Information
Brokerage
Services,
Inc. and
its predecessors
have been
in business
providing
biweekly
mortgage
service since
1989. In
1995, we
developed
the Mortgage
Manager software
program making
it possible
to provide
the biweekly
service at
no cost to
the homeowner.
We are listed
with Dun & Bradstreet
and our D&B
number is
79-922-3433.
We’re
also members
of several
business
organizations
in Kansas.
The Executive
Vice President
of the Mortgage
Management
Division
of I.B.S.
Inc. has
received
national
honors for
his work
with homeowners
just like
yourself.
These honors
include being
featured
in “Who’s
Who Among
Outstanding
Americans”, “International
Leaders in
Achievement” and
the 1996
edition of “International
Leaders Of
Influence” which
is on permanent

and more,
eliminate
years of
mortgage
payments,
and avoid
costly lender
miscalculations.

2. HOW LONG
AM I COMMITTED
TO YOUR SERVICE?
WHAT IF I
DECIDE TO
TRY IT, BUT
LATER CHANGE
MY MIND?
Using the
Mortgage
Manager Savings
Program,
even on a
trial basis,
commits you
in no way.
Our service
is free so
trying it
costs you
nothing.
With our
service,
your biweekly
mortgage
payments
are fully
protected
and regulated
by the Federal
Reserve so
your funds
are completely
safe at all
times. If
you’re
unhappy,
you can cancel
at any time
without any
obligation
whatsoever.
However,
our past
experience
tells us
you’ll
enjoy the
service and
savings so
much you’ll
be telling
your friends
and relatives
about it.

3. HOW IS
MY MORTGAGE
PAYMENT PROTECTED
WITH YOUR
SERVICE?
We all work
hard for
our money
and we want
assurance
that it’s
fully protected.
We hear in
the news
everyday
stories of “fly-by-night” companies,
embezzlement
of huge amounts
of money,
etc. With
our biweekly
mortgage
service,
your funds
are fully
protected,
insured,
and are at
absolutely
no risk whatsoever.
All biweekly
mortgage
service is
done electronically
and governed
by Regulation “E” of
the Federal
Reserve System.
Regulation “E” is
a consumer
protection
law which
regulates
the transfer
of your funds.
In its simplest
form, Regulation “E” states; “An
account holder
has 120 days
to contact
their bank
to reverse
any unauthorized
electronic
debit to
their account.” This
can be verified
at your local
bank or Federal
Reserve location.
Your biweekly
mortgage
payments
are also
protected
by various
safe guards
to eliminate
such illegal
activities
such as embezzlement.
Any fund
transfer
over $1,000
has to be
approved
by an officer
of the company
and NO fund
transfer
can exceed
the maximum
amount of
any single
mortgage
we service.
Every company
employee
is covered
under a self-insured “employee
dishonesty
bond” protecting
every one
of your mortgage
payments
up to $10,000.
Our free
software
also allows
you to track
and audit
your mortgage
payoff and
savings every
step of the
way by using
a special
code number
we send to
you after
a minimum
of six months
on the service.

4.
I’VE
HEARD OF
THIS SERVICE
BEFORE, BUT
IT WAS NEVER
FREE. HOW
CAN YOU PROVIDE
SO MUCH AT
NO COST?
The Mortgage
Manager Savings
Program competes
with over
600 banks
and other
private companies
who offer
biweekly
mortgage
service.
They ALL
charge a
fee ranging
from $395
to over $1,000.
We could
easily do
the same,
but homeowners
who are just
getting by
(and who
need this
service the
most) have
a hard time
paying a
few hundred
dollars even
when it’s
going to
save them
thousands
of dollars.
When we
developed
the Mortgage
Manager Savings
Program,
we searched
for a way
to eliminate
this cost
and provide
the service
free to the
homeowner.
Volume is
how we are
able to still
generate
revenues
without charging
the homeowner.
The Mortgage
Manager Savings
Program is
the most
popular and
efficient
mortgage
reduction
system in
use today.
We’re
paid interest
in exchange
for managing
millions
of dollars
in biweekly
mortgage
service.
Every company
has to generate
revenue in
order to
service their
customers
and stay
in business,
however,
our earnings
don’t
come out
of your pocket
like they
do with our
competitors.
We are the
only company
in America
who offers
the biweekly
mortgage
service free.
You’ll
notice a
small banking
service fee
to process
your electronic
transfers.
This is something
we do not
have any
control over
and do not
profit from.
This fee
can be compared
to FREE cellular
phone calls
on evenings
and weekends.
You still
pay 3 to
5 cents per
minute which
pays for
taxes and
other things
the phone
companies
have no control
over. This
fee exists
with all
biweekly
mortgage
service,
even our
competitors
who charge
homeowners
over $1,000
up-front
for the service.
Actually,
you’re
already paying
this small
service fee
(plus a whole
lot more)
right now
in lost savings
each and
every month
to your lender.

5. CAN I
DO THE SAME
THING MYSELF
WITHOUT YOUR
SERVICES?
Almost.
You can pay
off your
mortgage
early and
save money
by increasing
your monthly
payment and
making additional
principle
payments,
but human
nature is
against us.
Statistics
show 97%
of people
who try to
do this fail
to do it
consistently
and never
save any
substantial
money – those
aren’t
good odds
to gamble
with on what
will most
likely be
the biggest
investment
of your life.
Plus, when
you start
making these
increased
monthly payments,
that’s
where a lot
of the mistakes
indicated
by the F.D.I.C.
occur. The
3% of America
who have
the self
discipline,
and resources,
to make increase
monthly payments
have a 50/50
chance of
losing a
lot of their
savings due
to errors
in loan amortization,
interest
compounding,
index and
margin calculations,
etc.
Our free
service includes
AUDITING
your mortgage
to track
your savings
and catch
possible
lender mistakes.
To have an
outside company
audit your mortgage can cost $100 to $150
per year and is critical since the F.D.I.C.
estimates errors occur in nearly every
other mortgage
with the average mistake costing the homeowner
over $1,500. Below is an article that emphasizes
the seriousness of this fact:
ATTORNEY
GENERAL OF
NEW YORK – After
ordering
the nations
largest mortgage
lender to
refund $150
Million dollars
in
overcharges; “We dug deeper and deeper
and found that this system of overcharging
is virtually universal. It runs across
the entire
mortgage lending industry.”
THE
HERALD – Lender
holds principle
payments; “About
four months
ago, my wife
and I decided
to start
making extra
payments
on our
mortgage. We were shocked when we realized
the lender held these checks more than
60 days before applying them to our loan.”

6. I CONTACTED
MY MORTGAGE
LENDER AND
THEY SAID
THEY WOULD
NOT ACCEPT
ELECTRONIC
BIWEEKLY
PAYMENTS,
SO HOW CAN
YOU DO IT?
Your mortgage
doesn’t
actually
change to
a biweekly
mortgage
because that
would require
refinancing
(which involves
new appraisals,
surveys,
inspections,
titles verification,
financial
statements,
etc.) and
a cost of
several thousand
dollars.
Rather than
the homeowner
budgeting
a full payment
once per
month, they’ll
budget a
half payment
every two
weeks. We
restructure
your mortgage
onto a biweekly “schedule” through
electronic
transfers
to give you
the same
savings and
benefits
of paying
your mortgage
biweekly
without the
cost of refinancing
or changing
your existing
mortgage
agreement
with your
lender. This
reduces your
loan amount
much quicker
than a “monthly
schedule” and
builds your
home equity
300% faster.
Funds are
forwarded
in the form
of a check
which is
verified
each month.
This creates
no problems
with your
lender and
also provides
a paper trail
which can
be used in
case of a
lender miscalculation.

7.
I’M
ON A TIGHT
BUDGET, ALWAYS
PAYING MY
BILLS AT
THE LAST
POSSIBLE
MINUTE, CAN
I STILL ENJOY
THESE SAVINGS?
Absolutely.
In fact,
you’ll
find “biweekly” payments
much easier
to budget
than “monthly” payments.
It might
take a little
getting used
to at first,
but the benefits
and savings
you’ll
enjoy make
it well worth
it.
The National
Council of
Savings Institutions
says, “biweekly
payments
are ‘pro-consumer’ because
they equal
the paycheck
flow.” Since
biweekly
payments
correspond
to America’s
paydays,
it makes
mortgage
payments
much easier
for homeowners
who are on
a tight budget
or have a
difficult
time saving
money.
If your
budget is
so tight
that you
commonly
mail checks
before you
have the
available
funds in
your account,
knowing the
check will
not be presented
for a few
days, you
can still
take advantage
of the biweekly
mortgage
savings.
Asking your
bank for “overdraft
protection” will
allow your
biweekly
electronic
transfer
to occur
even if you
deposit the
funds a few
days later.

8. WHAT
EFFECT WILL
YOUR SERVICE
HAVE ON MY
ABILITY TO
DEDUCT INTEREST
PAYMENTS
ON MY TAXES?
Many people
are led to
believe it’s
bad to pay
off their
home early
because they
will lose
the tax write-off.
This couldn’t
be further
from the
truth. In
reality,
it gives
you added
income. For
example,
if you’re
in a 25%
tax bracket
and you write-off
$10,000 in
home interest
payments,
you save
$2,500 off
your taxes.
That’s
a $10,000
expenditure
to save $2,500.
On the other
hand, if
you owned
your home
and didn’t
pay $10,000
in interest
payments,
you would
have to pay
$2,500 in
taxes on
this money,
but you end
up with $7,500
in spendable
income.
It’s
a fact that
most Americans
sell their
homes after
about 7 years.
It’s
also a fact
that you
can make
monthly mortgage
payments
for 7 years
and still
not have
enough equity
in your home
to pay a
Realtor to
sell it.
By tripling
the accumulation
of home equity,
you’ll
have the
additional
money at
your disposal
to pay for
education,
vacations,
a new car
or boat,
retirement,
etc. You’ll
be able to
deduct those
interest
payments
where you
normally
wouldn’t
be able to
if you took
out a separate
loan for
such items.
You also
have the
ability to
dramatically
upgrade the
quality of
the home
you live
in by building
equity 300%
faster and
transferring
this extra
equity into
a more expensive
home if you
desire.
