It did take me a few times of hearing it before I got it. I'm interested to see if others here will understand the concept / see how it works.

Thanks for being honest that you have no clue on how badly you are scamming people.

But you've just gotten the buzzer for dodging quetisons

So, let's try again

JOrsak, you are another "new member" huckster looking for marks and a $2500 MLM commission

We throughly understand

1.The scam misinformation techniques you use
2. The massive MLM commissions you get paid

You want to play here? Be the first UFF /MMA advocate to actually answer the questions that every advocate has dodged. Start at page 1, and answer the questions. On point. Don't spew marketing hype. And don't tell us we don't understand. I personally understand so well that I need a shower to clean up after each exchange

Otherwise just go somewhere else to commit fraud



WOW! Whatever dude. I just typed a whole freakin page of explanation to show you how it works. Instead of responding to that, maybe asking a question related to that, you just repeat your tripe and animosity and the idiotic "Start at page one and answer the questions."

Grow up and act like an adult and have a civilized conversation or just drop off.


Just answer the questions that I wrote above:

I will write them again. You can put the answer next to each one.

How long does MMA say it will take utnil your mortgae is paid off?
What was the amount you owed on your mortgage when you began this program?
What is the total amount of interest you will pay by using this program? (This number should be in the total interest paid column on your analysis)
What is the interest rate of your mortgage?

Very simple questions and these can prove us all wrong.



Sorry, I didn't see your post in between the others.

"How long does MMA say it will take utnil your mortgae is paid off?"
8.2 years
"What was the amount you owed on your mortgage when you began this program?"
$138,297.71
"What is the total amount of interest you will pay by using this program?"
$40,132.65
"What is the interest rate of your mortgage?"
6%

Sorry one more. What is your normal mortgage payment?

JOrsak said:So, in effect, I am managing to send in additional principle payment without coming out of my pocket to do it.No one disputes this. What you do not understand is that the amount of "interest cancellation" your salary float is generating is about $5 a month -- no where near the ~ $17/month the $3500 would have "cancelled in interest" had you sent it to the home loan, rather than to the scam. AND, you would have the $3500.

I know... you are going to say: But the program says I'll be mortgage free years early !! That cannot possibly be from $5 a month. You are right; the years melt off as you send more money from your salary beyond the minimum payment due. If you doubt it, just watch what happens to your happy mortgage payoff scenario when you tell the program you do not have discretionary income.

Sorry, laddie. You have been scammed, and only you and confuseU do not know it. Actually, only you do not know it. ConfuseU thinks a $3500 program that exhorts him to not waste money, but send it to his mortgage is worth the cost of admission.

Unfortunately for you, some people on here know a thing or two about math.

By my count you are the 16th person to come to these forums to tout this. All 15 previous times, each and every claim made by the UFF/MMA shill has been completely and utterly debunked. We use UFF's official numbers and presentations to do so (they are freely available from UFF itself), and we've had our numbers run by official UFF representatives using the actual software. It's pointless for you to try again (not that I think that will stop you). You can't say "do the math", we've done it. You can't say "you need the software", we've had numbers done by official UFF reps in this very thread, and we would come out thousands of dollars worse off if we did the MMA.

There is no secret to the software. Will you claims it's written by MIT mathematicians this time, or NASA Aerospace engineers, or Tibetan monks, or someone else? Here, I'll write the program for you in two lines of code.
10 print "Pay every free penny towards your mortgage!"
20 goto 10.
That's it, that's the whole package. I'm sorry you paid $3500 for that. I would have sold it to you for the bargain price of $3400.


Just out of curiosity, did you read my post? So far (as you guys are claiming of the MMA reps) no one has responded to the scenario example. So, here it is again:

In example:

Let's say you have 10K on a credit card and an interest & principle payment of $300 (just an example) and a Net monthly income of $5K. In that $300 payment $200 goes to principle and $100 to interest.

You get a HELOC or Personal Line of Credit (LOC) for $10K. The LOC has to be interest only, have a variable rate (interest calculated daily) and have check writing capabilities. You then use your HELOC or Personal Line of Credit (In Texas HELOC's won't work) to pay off the Credit Card. It is interest only so your payment is now $200. You picked up $100 a month in discretionary income.

So... you now have very little different. $10K was owed to a credit card and now it's paid off but you have $10K in an interest only line of credit. If it's a HELOC it is a better type of loan since the interest is tax deductible but that would just be tax savings (which is nice.) As mentioned earlier, in Texas (Due to certain restrictions) HELOCs won't work.

Now... here's where it gets different. Each time you get paid, you deposit your entire paycheck into your line of credit. So, my $10K balance is now $5K. If I could let my $5K sit there all month it would be easy to understand that my payment would be half of what it was when I owed $10K. However, I have bills to pay. So, as the bills come due I pay them. Each day my balance climbs back up so that by the end of the month I'm back at $10K minus whatever my discretionary income is. However, everyday that my $ sat in the LOC it took away SOME amount of interest. It is that saved interest that the software calculates on a daily basis and then informs you to send as a lump sum ADDITIONAL payment on top of your regular mortgage payment.

So, without coming out of pocket extra money, the method of offsetting interesting or canceling out interest allows you to save money which becomes additional principle payment.

I hope that you can understand the concept (forgive my poor explanation otherwise)because the math behind all the interest calculations and the process of tracking what amount to pull from the LOC, when, etc., is what the company spent 2 million dollars developing.

The common mistake people make is thinking that their mortgage is actually 6% or whatever rate they have. That is only true if you average it out over the length of the note. In truth you are paying over 80% to interest in year one. It takes almost 20 years to just get to the point that you are paying 50%. So, obviously, ever bit that I can get sent to the principle (ESPECIALLY EARLY ON) has a huge impact.

I am no mathematician. But I have seen the numbers and do know it works.

"What is the total amount of interest you will pay by using this program?"
$40,132.65
"What is the interest rate of your mortgage?"
6%

If you were to just add $955 to each monthly payment you could do this on your own and have a piad off mortgage in 8.2 years.

I think you will agree that if you follow the MMA program when it is all said and done you will have paid $138,297.71 to the principal of your mortgage, you will have paid 40,132.65 in interest to your mortgage and your HELOC combined, and you will have paid that was added to your HELOC and was added to the total principal paid.

This gives you a total of $181,930.36. That is the actual amount of cash you will have spent after everything is said and done over an 8.2 year period.

If you were to just send in an extra $955 per month in 8.2 years you will have paid off your mortgage of $138,297.71, you will have also paid interest on that mortgage of $37,102.78, and you will not have paid for the software.

The total here is $175,400.49. Tht is the actual amount of cash you would have spent doing it on your own.

$175,400.49 (Doing it on your own) < $181,930.36 (The amount you will pay using the MMA.

By using the MMA software you will have paid $6529.87 more than doing it on your own.

Now the question is did you get scammed? I don't know. You looked at the figures they gave you, were happy with those figures, and spent the money on hte software to be able to achieve those figures. I don't really consider this getting scammed any more than a person walking into a car dealership and agreeing to buy X car for $20,000 and then the next guy walking in and buying the same exact car for $18,000. Both got hwat they wanted but at a different price. The guy who spent $20,000 just spent $2,000 more for the same thing. You just spent $6529.87 for the same outcome.

Yes, now please read this thread since you simply want to ignore the previous 54 pages and start all over with you. I've even posted here the theoretically ideal case using the UFF/MMA software, with every possible advantage given to the software, and it still comes out behind simply paying extra on your mortgage.

I will politely ignore your last paragraph, but your understanding of salary float to offset interest debt is correct.

So, you have a 6% apy debt, and can offset it by your monthly salary (because you can hold off paying every single bill until the day your are paid again) ..

Unreasonable, but lets start there.

Will you agree that the "interest cancellation" is salary*6/100 for the first year ?

Before starting the scam, based on

* Principal= $138297
* Interest Rate= 6%
* Amortization Period= 8.2 years
* Starting month= Oct
* Starting year= 2007
* Monthly Pre-payment= $0
* Annual Pre-payment= $ 0.00

A 30 year fixed loan would be paid off at $829.16 a month
The accelerated amort schedule requires a monthly payment of $1782.88

Now, you tell us: Do you think your salary float all by itself is generating $953.72 EACH MONTH ?

If that were true, on a 200k mortgage at 80% you'd pay 160k in interest alone in the first year, over 12k a month, just in interest. A mortgage is simple interest, and you are confused by the fact you pay it in an amortized fashion.

Just to summarize, since I had to run out before I finished

Option 1: $43,632.65 ($3500 purchase fee + $40,132.65 Total amount of interest to pay off mortgage under MMI scam (8.2 years))
Option 2: $37,138.19 Total amount of interest to pay off mortgage simply be paying the exact same amount directly to your mortgage (8.2 years)
Option 3: $34,952.58 Total amount of interest to pay off mortgage in 8.2 years using the $3500 and applying it to mortgage immediately (and lower per month payment)
Option 4: <$34952.58 - Did not run this, but if you kept payments as in 1 & 2, payment would be less than 8.2 years


As you can see, every option that exists, except "do nothing" beats the UFF /MLM scam by at least $6500

Guys, our newest UFF scam victim in under the impression that the salary float is all that is paying down the home loan principle faster, and not more money than the minimum monthly mortgage payment coming out of his pocket.

In other words, if we want to convince him of the scam (if it is possible to convince these people before the government steps in), it will take showing that discretionary income must be involved to see shortening of the home loan.

I have a family. It's the weekend. I give priority to them. I'm sorry if I'm not replying to you in a manner that is suitable for YOUR time table.

Once again. Let's all try having a conversation where pejorative discourse isn't the only means of communication. I'm trying to be patient but SHEESH. Give it a rest.

Let me restate what I meant as I know that was confusing having read it again. What I meant to say is that your loan is not a constant 6% it is front loaded. You do not pay 6% day to day and year by year. Of your $1,000 payment in year one $800 + is going to principle. The EFFECTIVE interest rate is thus MUCH higher.

Also... I can't seem to find who originally said it since there are about 6 or 7 of you replying to this conversation so it gets hard to keep up with but someone stated something along the lines of:

"Your paycheck would offset about $5 a month in interest where as that wouldn't even over come the $17 a month that the software would cost." Forgive the lack of accuracy in the quote if I missed something.


I have to STRONGLY disagree on that point. If my net monthly income were $5K as given in the example and it sat in the bank for 2 weeks before I started paying bills, it would offset far more than $5 in interest.


On this note, I'm done for the night. The kids have waited as long as they can. So.... having said that, please refrain from liabling (is that a word??) me any further tonight simply for the fact that I'm not replying in a manner that adheres to the average bloggers response time.
