Acceleration Strategy
All income parks in the HELOC daily — reducing the balance (and daily interest accrual) until bills are paid. Net monthly surplus + rent sweeps attack the HELOC principal continuously.

Phase 1 — Fund the deal
Draw from HELOC for down payment. Property mortgage handles the rest. HELOC interest begins immediately on the draw amount.
Phase 2 — Accelerated paydown
All rent + household surplus + extra payments sweep into HELOC daily. Balance drops faster, saving interest every single day.
Phase 3 — HELOC as checking account
Once paid off, income deposits reduce principal daily. Expenses draw it back. Interest only accrues on the daily average — often near zero.

Every dollar of income that parks in the HELOC account — even for one day — reduces the daily average balance, which is what interest is calculated on. This is the core mechanic of the All-in-One / velocity banking strategy.
Interest cost over time (no acceleration)
Accelerated HELOC paydown
Every dollar of surplus income and rent gets swept into the HELOC. Because HELOC interest is calculated daily on the average balance, reducing the balance earlier saves compounding interest — not just on that day but every day forward.

HELOC as your checking account
Once the HELOC hits $0, it becomes your high-velocity checking account. Paycheck deposits first — reducing the balance and daily interest immediately. Expenses draw it back up. You only pay interest on the average daily balance, which is far lower than your gross draw.
