Q. What is the Money Merge Account?
A. The Money Merge Account is an online account system that incorporates
your checking and savings accounts with an advanced line of credit,
or ALOC. Through this program, homeowners have the ability to
pay off their 30-year mortgage in as little as one-third of the
time, without refinancing their existing mortgage loan or increasing
minimum monthly payments.
Q. Why can't I make extra principal payments
to my primary mortgage and achieve the same results?
A. Simply put, the mathematics behind MMA present a sophisticated
process that has a substantial financial benefit over increasing
your monthly payments. The algorithms in the proprietary MMA
system are systematically programmed to create the highest interest
savings possible in the least amount of time. The math engines
programmed in the MMA system calculate the specific timing and
dollar amounts required to produce the most optimum savings possible.
Q. Does it make sense to move my savings
accounts over to MMA?
A. Yes, in moving your savings into your MMA account, you decrease
even further the amount of time left to pay off your mortgage.
Your customized online site has the ability to build a variety
of financial models to help you understand the effect that the
money in your savings account will have in decreasing the amount
of time it will take you to pay off your mortgage.
Q. Do I make monthly payments on my line
of credit?
A. Not in the traditional sense. You will use your line of credit
similar to your primary checking account. Your paychecks will
be applied to your line of credit and your monthly bills will
be paid from the account. By transferring your income each pay
period the line of credit lender will credit the monthly payment
requirement and lower your daily average balance, thus reducing
interest charges.
Q. If I am not increasing the monthly
payments on my mortgage, how can this program be possible?
A. The MMA system makes a connection between your bank account,
the advanced line of credit and your primary mortgage. Each time
you transfer income into your account it registers as a decrease
to your mortgage balance. By decreasing your mortgage balance
you now lower the balance in which interest accrues. By decreasing
the balance in which interest accrues, you increase the portion
of your monthly payment, which is credited toward your principal
pay down. The MMA system determines the specific timing and amounts
for each transfer required to produce the quickest pay off time
and highest interest savings possible. There are also multiple
financial options programmed into the MMA software, which assist
homeowners in paying down their mortgage as soon as possible.
Q. Why am I applying for a line of credit,
and how is it associated with my savings and checking accounts?
A. The MMA Program uses the equity line of credit solely as a
vehicle or a tool to drive the program. The MMA system is coordinated
through systems created by United First Financial and works completely
independent of the lender. The equity line of credit must have
the capacity to operate similar to a primary checking account
and be set up with an open-end interest calculation vs. a closed-end
interest calculation. Combined with the MMA web-based system,
this creates a formula in which the money in your line of credit
account generates an interest cancellation on your primary mortgage.
Q. Do I have to change banks?
A. It is not necessary to change banks. After signing up for
the program, we have a customer support team that will assist
you in orchestrating your banking needs with your MMA program.
Q. Do you make payments for me?
A. No. We do not have any access to your accounts. You will be
initiating all transactions by following the prompting of your
online MMA account. You will be in complete control.
Q. Do you have access to or control of
my money?
A. No. You are the only person with access to your accounts.
Q. Do I pay interest on the equity line
of credit?
A. There is interest charged on the line of credit. But because
your income is sent to your line of credit on different intervals,
the bank adjusts the amount of interest they can charge you by
offsetting the average loan balance. As a result the interest
charged is much less.
Q. Why don't the banks offer this program?
A. The MMA utilizes banking principles that are accepted by most
banks across the nation. The MMA program simply provides you
with the necessary tools to use your money to reduce interest,
instead of the bank using your money to earn interest. This is
the primary reason the banks do not offer the MMA program.
Q. Can I contact any of your client references
to hear about their experiences with MMA?
A. Due to privacy regulations, we are unable to provide personal
contact information for references. However, you can view actual
clients using the MMA program on our MMA informational DVD and
you are welcome to research our company through the Better Business
Bureau web site at www.bbb.org
Q. What happens if I sell my home?
A. The MMA program follows your mortgage until it is paid off.
The line of credit the MMA uses will have no effect on your ability
to sell your home. Once you have sold your home and purchased
another residence, we can put MMA back into action on the new
residence. Also, all the equity built in the account, as well
as the equity built with market appreciation, will make a great
down payment on the next purchase.
Q. Is there any risk involved?
A. From a financial standpoint, there is very little risk. No
stock market crash or extreme interest fluctuation can completely
eradicate the expected outcome. Only homeowners that qualify
to significantly reduce their mortgage payoff time and interest
will be activated on the MMA program.
Q. Can anybody qualify for the MMA?
A. It is important to go through a quick 5-minute questionnaire
when applying for the MMA program. Fortunately, there are several
avenues that can be taken to gain approval, but the MMA program
is not for everybody.
Q. Do I have to refinance my existing
mortgage loan to make this work?
A. No. It is not necessary to refinance your existing mortgage
loan. You may choose to refinance your mortgage for additional
interest savings but refinancing your existing mortgage loan
is not required for the MMA to work. If you do not currently
have a specific line of credit one will need to be opened.
Q. Will MMA work with an interest only/Neg-Am
payment on my primary mortgage?
A. Yes. In fact, MMA helps you to take control of the outcome
of these types of loans to benefit you substantially.
Q. Can I own multiple investment properties
at one time and utilize just one MMA program, or do I need one
for each property?
A. The MMA is most effective when used to payoff one property
at a time. As each property is paid off, your overall discretionary
income can increase; creating an accelerated payoff period for
each subsequent property.
