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.

• Differences in returns with infinite banking.

• Constructing an infinite banking policy.

• Accessing and contributing flexibility to policies.

I constantly get questions and push-back on holding so much of my client's net worth as liquidity in their Hierarchy of Wealth's Tier 1 foundation layer. This episode digs into things we've heard like Cash is Trash so that business owners, real estate investors and those managing their family finances can put into perspective the value of liquidity and looking holistically at their Return on Wealth, not just microscopically at one investment they made or another. Bottom line - liquidity is king, it is food for the racehorse, and if you are seeking greater agency in your life then You are that horse!

Highlights

• Liquidity as a superpower.

• Feeding the racehorse analogy.

• Marketing during recessions: A turnaround strategy.

• Crisis and opportunity: The same symbol fallacy.

• The importance of having a war chest.

• Debunking “cash is trash” misconception.

• The redundancy analogy from nuclear power.

• Return on wealth concept introduced.

• Overcoming fear of missing out.
