I still don't quite get how this is works. So AIO is a HELOC account with a higher interest rate than the mortgage rate. Say your mortgage is $500K, so you pay higher interest with AIO on the $500K but you gain some interest savings by juggleing your paycheck ($4K bi weekly eg). The higher interest on the $500K will likely outweight the benefits of having $4K for two weeks in AIO, wouldn't it?
