Abstract

A system and method for funding a home investment trust program to provide for home mortgage payments to pay for a home throughout the mortgage period, a first trust fund and a cash-out amount payable during the mortgage period useable for college expenses, and a second trust fund payable at the end of the mortgage period for retirement, wherein funding for the trust comes substantially from income tax savings associated with deducting interest paid on a home mortgage. The invention includes determining the purchaser'"'"'s tax liability and any tax refund or reduction due to the deduction attributable to interest paid on the home mortgage. The latter amount is systematically deposited into a trust fund. At a point during the mortgage period, the home maybe refinanced in a manner allowing the homeowner to "cash-out" part of the equity build-up. After refinancing, the homeowner will continue funding another trust with income tax deductions attributable to the interest paid on the home mortgage.

Claims

1. A data processing system for determining home mortgage payments to pay for a home throughout a predetermined period, a first trust fund and a cash-out amount payable after a selected period within the predetermined period, wherein funding for the trusts come substantially from income tax savings associated with deducting interest paid on a home mortgage, said system comprising:

a means for entering mortgage data, income data, and income tax data into memory;

a means for calculating amortization of a first home mortgage over a selected period;

a means for calculating for each fiscal year of the predetermined period;

an income tax refund for a prior fiscal year;

an income tax for a current fiscal year;

an amount of earnings to withhold from income including the income tax payable for the next fiscal year and any amount of income tax savings attributable to home mortgage interest deductions;

an amount of the tax refund to deposit into the trust fund during the selected period, said selected period having an end;

an amount of the trust fund after the tax refund is deposited into the trust fund; and

a means for issuing a mortgage based on the amortization of the first home mortgage.

2. A data processing system as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a means for determining refinancing data near the end of the selected period;

a means for calculating amortization of a subsequent home mortgage based on the refinancing data when the first payout of the first trust fund is made at the end of the selected period;

a means for calculating the cash-out amount, wherein the cash-out amount is substantially determined by subtracting a remaining balance of the first home mortgage from a refinancing amount; and

providing for a second trust fund payable at an end of the predetermined period wherein said tax refund for each fiscal year after the selected period and until the end of the predetermined period is deposited into a second trust fund.

3. A data processing system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the predetermined period and the selected period have a coinciding beginning, the predetermined period is 30 years and the selected period is ten years.

4. A data processing system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the predetermined period and the selected period have a coinciding beginning, the predetermined period is 30 years and the selected period is fifteen years.

5. A data processing system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the home has a value determined at the time of refinancing and the refinancing amount is approximately eighty percent of said value.

6. A data processing system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the amount of the tax refund deposited into the trust fund is the amount of income tax savings attributable to the home mortgage interest deductions.

7. A data processing system as claimed in claim 1 wherein part of the first trust fund is deposited into another trust fund after the end of the selected period.

8. A data processing system as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a means to generate reports of information calculated by the system and a printer for printing said reports.

9. A data processing system as claimed in claim 1 further providing for a second trust fund payable at an end of the predetermined period wherein said tax refund for each fiscal year after the selected period and until the end of the predetermined period is deposited into a second trust fund.

10. A data processing system for providing home mortgage payments to pay for a home throughout a predetermined period and a first trust fund and a cash-out amount payable after a selected period within the predetermined period, wherein funding for the trusts come substantially from income tax savings associated with deducting interest paid on a home mortgage, said system comprising:

a data processing apparatus including a data processing terminal for entering mortgage data, income data, and income tax data into memory;

a processor unit programmed for calculating amortization of a first home mortgage over a selected period;

said processor unit further having the capability of calculating for each fiscal year of the predetermined period;
