Who Is Chad Free?

With a career spanning over two decades, Chad has been involved in designing financial models for the ultra-wealthy and understands their approach to money. His observations reveal: So many accumulate significant wealth, yet experience an internal void. This often comes from putting their identity in their Net worth. With an industry that is not investing in their clients, yet fully investing in maintaining control of their client's portfolio, it tends to keep their lives on the emotional roller coaster of chasing rates of return and beating the market! The majority just don’t know all their options.

Nationally recognized as the leading authority and the number one strategist for building true wealth, Chad uses a combinational approach to wealth creation. His mission is not only to help people build external wealth through proven strategies that guarantee profitability but also to cultivate internal wealth. He is dedicated to empowering others to pursue their purpose, unlock their potential, become fully present, and experience real peace both personally and financially.

Chad resides in Fountain Inn, SC with his beautiful bride and two sons.

The Mortgage-Free Life: How To Pay Off A 30 Year Mortgage In 5-7 Years

The Mortgage-Free Life: How To Pay Off A 30 Year Mortgage In 5-7 Years

June 01, 20253 min read

What if your mortgage wasn’t the thing holding you back financially…
…but the thing that launched you forward?

That’s exactly what happened for Bob and Jane.

They were a normal couple doing all the “right” things.
Bringing in $10,000 a month. Paying their mortgage on time. Living within their means.

But like most people, they were stuck in the traditional system:
✅ Income goes into checking
✅ Expenses go out
✅ Mortgage chip-chip-chips away slowly—over 30 years

They’d barely touched their principal balance, and even worse? Their bank was earning a fortune in interest.

That’s when we introduced them to the Mortgage Free Life Strategy—a smarter way to handle their biggest debt and turn it into their most powerful move.


Phase One: Kill the Mortgage in 5–7 Years Without Changing a Thing

Here’s what we did.

Bob and Jane’s house was worth $330,000. They owed $260,000 on it.

We helped them access up to 90% of the home’s value through a Mortgage Free Loan. That gave them a $300,000 credit line.

Now instead of parking their paychecks in a checking account doing nothing, their income started flowing directly into that loan account. Every dollar deposited reduced their balance immediately.

In the first month, their balance dropped from $260K to $250K.
Then their expenses hit a single credit card, which they paid off at the end of the month using the loan—bringing the balance to $255K.

Month two?
$10K drops in → balance drops to $245K → expenses come out → ends at $250K.

Repeat that for a year, and they’d crushed $60,000 of principal.
In fact, after 12 months, they’d built over
$100,000 in equity.

Without earning a dollar more.
Without changing their lifestyle.
Just using a smarter flow of money.

Phase Two: Build Wealth While You Sleep

Once their mortgage was on life support, we showed them the next move:
Take the money they were
already used to spending on mortgage payments—and redirect it into a Specially Designed Insurance Contract (SDIC).

This wasn’t just insurance. It was a financial engine.

We used a type of Indexed Universal Life (IUL) policy that allowed Bob and Jane to:

✅ Earn market-linked returns (based on the S&P 500)
✅ Never lose money when the market drops (thanks to a 0% floor)
✅ Access their money
tax-free
✅ Get living benefits for chronic or critical illness

And here’s where it gets exciting…


Leveraging Like the Wealthy Do

After a few years, their IUL built up $100,000 in cash value.
They needed $50,000 for a major life event.

So they borrowed it from the policy.

But instead of pulling the money out and losing momentum…
…they borrowed
against it.

Now they had $50K in hand AND were still earning compound interest on the full $100K.

That’s the power of uninterrupted compounding.
It’s what the wealthy have been doing for generations.
And now Bob and Jane were doing it too.


From Mortgage Prison to Financial Freedom

Let’s zoom out.

In 5–7 years:

  • They paid off their mortgage.

  • They stayed debt-free.

  • They saved hundreds of thousands in interest.

  • And they built a protected, tax-advantaged income stream for retirement.

All by using the income they already had.
All without sacrificing lifestyle.
All by refusing to follow the old rules.


Bottom Line: Stop Following Tradition. Start Creating Transformation.

Bob and Jane didn’t need more money.
They just needed a better system.

One that made their money work longer.
Grow smarter.
And move
toward them—not away from them.

If you’re still following the traditional 30-year mortgage grind…
If you’re letting the bank win every month while you chip away at debt…
Then it might be time for your own Mortgage-Free Life strategy.
