Imagine that you have $40,000 in cash to finally remodel your old kitchen into that beautiful chef style kitchen you have always wanted. One with granite counter tops, and beautiful stainless steel appliances. There are actually methods that enables you to do this. One of them is called Mortgage Cycling and more than likely, you will have built enough equity with this plan to remodel more than just your kitchen. Perhaps the entire house needs a facelift or the the kids, and you, would love to add a swimming pool.
The possibilities with that extra money are endless and the best part is, not only does this make your home more attractive and comfortable, it also increases your homes overall value. Imagine that you have those extra thousand dollars to put down on a second home or an investment property. With a mortgage cycling plan you will be able to own multiple properties in a shorter period of time. You can combine the power of Mortgage Cycling with real estate investing and you could easily provide yourself with a very successful living..
We all know that investing in real estates have been great investments over the last century.
There is also the option of using the equity to provide a solid education for your children by sending them to the best schools. If you have ever wanted to send your children to exclusive, private school or college but could not afford it, then this plan gives you that opportunity. You can also be able to boost your retirement plan by tens of thousands of dollars and you could either retire years earlier or have that much more money to retire on.
If you have the chance to pay off your mortgage in a few short years would you take that chance? At the same time you could free up a huge chunk of cash every single month. The money that used to be an expense every month can then be part of your income. Some people make an extra $800 per month in their pocket, for others it is an extra $1,800 per month.
A biweekly mortgage can be good but it can only cut 8-10 years from your mortgage. Now you do not even have to hassle with a biweekly mortgage. With mortgage cycling you will pay off your mortgage in 10 years or less. Can anyone turn down an alternative like that?

Rental Property Mortgage
By: Landlord | 21-08-2008
Is it still possible to get a mortgage to purchase rental property. I currently have 11 with 9 mortgaged. I heard Freddie Mac cut the number of investor loans to 4. The price to rent in my area is becoming favorable with all the bank foreclosures. Might be a good time to invest for the long-term. Also, has anyone had any success with bank's financing their own REO?
Should I pay off my mortage?
By: john blanco | 21-08-2008
I am in sales and recently made a windfall of cash. I have on hand $600,000 in cash with zero debt other than my mortage which has a balance of 210,000 and a home equity balance of 35,000. The mortage is at a 30 year fixed rate of 5 1/4% but the interest collected is a bit over 700.00 per month. I feel I am wasting 700 per month if I continue to carry this loan. Can you please advise.
