People Say a HELOC Pays Off Your Mortgage in Years — Here Is the Truth

Using a HELOC to pay off a mortgage is one of the most-shared strategies in personal finance — and one of the most misunderstood. The idea is real: park your paycheck in a line of credit so every dollar works against the loan balance. But a banker can tell you the one condition that decides whether it actually works or quietly becomes a second debt. Here is the honest breakdown.

In this Short:
✅ How the HELOC mortgage payoff strategy actually works — paycheck parking and average daily balance
✅ Why mortgage interest is charged on the balance, and how lowering it even briefly saves money
✅ The one condition the strategy depends on — and why sellers of it rarely say it out loud
✅ Why a variable HELOC rate can turn the math against you
✅ The no-risk alternative for disciplined savers: one extra principal payment a year
