As you pay expenses for the month, the HELOC balance gradually increases until you effectively have the same principal balance on this HELOC combined with the Mortgage as you would have with the mortgage with an accelerated payment.The picture attached shows the comparison and how the HELOC method averages out a lower average debt level resulting in lower interest.That said, the total savings and ability to pay off the mortgage faster is minor compared to potential HELOC fees and risks, so I don't see it being worth it.I am also new to this, and would love for a critique to show me where this might be wrong.I would share the excel model, but I am not sure how to do that.Thanks!
