I'm going to take this as a "NO!"

EDUCATE YOURSELF - yes, it will take time, but will lead to a selection that better meets your expectations & avoids potentially costly surprises!

I run a full-time planning practice focused on real estate investors, so I wanted to add a few thoughts for context:1.Cash Value Takes TimeMany IULs (Index Universal Life policies) may take 7–10 years before you can borrow a meaningful amount of cash value.

Here are the key tax implications we discussed:- - Depreciation takes longer: Foreign rental properties must use the Alternative Depreciation System (ADS), which means a 30-year depreciation schedule instead of 27.5 years for U.S. properties.

This takes a little more work, but it's the fairest and reduces the likelihood of tenants that squander utilities.If you choose #2 or #3, there are considerations:Start with an average.

But interest of even 15% for ~6 months (i.e. 7.5% cost) is rather tiny compared to ROIs at 50-100% (which takes work to pull off of course).

There l also learned to do commercial job take offs and estimating. 

I put roughly 20% down on a $200k home, and am curious what steps I could take to possibly turn my original investment into a large portfolio within the next 10 years, when we're currently "low on liquid funds" after finishing up a wedding.... 

So we take ours up to 350 pounds.  

If you have a "professional" tenant on your hands, they'll see that from a mile away and know they can take you for a ride.
