Buying A Rental With Life Insurance
Does anybody know who and where I can get started in buying rental properties with life insurance policies? Are there any recommended insurance companies that can help me with this strategy?

@David Thuve, You're not really using life insurance to purchase properties. You are leveraging the cash value of a maximum over-funded life insurance policy and using the borrowed funds to purchase real estate. When you do this you are quite literally putting your money to work in two places at one time. The key is making sure that the policy is designed properly for minimum death benefit and maximum cash value.
