Remnant Finance - Infinite Banking and Capital Control

When and How to Use Policy Loans - Strategic Decisions for Your Banking System


Listen Later

Policy loans are one of the most powerful tools in infinite banking, but they're not free money. In this episode, Hans and Brian dive deep into the strategic considerations around when to use policy loans, when to avoid them, and how to think through these decisions holistically.


From philosophical approaches to practical examples, they explore the spectrum of policy loan usage in the infinite banking community, ranging from Nelson Nash's "cut out the snakes and dragons" philosophy to pure arbitrage-focused strategies. The hosts share real-world scenarios that illustrate the power of having control and optionality in your financial decisions.


Through Brian's recent land purchase and various investment examples, they demonstrate why maintaining liquidity provides strategic advantages and how policy loans can be leveraged responsibly as part of a comprehensive wealth-building strategy.


The Philosophy Spectrum of Policy Loans: The infinite banking community spans from Nelson Nash's "cut out the snakes and dragons" approach to pure arbitrage-focused strategies. Finding the middle ground means using policy loans strategically while maintaining core principles over the 17-20 year journey.


You Finance Everything You Buy: Whether you pay cash or finance, you're always giving up opportunity cost. When you hand cash to a dealer, that money stops working for you and starts working for them. Understanding this helps frame policy loan decisions within your overall capital allocation.


The Power of Having Options: Maintaining liquidity provides strategic advantages. Keeping cash reserves above emergency fund levels allows you to seize unexpected opportunities, while having multiple financing options creates optimal decision-making flexibility.


When NOT to Use Policy Loans: Avoid using policy loans for daily expenses, laddering policies (using loans to fund new policies), and taking loans without a repayment plan. Policy loans require responsible banking practices despite their flexibility.


Investment Arbitrage Considerations: A 10% minimum return threshold provides one framework for policy loan investments. Asset allocation models can guide decisions beyond simple interest rate arbitrage across real estate, private lending, and other investment categories.
