In this episode of the Personal Finance Podcast, we break down everything you need to know about HELOCs (Home Equity Lines of Credit)—what they really are, how they differ from traditional mortgages, and why the popular "velocity banking" strategy to pay off your mortgage faster delivers minimal benefits with maximum complexity. We explore the math behind using a HELOC to chunk down mortgage payments versus simply making extra principal payments, revealing that the supposed benefits are often overstated and come with significant variable-rate risks that could jeopardize your home.
