What if you could borrow at rates comparable to U.S. Treasury yields without going to a bank?
In this episode, we break down box spread loans - a lesser-known strategy that allows investors to access liquidity from their portfolio at highly competitive rates (currently under 4%). We explain how box spreads work, why institutional investors have used them for years, and when they may be a smarter alternative to traditional lending options.
We also discuss key considerations, including potential tax treatment of the interest expense, practical use cases (like bridging a home purchase or avoiding the realization of capital gains), and how to structure a box spread loan to reduce the risk of a margin call if markets fluctuate.
If you’re looking for flexible, low-cost financing without disrupting your long-term investment strategy, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
Thanks for listening!
