Jake Song How To Fund Real Estate Using Cash-Rich Life Insurance Policies
2 May 2025 | 7 replies
You want a company with A-ratings across the board, that is a mutual company with non-direct recognition.Once your policy is created and funded and time has passed to allow for the growth of sufficient cash values (and this will change from policy to policy), you can begin borrowing from it as a source of private capital.Unlike the other financing sources mentioned above, using your policy offers an immediate source of funds without any obstacles.The benefits of cash flowing life insurance are as follows:-quick and simple loan approval-Does not impact your credit score-Does not add risk by hindering real property-Low fees and low interest rates-Growth continue in policy regardless of loans – known as non-direct recognition-Peace of mind in controlling your own loans instead of relying on a bankIn addition, the Cash Value Life Insurance Policy provides:-Guaranteed cash value accumulation-Guaranteed leveraged death benefits-Secured fixed premiums payments-Dividends-Tax preferred treatment-Creditor protection, as well as possible litigation and bankruptcy protection-Privacy, use, and controlWhen you borrow from a policy, you’re borrowing from your own cash value life insurance policy, so your approval and financing can be issued in literally hours.

Andreas W. How expense floating vinyl plank flooring in a rental?
23 April 2025 | 4 replies
Here’s the tax treatment clarified: floating vinyl plank flooring is generally considered a capital improvement and thus part of the building structure, which means it should be depreciated over 27.5 years for residential rental property.However, if the vinyl planks are easily removable and not permanently affixed, they might be classified similarly to carpet or flooring replacements, which can fall under 5- or 15-year property and potentially qualify for Section 179 or bonus depreciation—but this is rare for vinyl planks.In most cases, especially if the flooring is glued or clicked in and not designed to be temporary, the IRS sees it as a capital improvement, not personal property—so 27.5-year depreciation is standard.If you're doing a larger rehab, a cost segregation study may help reclassify some components for faster depreciation.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.
