Think You Got a "Low-Interest" Loan? Think Again! You Might Be Paying 2-3X What You Borrowed!

Most people think they’re getting a great deal because their APR looks low. But what if I told you that over the life of your loan, you could end up paying twice or even three times the original amount borrowed?This isn’t just about numbers—it’s about your financial future. The hard truth? Lenders understand the game. Many borrowers do not. It’s time to change that.🔥 What You Must Know Before Borrowing

✅ APR (Annual Percentage Rate) – What the lender advertises to you. This includes interest but may not reflect the true cost of your loan.

✅ Total Interest Percentage (TIP) – The percentage of your loan amount you’ll pay just in interest over time.Example: A 30-year, $300,000 mortgage at 6% may seem reasonable. But over time, you could end up paying over $347,000 in interest alone—more than your original loan!

✅ Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) – Essential if you're investing in real estate. It tells you if your income covers your debt obligations.Example: If your rental property earns $120,000 in Net Operating Income and your debt payments are $100,000, your DSCR is 1.2—a number lenders look for before approving loans.

✅ Cost Basis – Your true investment cost, not just your purchase price. It includes what you paid, improvements, fees, and closing costs. This matters for taxes, profit calculations, and smart investing.

🚨 Why Does This Matter?Because financial freedom isn't just about making money—it’s about keeping it.Many people are unknowingly trapped in loans that eat away at their wealth. They work hard, pay on time, and still find themselves drowning in debt decades later. The system wasn’t designed for you to win. But knowledge changes the game. So, What Can You Do?

🔹 Pull up your loan documents. Find your TIP and total cost of borrowing.

🔹 Calculate how much you're actually paying. It’s not just about the rate—it’s about the total dollars leaving your pocket.

🔹 Get educated. The most powerful investment you can make is in your financial literacy.

🔹 Take control. The moment you understand the game, you stop being a player—and start being a strategist.

💡 Your financial future is your responsibility. The banks already have a plan for your money. Do you?
