- 0:00I want to talk to you today about
- 0:01something that impacts your life in a
- 0:03great way and it's one of your biggest
- 0:05expenses and as a business coach who
- 0:08teaches financial literacy and teaches
- 0:10wealth creation, one of the things
- 0:12that's changed my life the most is I
- 0:14learned a long time ago that wealth is
- 0:17easier to create if you learn how to
- 0:18turn expenses into profit centers.
- 0:22And today I've got a special guest with
- 0:23me
- 0:24and he's going to show you how he helps
- 0:26people all day 6 days 7 days a week
- 0:3024 hours a day turn one of their biggest
- 0:32expenses into a profit center. I bought
- 0:35and the expense I'm talking about is
- 0:37your mortgage.
- 0:38Because I bought a two and a half
- 0:40million dollar house two years ago put
- 0:42another half a million dollars in it
- 0:44financed 1.7 million dollars of that.
- 0:47And
- 0:48what happened for me was
- 0:51the interest rates were really high and
- 0:53I just said well I'll get the mortgage
- 0:54when the interest rates go down I'll
- 0:55just refinance. So
- 0:58the interest rate that I got when I
- 1:00bought this house was 9.25%
- 1:03it was crazy.
- 1:05My mortgage payment was 17,700
- 1:09dollars a month.
- 1:11I bought this house 25 months ago.
- 1:15About four or five months into paying
- 1:19this they sold the loan to another
- 1:22bank another
- 1:24loan company.
- 1:26They raised my mortgage payment to
- 1:2921,000
- 1:31dollars a month. Now 21,000 dollars a
- 1:32month didn't hurt me
- 1:34didn't even hurt my feelings
- 1:35but I didn't I'd rather give that 21,000
- 1:37dollars a month to me. So I thought I
- 1:39got to do something about this. So
- 1:40working with the gentleman I'm about to
- 1:41introduce you to not only did when we
- 1:44moved over to the system that he's going
- 1:46to show you today not only did we take
- 1:48my payment from 17,000 a month to 9,000
- 1:52a month
- 1:54but I paid that house off in 25 months
- 1:58using this system.
- 1:59So you want to lean in, grab a pen and a
- 2:02piece of paper as I have a conversation
- 2:04with my friend, the man, the myth, and
- 2:06the legend, Tyler Hennessy. Tyler, good
- 2:08to meet you, man.
- 2:09Glad to have you. Glad to introduce you
- 2:11to our audience.
- 2:12So, Tyler,
- 2:14like who are you and what do you do,
- 2:15bro? You you you have this amazing thing
- 2:18that you do and
- 2:20interestingly enough,
- 2:22my most viral video short-form video
- 2:25that I have is about the concept
- 2:27>> to We're about to discuss with you.
- 2:29>> The irony of this all.
- 2:30>> What's that?
- 2:31>> The irony of it all.
- 2:32>> The irony of it all. So, so what do you
- 2:34do? Tell like like tell You can tell me.
- 2:36Just tell me what like what do you do?
- 2:38We'll let them watch us have a
- 2:39conversation. What what do you
- 2:40>> In the In the simplest form, I own a
- 2:41company called Go Mortgage Free. Go
- 2:43Mortgage Free. It's changed my life,
- 2:44truly. Back in 2020,
- 2:47if I rewind a little bit just to give
- 2:48you a little context for it, I help
- 2:50people pay their homes off about 80%
- 2:51faster than a traditional mortgage.
- 2:53>> 80%? Okay, so
- 2:54>> On average.
- 2:55>> Okay, on average. So, I'm just
- 2:56>> I'm a math guy. Mortgages are 30 years.
- 2:5980%. You help them pay it off
- 3:01>> About 5 to 8 years on average.
- 3:03>> Yeah, that's what Yeah,
- 3:04>> It's paid off in full.
- 3:05>> 5 to 8 years. Yeah.
- 3:07>> Correct.
- 3:07>> Yeah.
- 3:08>> So,
- 3:08>> That's crazy by itself.
- 3:09>> Yeah, so you hear that and your first
- 3:10thing is like, why don't I already know
- 3:11about this? Or too good to be true. Or
- 3:14if this was a thing, I already would
- 3:15have been doing it. And I'm like, if you
- 3:16actually just think about how the
- 3:18banking system works, if it is true,
- 3:20which it is true, why would the banking
- 3:22system teach you a way to get rid of
- 3:24your debt faster?
- 3:25>> Right, because then you're going to end
- 3:26up paying them less money.
- 3:27>> Right. So, they
- 3:28>> Of course they're not going to tell you
- 3:29how to do it.
- 3:29>> So, they're not educated themselves in
- 3:30it, nor if they are would they educate
- 3:32>> have mortgages.
- 3:33>> That's right. That's right.
- 3:34>> Yeah.
- 3:35>> So, I'll just to give you a little bit
- 3:36of context for myself. In 2020, I'd been
- 3:38a full-time worship pastor for How long
- 3:40was that? Probably 15 years at that
- 3:42point. And so, W-2 salary, I knew I had
- 3:46my business degree. I'd flipped some
- 3:47homes and stuff like that. But my wife
- 3:49is an
- 3:50elementary teacher.
- 3:52We have our, you know, paycheck every 2
- 3:54weeks coming in and I just felt
- 3:55strapped. We like we had flipped seven
- 3:57homes at this point and we always rolled
- 3:58the equity into the next home, right?
- 4:00So, we'd would
- 4:01$30,000 on a home, $70,000 on a home,
- 4:03and we would roll it in. Roll it in. I
- 4:05didn't have anything else to do.
- 4:06>> Right.
- 4:07>> So, what I'd been taught was you pay
- 4:08extra towards principal, which is what
- 4:11most Americans are taught, right? They
- 4:12go, "If you put a little bit extra
- 4:13towards the principal, you can pay it
- 4:14off in 23 years instead of 30." Or, 18
- 4:17years instead of 30 if you do bi-weekly
- 4:19payments or one extra payment a year.
- 4:21All these things were developed
- 4:22>> I like 5 to 8 years better.
- 4:23>> Yeah, I did, too, man.
- 4:24>> [laughter]
- 4:25>> Me Me too. I did mine in 25 months.
- 4:26>> Exactly. You killed it. As of Monday
- 4:28this week, right?
- 4:29>> Yeah. I love it. So, I get into this
- 4:32with my same salary. I did not get an
- 4:33increase in money, but I looked at the
- 4:35math, and I was like, "If this tool, if
- 4:37this vehicle does what the math is
- 4:39saying it does, this is a no-brainer."
- 4:41But, when I went to my CPA or my
- 4:44financial advisor,
- 4:45>> know anything about it.
- 4:45>> They didn't know about it, and they told
- 4:46me it was wrong. Or, if they're they're
- 4:48like, "Uh whoever told you that it's
- 4:49it's a it's a variable rate, or it's a
- 4:52risky loan, or you could lose your
- 4:53house." Uh but, they were always talking
- 4:55about a second position HELOC, or they
- 4:58either had no knowledge on it.
- 4:59>> Okay, you just threw you brought up you
- 5:00just said the word.
- 5:01>> I did. I'm doing it there.
- 5:02>> You just said the word. Okay, the word
- 5:03is HELOC. What is a he- I mean, I know
- 5:05what a HELOC is.
- 5:05>> Yes, sir. I know what a HELOC is.
- 5:06>> HELOC is a home equity line of credit.
- 5:10>> Home equity line of credit.
- 5:12>> Correct.
- 5:12>> Got it. Got you.
- 5:13>> So, it's a it's a it's a line you can
- 5:15get on your home, but traditionally, it
- 5:16was created for your your mortgage,
- 5:18which the word mortgage means death
- 5:20pledge.
- 5:21>> I promise to pay until I die.
- 5:23>> That's what That's what That's what the
- 5:24what the root meaning Go Google it.
- 5:25Literally means death pledge. That's
- 5:26what we've all kind of been bought into.
- 5:28So, they've But, the There's a lot of
- 5:30differences. We'll We'll get into that
- 5:31in a moment. But, I got into this HELOC
- 5:34in 2020, June of 2020. I had 27 years
- 5:37left on my mortgage at the time. I'm
- 5:38literally feeling like financially
- 5:40stressed, paycheck to paycheck. And I'm
- 5:41like, telling my wife, I'm like, "We
- 5:43make our money, and we put the extra in
- 5:46there, and nothing changes." But,
- 5:47they're telling me 18 years from now I'm
- 5:49going to be really happy I did this.
- 5:51>> [laughter]
- 5:51>> But, even
- 5:52>> I want to be happy on the way.
- 5:53>> I was like, "Can we Can we start now?"
- 5:54>> Right.
- 5:55>> Can we have some of that happiness Can
- 5:56we speed this up a little bit? Like, I'm
- 5:58working hard. I flipped homes last
- 5:59night, and nothing's changing.
- 6:00>> Right.
- 6:01>> And so, we you know, I'm going through
- 6:02the process, and I'm like, "Okay,
- 6:04if this if my math is right, I'm going
- 6:06to pay this off in 8 and 1/2 years, from
- 6:0727 to 8 and 1/2. But, the Lord in his
- 6:10wisdom he's given me, I realized I had
- 6:12relationships across the country on ways
- 6:14that you can you can perform um
- 6:17I'm trying to make this as simple as
- 6:18possible, but through private lending or
- 6:19real estate, uh solar 401k's, different
- 6:21retirement accounts that are
- 6:22non-traditional, you can accelerate the
- 6:24strategy. Long story short, I paid my
- 6:26home off in 3 and 1/2 years uh from 27
- 6:29years, and it radically changed my life.
- 6:32And in the process, I couldn't keep from
- 6:33telling It's like the gospel. Like if
- 6:35you if you know something that's And I'm
- 6:36not saying it's on the same level, it's
- 6:38not. But if you know something that
- 6:39changes your life that much and you
- 6:40don't share it, how
- 6:41>> How selfish do you have to be to not
- 6:42share it?
- 6:43>> Right.
- 6:43>> So, I start sharing it, and of course
- 6:45you the people are like, wait, what?
- 6:46Come out of the woodwork. Uh this this
- 6:48don't work. I'm like, come look at my
- 6:49note, it's zero.
- 6:50>> [laughter]
- 6:51>> My my note is zero.
- 6:52>> 100%.
- 6:52>> This literally happened. And so, and I'd
- 6:54acquired 14 rental properties in the
- 6:55process.
- 6:56>> Wow.
- 6:56>> So, I went from a paid-off you know, 27
- 6:59years left to a paid-off home and 14
- 7:01real estate properties. Uh you know,
- 7:03single doors that I'm owning at this
- 7:04point. And I'm like, I got to share
- 7:05this. So, that's that's fast-forwarded
- 7:07to this time. It turned into Go Mortgage
- 7:09Free, got a full-run business, and
- 7:10helped over 500 families at this point.
- 7:12>> you teach other people how to do that.
- 7:14So, here's a here's a question I have
- 7:15for you. So, you you paid off your
- 7:17mortgage in
- 7:193 years instead of 23.
- 7:21>> 27.
- 7:22>> Instead of 27 years.
- 7:23How much
- 7:25interest do you think or do you already
- 7:26know that that saved
- 7:27>> So, I I should on my own home. Uh our
- 7:29average client saves about 140,000 in
- 7:31interest. We see outliers over 500,000
- 7:33people, 60,000, everywhere in between.
- 7:35>> I'm sure with as big as my mortgage was,
- 7:37I saved a whole lot more than
- 7:38>> It was It's got to be insane. So, I I
- 7:40mean, I don't know my exact number. I
- 7:42know But for me, the time is more
- 7:44valuable even than the money I saved.
- 7:45>> 100%.
- 7:45>> If you tell me I'm going to get 24 years
- 7:47back in my life that I don't have this
- 7:48debt, I can make way more than the
- 7:50interest that I saved on it.
- 7:51>> 100%. 100%.
- 7:53>> So, that that time is so much more
- 7:54valuable.
- 7:55>> Especially when you take into
- 7:56consideration that with a HELOC,
- 7:59it is a revolving account that has a
- 8:01checkbook attached to it. So, even when
- 8:03you pay your mortgage off, now your
- 8:05equity is not some vague ethereal thing
- 8:08that you can feel good about having. If
- 8:10you find a deal that can make you money,
- 8:12you can actually write a check with your
- 8:16equity
- 8:17>> That's right.
- 8:17>> as the money.
- 8:19>> You can give me a check on your You
- 8:21write a check on your equity. [laughter]
- 8:22>> Bro.
- 8:23>> Amen.
- 8:24>> Do not tempt me with a good time.
- 8:25>> So, when you pay a mortgage off, which
- 8:27congrats to those who've done that. But,
- 8:29if you have a traditional mortgage, do
- 8:30you know you have no access to your
- 8:32money still? Unless you do a second lien
- 8:33HELOC, which you'll pay for,
- 8:34>> Yeah.
- 8:35>> cash out refi, which you'll pay for, or
- 8:37you sell your home.
- 8:37>> Exactly.
- 8:38>> In my home right now in Texas, I got a
- 8:39first lien HELOC and my money stays
- 8:41available. It's I look at it like if you
- 8:42had two closet doors and you're putting
- 8:44all your stuff in one closet and I shut
- 8:45the door and said, "You can't touch that
- 8:46ever unless you sell it." Or one's open
- 8:49available whenever you need it.
- 8:50>> Right.
- 8:51>> And what can you do with that?
- 8:52>> Give me the one that I can go get
- 8:54something done.
- 8:54>> [laughter]
- 8:55>> So,
- 8:56here's what here's what I've discovered,
- 8:57too, Tyler. I've discovered like when
- 8:58you find a deal,
- 9:00like wealth has a need for speed. And
- 9:02when you find a deal, like like an
- 9:04opportunity to change your life and all
- 9:07you need is some money to take advantage
- 9:10of that opportunity, access to some
- 9:11money to take advantage of that
- 9:12opportunity, and you got to wait two two
- 9:14or three weeks before you get approved,
- 9:15somebody else may already come up by and
- 9:17snatch up the deal.
- 9:17>> 100%. For me, you used the exact word I
- 9:20use all the time, opportunity.
- 9:21>> Mhm.
- 9:22>> I didn't I couldn't even see those
- 9:24opportunities for real estate properties
- 9:25when I had my mortgage cuz I had no
- 9:27access.
- 9:28>> Right.
- 9:28>> So, my mind was literally unable I was
- 9:30like, "Well, one day, maybe I'm going to
- 9:32save up my my emergency fund I'll be
- 9:34able to put 20% down on all of these."
- 9:35>> Yeah.
- 9:36>> As soon as I got access, my mind opened
- 9:38up to opportunity, opportunity,
- 9:40opportunity. And I just stepped into
- 9:42them.
- 9:43>> Yeah, it's it's so interesting. Like I I
- 9:45got my first HELOC in 2007.
- 9:49>> I remember you telling me this.
- 9:50>> Now, it was a second position HELOC,
- 9:52right? It wasn't a first position HELOC.
- 9:54It was a second position HELOC, which
- 9:56means I had a mortgage and a home equity
- 9:58line of credit, okay? So, that's very
- 10:00different than what I got when I started
- 10:02working with you. When I worked with
- 10:04you, I got a first position HELOC, which
- 10:06means I
- 10:08got the home equity line of credit,
- 10:10I owed $1.7 million on my house, right?
- 10:13When did I do this? When did I close?
- 10:14Back in May or June?
- 10:15>> I thought I was going to say I thought
- 10:15it was around May.
- 10:16>> May. May. I closed in May. So, this is
- 10:18So, June, July, August, September,
- 10:19October. So,
- 10:21it So, in 5 months from the time I
- 10:23closed on my HELOC, my mortgage is paid
- 10:25off.
- 10:25>> And you have access to all of that.
- 10:26>> access to all So, I got a $2 million
- 10:28HELOC, paid off the $1.7 million
- 10:31mortgage.
- 10:31>> you they can't do, by the way.
- 10:32>> What? They'll tell you you can't do
- 10:33that. Paid off the $1.7 million
- 10:36mortgage. So, now that $21,000 payment
- 10:38is not only gone, but they sent me a
- 10:40check for like $56,000.
- 10:42Sent me a check for $56,000. The company
- 10:45The The company that was charging me
- 10:46$21,000 sent me a check for $56,000
- 10:49just when I changed to the HELOC.
- 10:51>> Mhm.
- 10:52>> Then, my payment went down because the
- 10:55first position HELOC, and this is going
- 10:57to scare some people, but it only scares
- 10:58you cuz you don't understand yet.
- 11:01It's an interest-only payment. So, when
- 11:03I make my $9,000 payment, I'm only
- 11:04paying interest.
- 11:06Oh my goodness, I'm only paying
- 11:07interest. And my my But, my interest
- 11:09rate went from 9.25% to 6.25%.
- 11:12So, my payment went down to My payment
- 11:14went down to um $9,300 a month or
- 11:17something like that.
- 11:18>> Great.
- 11:18>> So, but because I had access to cash
- 11:22that was making me no money.
- 11:23>> Mhm.
- 11:24>> So, and like I don't have time to trade
- 11:26all day every day, trade stocks and
- 11:28options all day every day. I do some
- 11:30trading. I don't do a ton of it just cuz
- 11:32I don't have time. And I don't want to
- 11:34become a trader.
- 11:35Like, I want to do what I'm doing.
- 11:37Anyway, so I've got I had, you know,
- 11:39some money sitting in the bank. So, I
- 11:41paid my mortgage I paid my home equity
- 11:43line of credit down. I I I think the
- 11:44first time I paid it down, I paid it
- 11:46down by $100,000. That made the payment
- 11:48go down.
- 11:48>> Just to watch what it would do.
- 11:49>> Just to see what it would do. And I
- 11:50said, "Okay, you know what? I think I'll
- 11:51pay off $700,000 of this." So, I took
- 11:53$700,000 that was sitting in the bank
- 11:54making me nothing, and I put it on my
- 11:56home equity line of credit. So, here's
- 11:57what people don't get. Because my
- 11:59interest rate is 6.25%,
- 12:01taking my money out of the bank and
- 12:03making me nothing and putting it on my
- 12:05home equity line of credit, it's like
- 12:06getting 6.25%
- 12:09on money I had sitting there making
- 12:11nothing.
- 12:11>> Did.
- 12:12>> And
- 12:13if I need to use that money, I still
- 12:15can. Cuz here's what happened.
- 12:16Eventually, over that couple month time
- 12:18period, I paid it down to only owe
- 12:19$100,000 on this two three million
- 12:21dollar house. I only owed $100,000 on
- 12:23it. My mortgage payment was like
- 12:24>> 600 bucks?
- 12:25>> Yeah, something crazy. It was something
- 12:26Yeah, something like that. 600 bucks.
- 12:28Something crazy, right? And then
- 12:31my accountant called me saying, "Well,
- 12:32you know, we got to pay the non
- 12:35um the non compensation pension plan,
- 12:38whatever it's called. I forget.
- 12:39Non-employee pension plan." So, I had to
- 12:40pay the pension plan, which was a couple
- 12:42hundred grand, and I had a tax bill all
- 12:44due at the same time.
- 12:45So, I took some of the money that I had
- 12:46out of the bank and I said, "Well, let
- 12:47me use some of this money in this HELOC
- 12:49and see how it works." This is the first
- 12:50time. So, I took 400,000 out of the
- 12:52HELOC and paid off my taxes and paid for
- 12:55the pension plan and paid all that stuff
- 12:57off. Okay, now my mortgage is back up to
- 12:59500 grand.
- 13:01>> Cool. 5 grand?
- 13:02>> No, 500 grand.
- 13:03>> Oh, 500,000 for the balance?
- 13:04>> Right. I owe 500,000. I owe 500,000 now.
- 13:08Okay?
- 13:09But then, you know, had a couple clients
- 13:11buy VIP days and I'm like, "Nah, nah, I
- 13:12got all this money sitting around again.
- 13:13I need to get this money
- 13:15that ain't making me no I got to get
- 13:16that out of there. So, I just might as
- 13:17well put it on my mortgage." Paid off
- 13:18that 500,000 on my mortgage. Now I'm
- 13:20getting 6.25% on that money because I'm
- 13:23saving
- 13:246.25 on how much I owe cuz I don't owe
- 13:26anything.
- 13:27>> Saving more per day than you would have
- 13:28been making in a bank product.
- 13:30>> Even if it was a CD.
- 13:30>> 100%.
- 13:31>> high yield savings, any of that stuff.
- 13:33>> And it's so much better like having a
- 13:35home equity line of credit at 6.25%
- 13:38is better than having a mortgage at
- 13:402.25%.
- 13:41>> I would agree with you.
- 13:42And the math will show it, too.
- 13:43>> The math does Math don't ever lie. Math
- 13:45always tells the truth.
- 13:46>> Because the thing people don't see in a
- 13:47mortgage You just mentioned this. So,
- 13:49like let's say a 3% mortgage. That's
- 13:51still going to be around 60% in total
- 13:53interest percentage over the life of the
- 13:55loan. So, if you People look at their
- 13:56own disclosures, you go to page four or
- 13:58five of your disclosures, it will say
- 13:59TIP, total interest percentage. But they
- 14:02always tell you, "Oh, you got a 3.25."
- 14:04I'm like, "No." When It's It's all about
- 14:06time. How long are you paying on that
- 14:08debt is what destroys people. But and
- 14:11not but and they're going to call you
- 14:13every probably five to seven years to
- 14:14refinance and reset the clock. Why do
- 14:16they want to reset the clock? They want
- 14:18you to be holding to the debtor for as
- 14:19long as they they can.
- 14:20>> 100% because during the first what 7 to
- 14:2210 years of your mortgage most of the
- 14:24money that you pay on that mortgage goes
- 14:25towards interest.
- 14:26>> That's right. That's right.
- 14:28>> Even if it's not an interest-only loan,
- 14:29most of the money for the first That's
- 14:31They sell you on the idea of refinancing
- 14:34your house, getting doing a refi
- 14:38based on the lower payment that you'll
- 14:39have. But their incentive is not the
- 14:42lower payment, it's restarting the
- 14:43clock.
- 14:44>> And I'll mention this too so people cuz
- 14:46some people will say a lot of I'll just
- 14:47dump my money into my mortgage. And I'll
- 14:48always say, please go do that. Please
- 14:51don't. [laughter]
- 14:52Please go do that and tell me what's
- 14:53going to happen. Cuz you go put Let's
- 14:54say you're taking your savings or people
- 14:56take their emergency fund emergency fund
- 14:58and put it onto a mortgage. It is
- 15:00trapped, it's locked. You can't touch
- 15:02it. You lose a job an emergency comes
- 15:04up, you can't touch it again. And your
- 15:06payment didn't go down. Why did the
- 15:08payment not go down? You just paid the
- 15:10principal down, the payment was fixed
- 15:11cuz it was amortized.
- 15:13>> from the beginning. So you pay no matter
- 15:14how much you pay the principal down, the
- 15:15payment's going to stay the same until
- 15:17the mortgage is done.
- 15:17>> That's exactly right.
- 15:18>> Yeah.
- 15:19>> And one thing I want to note on is you
- 15:21talked about the second lien HELOC. So
- 15:22this is not an exaggeration. 99.9%
- 15:25of people when you
- 15:27loan officers and I I've trained over
- 15:2875,000 myself. When they hear about
- 15:30this, they know about a second position
- 15:32HELOC. The way it was created, there's a
- 15:34mortgage
- 15:35and a second lien HELOC, there's two
- 15:37loans that you now have to pay for.
- 15:39>> Yes.
- 15:39>> We want to get people into a first
- 15:41position HELOC where we remove it
- 15:42completely. We eliminate it. No more
- 15:44mortgage whatsoever.
- 15:45>> And and by the way, second a first
- 15:47position HELOC is better than a second
- 15:48position HELOC. I I both I have a second
- 15:50position HELOC on my house in
- 15:51Pennsylvania, but it became the first
- 15:53position HELOC cuz I used my second
- 15:55position HELOC to pay off my loan
- 15:56>> [laughter]
- 15:56>> to pay off my my loan on my house. That
- 15:57house is also like it's like mortgage
- 16:00free. I have two mortgage free houses
- 16:02because of HELOCs. So I used a And
- 16:05what's interesting is the house that I
- 16:06had in Pennsylvania when I bought it I
- 16:07paid $178,000 for it. Um eventually the
- 16:10appreciation gave me the ability to get
- 16:13a $70,000 home equity line of credit on
- 16:15it.
- 16:15>> Okay.
- 16:15>> Right? But it's the second it's it's the
- 16:17second position. So usually if I max it
- 16:19out, the payment would only be $600.
- 16:21Right? It'd be nothing. But, when I use
- 16:23When I use that um
- 16:26uh second position HELOC for other
- 16:29things, I still have access to the
- 16:30money. The thing that people don't get
- 16:32is a mortgage is a trapdoor that you
- 16:35can't You put money in, you can't get
- 16:36money out.
- 16:37>> A mortgage is a trapdoor.
- 16:39But, a HELOC, especially a first
- 16:40position HELOC Well, a HELOC is a
- 16:42revolving door.
- 16:43>> Yeah, that's right.
- 16:44>> some in, you can get some out.
- 16:45>> And if you have the right tools and
- 16:47strategies to use it, it doesn't touch a
- 16:50more I mean, it's They're not even
- 16:51comparable.
- 16:51>> Right. No, like if you understood what
- 16:53we understood
- 16:54>> Oh, yeah.
- 16:55>> about a HELOC
- 16:57you would get your HELOC today,
- 17:00regardless of what it inconveniences How
- 17:01it inconveniences you. It gives you
- 17:03access Think about this. So, I'm looking
- 17:05at buying I'm looking at buying like
- 17:09some land some mountainous land in the
- 17:12Ozarks of Arkansas.
- 17:13>> Oh, come on.
- 17:14>> Okay. Um some people are like, "Well, I
- 17:16>> I don't have my I have family there. I
- 17:17love it. Those are nice
- 17:19>> I don't have any family in Arkansas.
- 17:20That's
- 17:20>> [laughter]
- 17:21>> That's not why. I'm just I'm like
- 17:23based on my research, that'd be a good
- 17:25place for me, based on my objectives, to
- 17:27buy some land. When When I find a
- 17:28property I like, I don't have to wait 14
- 17:30weeks to close on something. I can just
- 17:31write a check from my home equity line
- 17:33of credit and pay it write a check for
- 17:34it and pay for it. And then all I got to
- 17:36do is
- 17:36as I keep acquiring wealth, just keep
- 17:39paying the HELOC back down. It's It
- 17:41gives you instant access For my HELOC is
- 17:43$2 million.
- 17:44>> Mhm.
- 17:45>> Right? And I don't owe anything on it.
- 17:46So, literally, I could write a check on
- 17:48my HELOC today for $2 million and it
- 17:50would clear.
- 17:51>> You got your own bank.
- 17:51>> I got my own bank. I have a bank.
- 17:53I don't need an underwriter.
- 17:54>> Nope.
- 17:55>> And I got my other $70,000 HELOC, plus I
- 17:57got $30,000 line of credit with my bank,
- 18:00plus I've got my American Express card,
- 18:01which I can do up to $500,000. Like, I
- 18:04have access to almost $3 million on my
- 18:08on my signature that I don't have to
- 18:10think about. So, if I find a deal that
- 18:13requires speed I'm there.
- 18:15>> Mhm.
- 18:16I'm with you. Yeah. For the For the
- 18:18average American, what Cuz some people
- 18:19will go, "Oh, well, that only works for
- 18:21a a Myron Golden or someone who has a
- 18:23lot of capital." Understand I started as
- 18:25a worship pastor. We together between my
- 18:28wife and I were making about $140,000 a
- 18:30year. Still still pretty good money, but
- 18:32not rich money at all. And we did it
- 18:35with that income because we learned how
- 18:37to sit our income against the balance
- 18:40daily.
- 18:40>> Right. And we offset our expenses.
- 18:43>> Yes, because that's the part people
- 18:44don't get. When you use when you get a
- 18:47HELOC in the first position, instead of
- 18:49getting your direct deposit for your
- 18:50paycheck into your bank, now you get
- 18:52your direct deposit into your home
- 18:53equity line of credit. So, every time
- 18:55you get paid
- 18:56that your paycheck is going into your
- 18:59HELOC, and then you write checks for
- 19:01your bills from your HELOC. You you're
- 19:03changing your habits. Same money,
- 19:07totally different outcome.
- 19:08>> That's it.
- 19:09Really, it's just like if I look at
- 19:10money's going to be sitting here say say
- 19:11you get paid $8,000 a month, $14,000, it
- 19:14doesn't matter. It's going to that
- 19:15checking account, and what's it do
- 19:16there?
- 19:16>> Sits.
- 19:17>> Nothing.
- 19:18>> Nothing. It ain't making any money. It
- 19:19ain't
- 19:19>> Or that exact same money can sit over
- 19:22here and lower that daily balance and
- 19:24save you money not monthly, save you
- 19:26money daily. Literally every 24 hours
- 19:29it's knocking the interest down.
- 19:30>> Yes.
- 19:30>> And then yes, you pay your expenses, but
- 19:32it don't come up the full amount because
- 19:33you're about to get paid again.
- 19:34>> And that money that paycheck's going in
- 19:35there.
- 19:36>> So, I look at it as like a seesaw that
- 19:37just kind of trends downward the whole
- 19:38time.
- 19:39>> That's a really good analogy.
- 19:41>> There we go, baby.
- 19:42>> [laughter]
- 19:42>> You forgot to go
- 19:44>> I don't know if I do that.
- 19:47I don't know if I try right now.
- 19:48>> Okay, yeah. Yeah, we we ain't going to
- 19:50make you try that on camera. Okay. So,
- 19:52so so [snorts] the reality is
- 19:54like
- 19:55this By the way,
- 19:57this is not a strategy for dum-dums.
- 19:59>> No, not at
- 19:59>> This is a strategy for people who are
- 20:01financially responsible,
- 20:03and they have financial discipline,
- 20:06but they want to have more access to
- 20:09opportunity
- 20:11as their business, their life matures.
- 20:14They want to have more access to
- 20:15opportunities.
- 20:17I can think of nothing that I've ever
- 20:19done in my life and I've done a lot of
- 20:21things in my life
- 20:23that has given me more access as a
- 20:25consumer
- 20:27to my own wealth.
- 20:28>> Yeah.
- 20:29I agree.
- 20:29>> Mind-blowing.
- 20:30>> I agree. It It It opens a few doors. It
- 20:32gives more freedom now.
- 20:34>> Mhm.
- 20:35>> It helps you buy back a ton of time,
- 20:37which a ton of time nobody's going to
- 20:38argue time is more valuable than
- 20:39anything we have on this earth. So, if
- 20:41we can buy help people buy back 5 10 15
- 20:4420 25 years of their life,
- 20:46that's transformational in itself.
- 20:48>> 100%.
- 20:48>> And it's going to save them a ton of
- 20:49money.
- 20:50>> Indeed.
- 20:50>> So, all three are better than a
- 20:52mortgage.
- 20:53>> to save them a ton of money and they
- 20:54still have access to the money. See, the
- 20:56I I I don't think I don't think people
- 20:58are really wrapping their minds around
- 21:00how valuable it is to pay bill and still
- 21:02have access to the money you paid the
- 21:04bill with. That's mind-blowing.
- 21:06>> That's That's That's the What happened?
- 21:09Mind-blowing.
- 21:10>> there.
- 21:10>> Yes.
- 21:10>> So, I've had clients literally lose
- 21:12their jobs, okay? If you lose your job
- 21:14and you call your mortgage company and
- 21:15go, "Hey, mortgage company, I got
- 21:16$200,000 of equity. I need access to it.
- 21:18I lost my job."
- 21:19>> Mhm.
- 21:20>> Do you think they're going to give you
- 21:20your money?
- 21:21>> [laughter]
- 21:21>> They're going to laugh at you and you're
- 21:23lost.
- 21:23>> You better pay that payment or they're
- 21:24foreclosing the home.
- 21:25>> Exactly.
- 21:26>> And a HELOC, I've had clients lose their
- 21:28job. One came up to me after church
- 21:29crying, and I'm like, "Oh dear lord,
- 21:31it's going to be It's going to be a bad
- 21:32prayer request right now." And they came
- 21:33up and they said, "Thank you so much. We
- 21:35maintained and saved our home and got
- 21:37through this journey. We were able to
- 21:39find another home because we had access
- 21:40to the capital that we worked for."
- 21:41>> 100%.
- 21:42>> That is That is
- 21:43>> That's game That's a life-changer.
- 21:44>> That is.
- 21:45>> That's a life-changer.
- 21:45>> That's real. And so, it is not for every
- 21:47single human, but if you if you can't
- 21:49afford your mortgage and you're going
- 21:50backwards on your mortgage,
- 21:52>> Yeah, you got to change your strategy.
- 21:53>> It's not It's not it either.
- 21:54>> Change your strategy.
- 21:54>> But if you're actually someone
- 21:55>> Sell that house and get out from under
- 21:56that crazy unit and go get yourself
- 21:58figure out how to get ahead. Move in
- 21:59with your brother and your sister-in-law
- 22:01[laughter]
- 22:01and y'all split the bills and y'all save
- 22:04y'all money like people do when they
- 22:05come here from a foreign country. And 14
- 22:07families live in one house and each of
- 22:08them gets rich individually.
- 22:10>> [laughter]
- 22:11>> But we got too much pride as Americans.
- 22:13>> That's it.
- 22:13>> Anyway. Anyway.
- 22:14>> So, the discipline is required and the
- 22:15strategy is required. That's what we
- 22:17That's what I'm constantly trying to
- 22:18help people with cuz I I mine was down
- 22:19to 8 and 1/2 years. I got it down to 3
- 22:21and 1/2 from the strategies I feel like
- 22:22the Lord's given me. There's so many
- 22:24ways we can maximize this.
- 22:26>> Oh, it's it's it's mind-blowing. Like
- 22:27for instance, one of the things I could
- 22:29do right now, like this building I still
- 22:31have a mortgage on. I think I probably
- 22:33owe 500 and something thousand dollars.
- 22:34Now, I borrow I I I bought this building
- 22:37for $625,000 4 years ago and I still
- 22:40probably owe 500 and something thousand
- 22:41dollars on it.
- 22:42>> That's a lot of money in the
- 22:43renovations, so
- 22:44>> Yeah. That there's that.
- 22:45>> But I could literally pay this mortgage
- 22:47off tomorrow
- 22:48with my HELOC.
- 22:50Whatever my interest rate is on this
- 22:51building,
- 22:52I'd be saving that much money by paying
- 22:54it off.
- 22:55>> You want to touch on interest arbitrage
- 22:56on what you're talking about?
- 22:58>> Go ahead. Let's touch on this a little
- 22:59>> to try to use big terminology, but
- 23:00interest arbitrage is what banks do to
- 23:01be in business, right? They say when
- 23:03people get a CD or a money market or
- 23:05whatever they're going to get, normally
- 23:06that CD, let's say the CD is paying 3
- 23:08and 1/2%. We give them the money
- 23:10>> Mhm.
- 23:11>> $50,000 for 3 and 1/2%. Man, I'm making
- 23:133 and 1/2%. What does the bank do with
- 23:15that money?
- 23:15>> They're loaning it to somebody else.
- 23:17>> Fractional lending. And they're making
- 23:18money on your money instead of you
- 23:20learning to make money on your money.
- 23:21>> Exactly.
- 23:22>> money. I want to learn to make money. I
- 23:24want to be educated properly.
- 23:25>> Exactly.
- 23:26>> way I look at everything in life, if
- 23:28it's an opportunity, then it doesn't
- 23:29have to equal my 7% to beat it. If it's
- 23:31an emergency, I'm going to spend it no
- 23:33matter what anyways. At least I now have
- 23:34it. I have access to it. For
- 23:36investments, I literally have it's it's
- 23:38the wisdom and common sense. Use wisdom
- 23:39and common sense and good judgment. I
- 23:41go, is that investment going to pay me
- 23:4213, 14%? I'm happy to loan out 7%, get
- 23:45that delta, get that difference. And
- 23:47that's free passive income now that I
- 23:49have coming in that's going right back
- 23:50to the HELOC.
- 23:51>> Take accelerate that process. That's it.
- 23:54>> This is This stuff is game changer, bro.
- 23:56>> There's light bulb after light bulb,
- 23:57too. It gets going to the weeds over
- 23:58here.
- 23:59>> Right. Right.
- 23:59>> [laughter]
- 23:59>> But But like
- 24:01people could literally fund the rest of
- 24:03their lives
- 24:05just by using their money in this new
- 24:07way even if they don't make 10 cents
- 24:09more per year.
- 24:10>> Exactly. It's the same money is working
- 24:12a different My my best friend, man, he
- 24:14paid off his his home, his lake house, a
- 24:16vacation property, and he's using all
- 24:18that to invest in other properties that
- 24:19are bringing him in thousands and
- 24:20thousands per month.
- 24:21>> Passively.
- 24:22>> Exactly. So, now you're the bank.
- 24:24>> That's it.
- 24:25>> And you're going to approve you.
- 24:26>> That's it.
- 24:27>> [laughter]
- 24:29>> Be better.
- 24:30We have an approval problem there.
- 24:31There's an issue.
- 24:32>> Yeah. Yeah.
- 24:32>> [laughter]
- 24:32>> You don't approve you. Like I I don't
- 24:34have to worry about whether I'm going to
- 24:35get approved.
- 24:36>> That's it.
- 24:37>> I mean I want you to think for up to $2
- 24:38million.
- 24:39I don't have to think about whether or
- 24:40not I'm going to be approved. I know I'm
- 24:41going to be approved.
- 24:42>> I'll tell you like so I cuz you know you
- 24:45have to keep up with the Joneses
- 24:46mentality. I'm not doing that. In the
- 24:48last 3 years, oh 4 years, I've I've
- 24:50switched houses three times. I've built
- 24:52the nicest home we've had. People like
- 24:54may might be asking why you building a
- 24:55bigger home. I'm building my line of
- 24:57credit a free access to capital. So the
- 24:59more my home is worth, the bigger access
- 25:01to capital that I have whenever I need
- 25:02it for opportunities.
- 25:03>> 100%.
- 25:04>> Had nothing to do with anybody else. I'm
- 25:05like I'm building this home and I'm
- 25:07going to try to get this as high as
- 25:08possible. So I worked with appraisers to
- 25:10get it as high as possible. Now I have
- 25:11access to more line of credit.
- 25:13>> There you go.
- 25:15>> I do that one, right?
- 25:17>> [laughter]
- 25:17>> Okay.
- 25:18>> That's it.
- 25:18>> But because because what this is this is
- 25:21what this is what it means to be
- 25:23financially literate.
- 25:24>> Mhm.
- 25:25>> So
- 25:26I remember the first time I went to
- 25:27Israel.
- 25:28>> I've been in Israel.
- 25:29>> Oh man.
- 25:29>> Yeah.
- 25:30>> It's awesome.
- 25:30>> Yeah. It is [snorts] awesome. So I
- 25:32remember the first time I went to Israel
- 25:34and we landed at the airport. I'm hungry
- 25:35as can be.
- 25:37I'm walking around. I Okay, I'm going to
- 25:38go to this little shop.
- 25:39>> Shawarma.
- 25:40>> Well, I didn't get shawarma.
- 25:41>> That's all I got.
- 25:42>> It's shawarma. It's shawarma.
- 25:43>> Even the hot dog is shawarma.
- 25:45>> [laughter]
- 25:45>> Um but I didn't get shawarma. But but I
- 25:48bought a couple things and she told me
- 25:49how much it was. And I went to the I
- 25:50already got went to the currency
- 25:52exchange and got some shekels. And so
- 25:53I'm like
- 25:55she gave me back some change. I don't
- 25:56know if THEY GAVE ME BACK THE RIGHT
- 25:57AMOUNT OF CHANGE OR NOT. WHY? BECAUSE I
- 25:59WAS financially illiterate in that
- 26:01country. I didn't know how to read the
- 26:02money.
- 26:02>> Let's go.
- 26:03>> Here's the tragedy.
- 26:04Most people who've been living in
- 26:05America all their lives don't know how
- 26:07to read the money.
- 26:08>> Mhm.
- 26:09>> And that's why we're making bad
- 26:10financial decision after bad financial
- 26:11decision after bad financial decision.
- 26:13When you learn how to read the money,
- 26:14you make different choices. When you
- 26:16make those different choices, you turn
- 26:17your life into a premium choice life.
- 26:20>> Mhm.
- 26:21>> I would even go as far as we need to
- 26:22stay in the lane. We can we can shift
- 26:24lanes, but we there's experts in
- 26:26different fields, right? So it it it's
- 26:28mind-boggling to myself and my team when
- 26:30people go I'm going to go ask my CPA
- 26:31about this."
- 26:32>> Right. Like
- 26:32>> And
- 26:32>> I'm like I'm like, "Your CPA's probably
- 26:34brilliant on taxes.
- 26:35>> Right.
- 26:35>> Do you know he has no clue how to pay a
- 26:37home off faster?"
- 26:37>> Right.
- 26:38>> They were not taught that.
- 26:38>> going to go ask your CPA, ask him how
- 26:40fast he paid off his home.
- 26:40>> Yeah, that's not belittling. It's just a
- 26:42fact.
- 26:42>> he hasn't paid it off faster than me,
- 26:44>> Yeah.
- 26:44>> then he's not your guy.
- 26:45>> Or financial advisor.
- 26:46>> And this is the challenge you can give
- 26:47people. Go find somebody who's paid off
- 26:49their home faster than
- 26:50>> I like that.
- 26:50>> I'm I'm going to challenge everybody
- 26:51watching this YouTube video right now.
- 26:53All y'all right now watching this
- 26:54YouTube video. [laughter]
- 26:55>> And yeah.
- 26:55>> I don't What if Myron and Tyler don't
- 26:57know what they're talking about? I
- 26:58challenge you to find somebody who's
- 27:00bought a two and a half million-dollar
- 27:02house and paid the mortgage off in 25
- 27:04months.
- 27:05If they haven't done it that fast,
- 27:06there's something they don't know.
- 27:07>> Mhm.
- 27:08I'll preach.
- 27:09>> Yeah, that's called
- 27:11checkmate, your move. Oh, that's
- 27:12[laughter] right. There There is no move
- 27:13after checkmate.
- 27:14>> That's right. I think the game's over.
- 27:15>> That's called That's called game over.
- 27:17>> But yeah, that that that the bottom line
- 27:18is uh people just have to open their
- 27:19minds to other strategies and understand
- 27:21>> Exactly.
- 27:21>> this is not going to be taught by the
- 27:22bank. It's I'm I'm telling you for a
- 27:24fact it won't be taught by the bank.
- 27:26>> They'll tell you it can't work.
- 27:27>> That's right. Or they'll find some
- 27:28they'll find a bank that says something
- 27:30similar and they'll be paying a lot more
- 27:31than they're paying for what
- 27:33>> And I've got good relationships with my
- 27:34banks.
- 27:35>> Yeah.
- 27:35>> You know why? Cuz I put a whole lot of
- 27:36money in them. Guess what? They wouldn't
- 27:37give me a home first They wouldn't give
- 27:39me a home equity line of credit in the
- 27:40first position.
- 27:41>> That's what we talked.
- 27:42>> Exactly. And that's why we do what we do
- 27:43and that's why we're here.
- 27:44>> That's right.
- 27:45>> Right?
- 27:45>> [laughter]
- 27:45>> And so
- 27:46everybody needs to understand that the
- 27:49difference between where you are and
- 27:50where you'd like to be
- 27:52is exactly the same as the difference
- 27:54between what you know and what you
- 27:55haven't learned and implemented yet.
- 27:57So, the sooner you learn and implement
- 27:59it, the sooner you can get to where
- 28:00you'd like to be.
- 28:01>> That's good.
- 28:02>> Yeah.
- 28:02>> I agree with all that. You don't know
- 28:03what you don't know.
- 28:04>> Right.
- 28:05>> [laughter]
- 28:05>> And as I said when I was live earlier
- 28:08this morning on YouTube, it ain't what
- 28:09you know that won't that will hurt you,
- 28:11it's what you know that they sell. And
- 28:12there's so many people that you're
- 28:13asking advice of and they know stuff
- 28:15that they ain't sell. So, I'd advise
- 28:18listening to people who know,
- 28:20not people who don't know.
- 28:21>> Amen.
- 28:21>> Tyler, I would love to talk to you again
- 28:23and I'm sure we're going to have an
- 28:24opportunity to do it and I hate to cut
