What are your thoughts on a equity-indexed universal life insurance?

I was listening to Bigger Pockets episode 17 with Jeff Brown (shout out Jeff!) and they spoke about this topic.

I want to know on what different people have experienced and what EIUL did you go with?

    It's a good strategy for the right person.  When designed properly and implemented properly throughout the years, it could really be beneficial.

    The idea is to keep the death benefit as low as possible to keep the internal costs of insurance down.  If it's used for funding RE, it's designed differently than if needed for death benefit.

    It depends on the purpose of the life insurance. If you are thinking of leveraging the cash value for investing in real estate, then its every bit as good as Whole Life. This subject has been covered extensively on BP. You can check out this post to get a good idea of the different perspectives:
