The Secret to Keeping Your Home - Keep Your Cash

Home owners will pay down their home loans. Six months to a year, the home owner will run out of money. At this point, they have no money in savings, their credit cards are maxed out and they can’t pay their house payment. This is when the home owner tries to refinance to get their money back out of their own home.

This is one of the biggest mistakes I see people making every single week. As the old saying goes “cash is king.” If you’ve ever ran out of money during a time like this you completely understand. In order to get your own money back out of your home, you will have to pay me and the loan offers commission check.

Does this sound crazy to you?

You pay down your home loan and let the banks decide if you can have your money back. Millions of home owners every year are not able to take the money back out of their home. Why? If the interest rate is not correct, then many times it is not worth refinancing your home or if the bank does not like your home, then you will not be able to get your money back out. What about the value of your home?

All of your money is locked up as extra payments in your home. If you do not pay your payment, the bank will take your home and the equity you have in your home, too. This, my friend, is why you do not want to pay down your home loan unless you have plenty of savings in the bank.

Secondly, if you get sued and you own most of your home, guess who will lose most of their money. That is right, you. Now on the other hand, if the bank holds a majority of the loan, if you get sued, you will have the bank on your side fighting for you.

So, the moral of the story is that if you have extra money, keep it in the bank and or other investments that may be more liquid than a home. This will guarantee that you will have enough money to pay your house payments back to the bank.
