They're Lying To You About Velocity Banking (This Math Proves It)

I sit down with Zach Oehlman, a former velocity banking and 1st lien HELOC advocate turned whistleblower—who’s now calling out major figures like Michael Lush and the Kwak Brothers. After years as a top affiliate with Renatus, Zach breaks down the flawed math behind velocity banking, explains why the strategy doesn’t outperform simply paying down your mortgage, and shares details of his lawsuit against Renatus. If you’ve heard claims of paying off your home in a few years using HELOC “chunking,” this is a direct, numbers-driven breakdown—and an open challenge to anyone defending the strategy.
