Most people do very little strategic thinking about what investments they have or why they have them. They simply follow the herd or a popular investment newsletter that promises huge returns. In this episode I explain why residential rental properties are a cornerstone of my investment strategy and why I recommend you consider them as well. I get into specifically why I support these investments with infinite banking or family banking life insurance policies and show a couple of examples of the financial impact of doing so.

Highlights

• Why rental properties and hard assets?

• Impact of overall portfolio on wealth returns.

• Infinite banking: explanation and personal impact.

• Lessons from a rural upbringing and stagflation.

• Navy career and financial wake-up call.

• Control over money equals reduced risk.

• Maslow's hierarchy of needs applied to investments.

• Direct vs. indirect investment risk.

• Differences between savings and investments.

• Borrowing against life insurance for investments.

• Infinite banking's financial advantage demonstration.

• Differences in returns with infinite banking.

• Constructing an infinite banking policy.

• Whole life insurance vs. IUL and its implications.

• Accessing and contributing flexibility to policies.

• Scalability and contribution duration in policies.
