Jake Song How To Fund Real Estate Using Cash-Rich Life Insurance Policies
2 May 2025 | 7 replies
Costs for taking loans are minimal as opposed to the substantial closing costs that can accumulate from obtaining mortgages and home equity lines of credit or other bank financed loans.The proper mutual life insurance company will allow full payment of dividends on the cash value sum regardless of loans taken, and this is a massive advantage over loans guaranteed by other financial products such as 401(k) accounts and IRAs.Furthermore, because this is your policy and you manage it, there is no worry about having loans called or otherwise altered, like they can with bank financing.The simplicity of borrowing and paying back your policy will at a minimum improve the real estate investor’s capability to swiftly capitalize on opportunities, adding the quickness of money to the equation, and opening up new level of freedom and achievement.A common objection is that using cash value life insurance in this way isn’t an effective approach for real property investors because the policy costs money upfront (premium payment) and is therefore too costly.However, this belief is especially absurd in the context of talking about real estate.

Thanks….I moved in to a new town in 2006… and I immediately joined the local REIAs…And the communication / email process of one had me baffled…. although there was a “ bulletin board” ..all comments were delayed a day or two before getting posted… I asked “ why the delay” and it was explained that all posts are vetted to make sure that they complied…blablabla…I called bull… by saying that …in my previous REIAs if you ran afoul of the rules there was a warning and a three strikes and you’re out system… but a sometimes deals a very time sensitive… getting the flip out to the whole group SWIFTLY was very important….
