 remaining to invest
  • $1,175 monthly payment (100% is tax-deductible first 15 years / 64% average)
  • $799 monthly net after-tax cost3
  • Adds $100 monthly to investments, plus $428 saved from lower mortgage payment, where account earns 8% rate of return4
Who made the right decision?
Brother A
Believes in "the Old Way" paying off the mortgage as soon as possible
Brother B
Believes in "the New Way" carrying a big, long mortgage and never paying it off

What if both brothers suddenly lose their jobs?
  • Has no savings to get through the crisis
  • Can't get a loan - even though he has $74,320 more in equity than his brother - because he has no job
  • Must sell his home or face foreclosure because he can't make payments
  • At this point, it's a fire sale, so he must sell at a discount, then pay real estate commissions (6-7%)
  • Has $83,513 in savings to tide him over2
  • Doesn't need a loan
  • Can easily make his mortgage payment even if he's unemployed for years
  • Has no reason to panic since he's still in control - remember ... Cash is King!
How ironic: Brother "A", who never wanted a mortgage in the first place, is now in financial jeopardy because he was trying to get rid of his loan too quickly!

The Power Option Loan

The Power Option Loan concept lets you choose from four options each month. For example, on a $200,000 Loan:

Option One: | $838 month2
Option Two: | $1,039 month4
Payment based on an introductory start rate for the first 12 months.
Interest-only payment set up on a 30-year schedule.
   
Option Three: | $1,229 month4
Option Four: | $1,713 month4
Payment based on a fully-amortized 30-year loan.
Payment based on a fully-amortized 15-year loan

1. This example illustrates the monthly payment for a $200,000 loan with an APR of 6.75% amortized over 30 years. Payments include principal plus interest.
2. This example illustrates the initial monthly payment for a $200,000 loan with a payment based on an effective first year interest rate of 2.95%. The interest rate is 2.95% in the first month, interest plus margin thereafter. Payment remains fixed for the first 12 months. This option results in deferred interest which is added to your principal loan balance. APR and payment amount adjusts annually every year based on an index and margin and may increase. Projected composite APR over life of loan is 4.368%, based on initial interest rate, current index, and margin. APR may vary. The current index is 1.840%. Loan To Value Ratio of 80% or less
3. Each example assumes that the option presented is selected each month of the loan term. For more details concerning the Power Option Loan concept and products available in your area, consult with your local World Lending Group representative. See back cover for additional disclosures.
4. These examples illustrate the initial monthly payment for a $200,000 loan with an APR of 6.23% at closing. APR and payment are subject to change each month based on changes in an index and your loan balance and may increase. APR may vary. Payments under Options Three and Four include principal and interest.

What the Experts are Saying

"Carrying a mortgage doesn't cause you to lose any money at all. In fact, just the opposite is true: carrying a mortgage is actually quite profitable. It's eliminating the mortgage that forces you to give up profitable opportunities.

If you have a mortgage and you're dreaming of the day when you make your final payment, you're trying to do something that financially successful people do not do."
